What you'll see and do
Lujiazui
We’ll meet in Lujiazui, the iconic location of the modern urban side of Shanghai, and take a short city walk in the international financial center of China to see the most modern streetscape in this country. You'll see Shanghai's landmark buildings: Oriental Pearl Tower, and three of Shanghai's tallest buildings: Jinmao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, Shanghai Tower(also the second highest in the world).
50 minutes here
“Top of Shanghai” Observatory: we will go up the Shanghai Tower, the second tallest building in the world and the first tallest building in Asia, and have a 360° view of the city from its top observation deck by taking the fastest elevator in the world. We’ll reach the 118th floor within 1 minute! At an altitude of more than 500 meters, we will have a stunning view of Shanghai in the air: the just-passed Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai CBD, the beautiful Huangpu River, the Bund, the historic Yu Garden, the Taoist(the one and only native religion in China) temple, the living area of the Shanghai people... You can enjoy a cup of coffee high in the sky (optional, not included in the ticket) or choose to observe the details of the city with a coin-operated telescope... Don't forget to capture this unforgettable experience on your camera!
60 minutes here · Admission included
Coming down from the top of Shanghai, we will enjoy a delicious, local-loved meal of Shanghai-style dumplings - souped or fried(depends on the situation on the ground that day). After the dumplings we'll move to another restaurant for a handmade Chinese ramen in beef soup.
80 minutes here · Admission included
We are going to cross the Huangpu River in a way that is not common here - not by subway, not by car, but by ferry! The ferry port spans the most central part of the river (also the same with the best part of a cruise ship) in Shanghai, and we will have a chance to see the view of both the tall-modern Lujiazui and the grand-historical Bund on the river.
30 minutes here · Admission included
The Bund (Wai Tan)
After ferry, we’ll reach another highlight of this tour: the Bund and the International Architectural Exposition. Since the end of the 19th century(the late Qing Dynasty), this area became an imperialist concession, gathering consulates of various countries and major financial institutions, and was once the political, financial and cultural center of various powers in Shanghai. In addition to historical significance, the buildings here are also designed and built in different architectural styles and have high artistic value. It is a place where history and present intersect, where West and East merge. Standing by the Huangpu River, you are at the perfect intersection of the modern, towering east bank and the historic, grand west Bank.
60 minutes here
From the Bund, we will reach one of the most famous pedestrian streets in China - Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street. Here we will see some interesting shops of Chinese old brands(such as China's most famous scissors brands, traditional style gold shops, large food emporiums - all free to visit, you don't have to buy anything unless you want to), as well as the most popular/fashion products in Shanghai right now. On the way we will get a cup of coffee or tea, or the very popular milk tea (bubble tea) to hold in our hands, and we will taste snacks of Shanghai's favorite brands (or local fruits), all at no extra cost to you. We will also have dinner in this street.
90 minutes here
People’s Square
After a fulfilling day trip, we will enjoy an authentic hot pot for dinner near the People’s Square. We will try some regular but "very Chinese" food, such as hot pot style beef or lamb, tofu (but it may be very different from the tofu as you know it), lotus root, winter melon (a Chinese vegetable), bamboo shoots, unique Chinese green leafy vegetables and handmade belt-shape noodles. Also, the amazing "special ingredients"(if you like), such as duck blood, chicken feet, pig brains and etc. Our tour ends at dinner(dinner included), but your night is just beginning! After a satisfying dinner, take a walk back to the Bund, enjoy the fantastic night scenery on East Nanjing Road and both sides of the Huangpu River. It will take this amazing day to another level!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Highlights of Central Shanghai with TWO Authentic Chinese Meals: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Shanghai.
How much does Highlights of Central Shanghai with TWO Authentic Chinese Meals cost?
+
Prices start at $239 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Shanghai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Highlights of Central Shanghai with TWO Authentic Chinese Meals take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Shanghai is not rushed.
Is Highlights of Central Shanghai with TWO Authentic Chinese Meals worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Shanghai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Highlights of Central Shanghai with TWO Authentic Chinese Meals?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Highlights of Central Shanghai with TWO Authentic Chinese Meals suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Highlights of Central Shanghai with TWO Authentic Chinese Meals?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Shanghai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Shanghai and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Highlights of Central Shanghai with TWO Authentic Chinese Meals start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Shanghai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Shanghai?
+
On Outty we rank every Shanghai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Shanghai Full Day City Tour with Old and New Highlights, Full-Day Private Guided Tour of Shanghai, Shanghai City Guided Walking Tour | China's 1st and Best Rated. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Shanghai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Shanghai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+

Where is the meeting point for Highlights of Central Shanghai with TWO Authentic Chinese Meals?
+

+
