Former French Concession: Art Deco Lanes & Table at a Michelin Bistro

Shanghai's most seductive neighborhood — leafy plane-tree avenues, 1920s art deco villas, and a world-class dining scene — comes alive on a private walking tour through the Former French Concession, capped with a reserved table at a celebrated Michelin-recognized restaurant.

What to expect

Stroll Wukang Road, named one of the world's great urban streets, past the Normandie Building and celebrity villas converted into boutique concept stores. Duck into Tianzifang's labyrinthe of shikumen alleyways for artisan chocolatiers and independent galleries. Your guide reserves a coveted lunch table at a Xintiandi-area Michelin-listed restaurant for signature Shanghainese red-braised pork and crab roe tofu.

Booking
We have not yet verified a bookable operator and price for this one.

Good to know

The French Concession is ~45 minutes from Wusongkou by private car or Metro Line 6 + Line 1. Request lunch reservation details when booking your guide — top tables need 2–3 weeks' notice. Tianzifang is best explored before noon; afternoons get crowded.
