What better way to explore this great city than by having an indigenous inhabitant tell you stories about the history and evolution of this great city!I am a local Shanghainese resident who was born here and has lived here all my life. I will meet you at Exit 1 of East Nanjing Road Station (Lines 2 and 10), then head to the famous Bund Promenade. You will not only hear about the history of the Wall Street of Asia in the 1930s but also some insightful or interesting little anecdotes. After the Bund, we will visit the old town, a bustling local area by an ancient Chinese garden (Yuyuan) with a history of 400 years. You will see the stylish Chinese pavilion and authentic old architecture.
