Start the day the Shanghai way

You can learn a lot about a destination through its food, and Shanghai’s famed breakfast culture certainly offers a fascinating window into the life of this thriving metropolis.

Asian Trails’ latest culinary adventure brings the city’s foodie heritage to life, taking guests to local eateries, street vendors and neighbourhoods that give Shanghai its distinctive character.

There are opportunities to sample a selection of local favourites, from steaming soup dumplings and crispy buns to freshly made savoury scallion pancakes.

A hands-on soup dumpling-making activity enables participants to learn how these delicate parcels are prepared. After sampling the dumplings, a refreshing mango dessert is served.

Between city-wide tastings, guests explore iconic landmarks, including Nanjing Road and People’s Square, while an expert guide shares fascinating stories about these locations and their role in Shanghai’s history.

For those who prefer a later outing, a dinner-themed excursion can also be arranged on request.
