What you'll do
No tickets required...walk through the oldest part of the city, sampling sizzling street food, observing architecture, and touring a produce market. Here you'll find uniquely Asian vegetables, live seafood, herbs, and unimaginable fermented products. We'll seek opportunities to chat with locals who are happy to answer your questions and are curious about you. Uncover the mysteries behind cricket fighting culture and all the products that go with it. Finally, wander a wholesale tea market where hotels, restaurants, and tea lovers shop, as you're introduced to Chinese tea culture. We'll sample teas based on your preference or experiences, and learn of the legends and lore associated with them.
Your host
Tracy
As an American living in China for over ten years, I design creative ways for guests to learn about Chinese culture using interaction with locals, hands on activities, or seeking places that offer a glimpse into real life. Living locally and speaking the language has given me a unique insight into the culture from both an eastern and western perspective. I enjoy taking guests off the beaten path to venues that you won't read about online!

Where you'll be
We'll be in the heart of Shanghai's original old city, an area once surrounded by a wall built during the Ming dynasty to protect the city from invaders. Today it contains the city's oldest buildings, and the colorful lifestyle of the inhabitants is easily observed in the streets, and quite traditional.
