French Concession Free Walking Tour
Overview of the tour in Shanghai
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, born here, and have lived here all my life.
The French Concession is the area of Shanghai that the French government administered from 1849 until 1946. The area's tree-lined avenues and many fine old houses still retain an air of the “Paris of the East.” In particular, the many wrought iron fences and stair railings will look familiar to anyone who knows Paris. Highlights of the Tour:
Middle Huaihai Road
The Former French Club
1920's Old Neighborhood
Shanghai Culture Square
Sinan Mansions
Former French Park
Xingtiandi
First Communist Congress Site
