Shanghai: Hidden Lanes, Local Life & Chinese Tea Experience

Most Shanghai tours take you to the Bund or Yu Garden. This one takes you down a street where locals actually live. Discover a quieter, more personal side of Shanghai on a small-group walking tour through the historic Xinhua Road neighborhood. This experience concludes at a local tea house, where you will be introduced to the history of Chinese tea and the six major tea families (green, white, yellow, oolong, red, and dark tea). Discover the tools used for brewing, learn how to prepare tea in a local way, and practice pouring and tasting tea with guidance from your host. Combining urban history, architecture, community culture, and hands-on tea preparation, this experience offers a relaxed and engaging way to discover Shanghai beyond the usual tourist trail.
