China Isn’t What it Used to Be

I recently saw a travel site describe what tourists can expect and things to do in China and felt I just had to respond. They pointed out (correctly) that China offers a range of "main attractions" such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors, acrobats, shopping, pandas, ancient instrumental music and Chinese opera, food and a diverse landscape. Of course, this is all true and are all wonderful experiences to enjoy and learn about the history and culture of China. But we at Jenny's Shanghai Tours believe China is so much more!

We encourage you to explore these historic sites, but also take time to appreciate our modern China and Shanghai is by far the best place to experience this. From the world's second tallest building (Shanghai Tower) to our 400kph Maglev to modern art, Shanghai provides a wealth of understanding about the current and even future direction not just of Shanghai, but China overall.  With over 450 international companies Asian headquarters in China it's also a metropolitan hub of east meets west that adds unique cuisine, showcases for innovation from the world's largest Starbucks to automated robotic coffee shops. 

When planning your visit to China, let Jenny design a tour for you that provides a full exploration of our history, culture and even future that matches your interests. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Why are we in Beta?

We're expanding to Jenny's China Tours!

We're adding new guides and tours!

Our network of guides have grown to new friends (all certified English speaking guides of course) in Xian, Chengdu and Guilin. We're adding new tours and working through amazing itineraries and experiences.

Some bugs still? We hope not many!

We're a small team, so don't have a BIG IT budget, but doing our best to create a great website that matches our amazing guides. But we know there may be some bugs still that we're working through. We appreciate your patience!

The need for speed :)

We know a fast website is really important and we're not super happy with the current speed... but working on it!

Shopping Cart Upgrade

We're also working on the shopping cart to ensure a smooth experience and allow our visitors to have an account that you can come back to see status, download your itinerary, cancel if needed, etc.

Jenny's Shanghai Tours??

We'll still have our original website: www.jennysshanghaitours.com working while we transition. We'll see what happens to that after we're all done :)
