After breakfast, head to Lujiazui in Pudong to visit the Oriental Pearl Tower, including access to the 259-meter-high glass observation deck (approx. 90 mins). Overlooking the Huangpu River, the tower offers stunning views of Shanghai’s modern skyline and the historic architecture of the Bund. Then, explore the Shanghai Urban History Exhibition Hall for a journey through the city’s past, present, and future. Enjoy a complimentary Oriental Pearl Tower buffet lunch. Kind Reminder: During peak seasons or holidays like National Day, buffet lunch may be served in shifts due to crowd limits. If the group cannot be scheduled for the buffet, we will substitute it with a university cafeteria lunch. No refund is available for this change—thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Next, visit Fudan University, one of China’s most prestigious institutions (approx. 60 mins). This educational tour allows children to experience the campus atmosphere and learn about the university's history and achievements. Parents are encouraged to engage their children in observation and discussion throughout the visit. Note: If campus access to Fudan is restricted due to policy, we will substitute with a visit to Shanghai Jiao Tong University or East China Normal University.
Continue to The Bund, the iconic waterfront promenade known for its colonial-era architecture and views of the modern skyline. Then, enjoy some free time at Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, a famous commercial zone with countless shops and boutiques. Optional Evening Activity (self-paid): Take a Huangpu River Cruise (approx. 60 mins; RMB 160/person including guide & transportation). The cruise offers a stunning contrast of old and new Shanghai—one side features classic international architecture, while the other showcases glittering skyscrapers. A must-do to fully appreciate the city’s charm.
