Shanghai Jewish Ghetto Tour: Walking Through a Forgotten Chapter of History

Central Shanghai Hotel or Preferred Location

After your booking is confirmed, we'll be in touch to finalize your pickup time. Your guide and driver meet you at your hotel or any preferred location in central Shanghai. Settle into your private, air-conditioned vehicle as we head toward the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum.

Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum

Your guide brings the museum's exhibits to life, sharing stories of the 20,000 Jewish refugees who found shelter here during WWII. Walk through the restored synagogue and exhibition halls where personal testimonies and historical artifacts tell a remarkable story of survival and community.

Tilanqiao Historical District

Wander through the atmospheric lanes of Tilanqiao, where Jewish refugees once lived alongside local Chinese families. Your guide points out the old synagogue streets, shikumen buildings, and hidden corners where two cultures intertwined during one of history's most remarkable chapters.

Baima Café

Lunch is not included in the tour price, so you keep full flexibility. Your guide can recommend Baima Café, a charming neighborhood spot tucked into a century-old lane — the kind of place only locals know about. Enjoy a coffee or light meal while soaking in the authentic atmosphere.

Zhoushan Road Historical District

Explore Zhoushan Road's beautifully preserved shikumen buildings, where traditional Shanghai lane houses tell stories of the city's multicultural past. Your guide shows you architectural details and hidden courtyards that most visitors never see.

Xiahai Temple

Step into Xiahai Temple, a quiet Buddhist sanctuary tucked between modern buildings. Your guide shares the story of how this temple survived decades of change, and you learn why locals still come to pray and light incense today.

Central Shanghai Hotel or Preferred Location

Your driver takes you back to your hotel or preferred drop-off point in central Shanghai. Sit back and relax as you reflect on the stories and places you discovered throughout the day.
