From your hotel, set off with your guide on this half-day historical tour that delves into Shanghai’s fascinating Jewish heritage. Head to the Jewish Refugees Museum founded on the site of the former Ohel Moshe Synagogue. Built by Russian Jews at the beginning of the 20th century, this synagogue lies at the heart of the 1940s Jewish ghetto.

The museum commemorates Jewish refugees who lived in Shanghai after fleeing Europe to escape the Holocaust during the Second World War. While the downstairs area remains a place of worship, the upper floors are devoted to exhibition space and a screening area that runs films about the Jewish experience in Shanghai. View artefacts that are not only dedicated to the refugees but also to the Chinese who took these people in. Wander through an array of exhibits documenting the lives of the immigrants who fled to the city.

After leaving the museum, spend some time exploring the surrounding area and other famous landmarks, including the Moller Villa and the Fairmont Peace Hotel before returning to the hotel.
