Discover Shanghai on two wheels! This 3-hour guided biking tour lets you experience the city up close and personal at a relaxed pace. Choose from two exciting routes: the modern Huangpu River Waterfront Trail with stunning Pudong skyline views, or the historic French Concession & Shikumen ride through tree-lined streets and charming alleyways.

Bikes, helmets, and a knowledgeable English-speaking guide are all included. Suitable for ages 12-75 with basic biking skills.

Discover Shanghai like a local on this 3-hour biking adventure through the city's most fascinating neighborhoods. Cycling is the perfect way to explore Shanghai — you'll cover more ground than walking while staying close enough to feel the city's energy, smell the street food, and discover hidden lanes that cars can't access.

Starting from the iconic Bund, you'll ride through the historic French Concession with its tree-lined avenues and Art Deco villas, explore the narrow alleyways (lòngtáng) of the Old City, and pedal along the Huangpu River. Your guide leads the way on a carefully planned route that avoids major roads and takes you through the most scenic and authentic parts of Shanghai. Bikes, helmets, and bottled water are all provided.
