Step into the colonial-era French Concession and experience life across different social classes—from traditional alleys where locals once lived to a serene French-style park that was once reserved for expats, and the grand mansions of wealthy executives. We’ll explore three distinct neighborhoods, each with its own unique character—local, modern, and artsy—all beautifully transformed from historic alleyways.
Tour highlights:
1. Create your own traditional Chinese crafts in TianZiFang.
2. Stroll along the tree-lined Wukang Road and admire its distinctive architecture.
3. Visit a historic French-style park and immerse yourself in the energy of local life.
4. Savor a drink in a boutique café.
5. Step into a traditional residential alley and uncover how dozens once lived under one roof.
6. Learn how XinTianDi transformed into one of China's most successful real estate projects.
7. Take home a lovely souvenir.

Cần Quan Tâm
Xintiandi
Explore XinTianDi, once a residential alley, now one of modern China's most renowned real estate developments. In this trendy shopping district, let's uncover hidden traditional Shikumen houses, which once accommodated two-thirds of Shanghai's population at their peak. Step into another peaceful alley, tucked away from the busy streets around it. Many locals still reside here—elderly women hang laundry in the passageways, while grandfathers ride their bikes through the tight lanes, picking up their grandchildren from school. It’s a beautiful glimpse of everyday life!
Fuxing Park
Stroll through the sunken gardens and past the grand fountain, you might feel as if you've stepped into Paris rather than Shanghai! Despite a century of wars and social changes, much of the park has been wonderfully preserved. Here, you can witness lively scenes of locals playing the saxophone, practicing Tai Chi, and performing with Chinese yo-yos.

5.00This was one of the highlights of our time in Shanghai! The former French Concession is such a beautiful area, but what really made the tour stand out was our guide, Rachel. She was so knowledgeable and gave us loads of insight into the history and stories behind each area. We loved the mix of locations, especially Tianzifang and Wukang Road, and the little details we never would have noticed on our own. Rachel was lovely! Would absolutely recommend this tour.
Knowledgeable, personable guide

A Captivating Tour of Shanghai’s French Concession

5.00The private tour From Alleys to Mansions: French Concession Journey with Eastbound and Beyond in Shanghai offers a deep dive into one of Shanghai’s most charming and historically rich neighborhoods, far beyond what you'd get from a typical guidebook. From the moment we met Laura, our very knowledgeable and kind guide, it felt like walking the city with a local historian and storyteller who brought each street and building to life and provided very interesting information and facts about each street, buildings and way how people live. We wandered into hidden alleys where time seemed to stand still, and even explored some quiet courtyards, where local people live, we would never have discovered on our own. We even learnt how to make our own wooden Chinese fan, which was a fun experience to do as a family. The French Concession is a fascinating blend of colonial history, modern creativity, and everyday Shanghai life—and this tour does an excellent job of showcasing all of it. Highly recommended for curious travelers and family with kids.

5.00Had an awesome morning exploring the French Concession with this tour. We hopped between different neighborhoods. There was a stop in Tianzifang where we were taken to a craft studio, and i made a herb sachet. It smells amazing and has some medical benefits. Such a fun experience!

5.00Having lived in Shanghai for three years, I joined this trip with my business partner, and we both found it both thoughtful and entertaining. What surprised me most was discovering fascinating corners of the city I’d overlooked in my daily routine—proof that there’s always something new to uncover here. The experience masterfully blends history with local insights, and our tour guide was exceptional, offering detailed stories and context. A must-do, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime resident!
