The experience

The evening starts with hotel pickup in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Your guide takes you to a trendy Thai restaurant in the French Concession, where you order from a set menu of dishes like Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, papaya salad and yellow curry. Vegetarian options are available if you request them when booking. The meal sets the pace for the night without rushing. You eat at your own speed before heading to the river.

After dinner, the driver transfers you to the Bund for the Huangpu River cruise. VIP seating puts you on the water as the city's landmarks glow against the dark sky: Shanghai Tower, Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center and the Peace Hotel all appear as you drift past. The cruise lasts an hour. When it ends, your guide brings you back to your hotel, completing the loop.
