Yes, unlike other so-called "free tours" that may hint on tips, this tour is free and no tips are required. This is because we normally host full-day and half-day private tours in the day time, and the evening tour will be an optional addition to the day tour. Therefore, we decide to open these slots for more participant to enjoy the city together.

We usually host the tour on Evenings on Thursdays and Sundays, but it may change due to weather conditions and our personnel availabilities. Also, considering the number of tourists, we may be off at public holidays. Please see the booking page for details.

We are a group of Shanghai local guides who are into the history and the beauty of the city, and we host private tours in the day time. 

Customs House Bell Tower​​ ​​Its 1927 bell (modeled after London’s Big Ben) chimed every 15 minutes—but locals boycotted it as a symbol of British imperialism. HSBC Building (No. 12 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu)​​ ​​Built in 1923, its lion statues symbolize British power—but their eyes were said to “guard” hidden gold reserves. ​​No. 18 Bund Building (No. 18 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu)​​ ​​This 1920s art deco gem was Shanghai’s first “skyscraper” (13 stories) and hosted the city’s first elevator—a source of wonder for locals. Waibaidu Bridge (Garden Bridge)​​ ​​In 1949, Communist soldiers crossed this bridge singing The East Is Red, marking the end of colonial rule.
