Start at 8:30 a.m. for a three-hour, small-group food walk through Shanghai.

Guides such as Jia Chen and Anis add local stories, while Xiahai Temple brings a cultural finish.

“Fantastic tour. Jia Chen was a great guide - friendly and knowledgable. We went to places that were very local and not touristy at all - mixture of traditional and modern (some modern coffee places with special local-style coffee) It was a lovely area of shanghai to walk around in the morning. The food was delicious.”
