SHANGHAI

Welcome to the city of Shanghai- where imperial history and hyper-modern ambition sprint side-by-side. It’s the city where a futuristic skyline and ancient temples meet, telling stories of both yesterday and tomorrow. Go! Running Tours in Shanghai offer an unparalleled way to experience the city’s captivating layers of history, with the energizing pace of a runner. Our curated routes are designed to connect the past with the present, taking you through living monuments that give you a feeling of Shanghai’s transformation from a walled ancient old town to a global metropolis.

Most of our tours will pass through several famous attractions in Shanghai. You’ll pass by The Bund, a breathtaking stretch of grand neoclassical and art deco buildings. This is not just a pretty skyline; it was bunch of powerful historical buildings once housed numerous banks and trading houses from the west, turning Shanghai into the “Paris of the East” and a hub of international trade.

We’ll weave through the charming, tree-shaded streets of the French Concession. Unlike the modern skylines of The Bund, this area exudes a quieter, romantic ambiance. It used to be the French-administered district for nearly a century. Today, its legacy remains in the beautiful European-style villas, hidden lane houses and leafy avenues that now house chic boutiques and cafes, offering a sense of its cosmopolitan vibe.

For a glimpse into older, indigenous Shanghai, our tours navigate the restored traditional architecture of Yuyuan Garden & the Old City. The exquisite Yuyuan is a classical Chinese landscape masterpiece that created in the 16th century during the Ming Dynasty. The surrounding old city streets, now buzz with market energy, offering a stark and fascinating contrast to the other districts of the city.

We’ll also experience a masterclass in historical preservation at Xintiandi. This stylish pedestrian district is built from the restored shikumen (“stone gate”) houses, a unique architectural hybrid of Eastern and Western styles that flourished in late 19th and early 20th-century Shanghai. By transforming these old residential lane houses into a vibrant hub of restaurants and shops, Xintiandi doesn’t just showcase history—it actively revitalizes it, demonstrating how the city’s heritage is being repurposed for modern life.
