What you can expect

  • This is a multi-sensory journey that explores Shanghai's 3 defining eras—Ancient, Modern Treaty Port, and Contemporary—via a seamless blend of rich history and vibrant food culture.
    Your guide, a native Shanghainese, brings 30+ years of personal witness to the city’s transformation and 15 years of cross-cultural experience, serving as your living link between the past and present.

    Our Core Uniqueness:

    1. Systematic, Tangible History: Chronologically explore Shanghai’s eras, with the rare chance to touch and feel genuine ancient artefacts in a local antique market. You don't just see history—you touch it.

    2. Gourmet Storytelling: This is not a generic food crawl. Each curated tasting at a local eatery represents a different era or influence in Shanghai’s history, creating a delicious timeline of city evolution.

    3. The “Living Museum” Route: We bypass crowded tourist streets to explore the authentic area. Discover hidden gems like old villas, alleyways, and markets.
