Shanghai Tower, Zhujiajiao & Maglev Train private tourThis private tour pairs Shanghai's two extremes: the 1,700-year-old water town of Zhujiajiao, where you walk stone streets and ride a gondola past ancient buildings, and the ultra-modern Shanghai Tower with its observation deck 632 meters above the city.
