Tours of the City Walking Tours There are no organised walking tours available in Shanghai. However, the French Concession and the Bund are perhaps the best areas for tourist to explore on foot, seeing as they are compact and possess great character. Many of Shanghai’s residents strolls along the Bund at weekends, while the parks of the French Concession are pleasant refuges. Bus Tours Jinjiang Shanghai Tour (tel: (21) 6270 1667) operates a hop-on hop-off bus service that departs from outside the Garden Hotel on Maoming Nan Lu every 45 minutes Monday-Friday 0900-1715, Saturday and Sunday 0845-1745, arriving at each stop every half an hour. For RMB18 (tickets are available on the bus), the tour takes in Pudong, Yuyyan Gardens, the Bund and Renmin Square, returning to the Jinjiang Hotel. There are multi-lingual commentaries available.
