Explore Tongli’s peaceful stone bridges, narrow lanes and traditional riverside homes, and enjoy a relaxing rowing boat ride through its scenic waterways.

Return to Shanghai in the late afternoon for a guided North Bund City Walk, where you’ll discover hidden photo spots, historic warehouses and impressive riverside views.
