Shanghai has so much more to offer beyond the typical tourist trail. These niche tours are designed for travellers who want to go deeper — whether you're passionate about food, history, nature, or culture.
Shanghai is a city best experienced through its culture — not just observing it, but participating in it. The The Bund is a starting point, but the real richness comes from meeting the artisans, tasting the traditions, and understanding the stories behind the landmarks. That's what niche travel is about in Shanghai: connecting with the city on its own terms.
I've been guiding special-interest travellers through Shanghai for years — covering everything from modern, food, shopping experiences. Every traveller arrives with different curiosities, and that's what makes niche tours so rewarding. You might spend the morning with a street food vendor and the afternoon exploring something completely different. The thread that ties it together is your curiosity — and my knowledge of how to satisfy it.
Discover the cutting edge — architecture, tech, and contemporary culture.
From street food crawls to cooking classes — for travellers who eat to explore.
Markets, workshops, and artisan goods — find something unique to take home.
Traditional arts, local crafts, tea ceremonies, and hands-on cultural experiences.

Peng planned our entire two-week honeymoon across China. She found us a guide in Xi'an who brought the Terracotta Warriors to life in a way I'll never forget. Every detail was handled — train tickets, restaurant reservations, even a bouquet waiting at our hotel in Shanghai.

My 72-year-old mother came with us to China and Peng made sure every step was comfortable. She picked hotels with elevators, planned rest breaks between attractions, and even found a clinic when Mom needed her blood pressure checked. Worth every penny.
