Detailed itinerary

You will be picked up at your centrally located hotel in Shanghai and then brought to watch an amazing acrobatic show to start off your 4 hour tour. The acrobatic show is a combination of traditional Chinese acrobatic arts and modern technology. Just like Shanghai, It evolves through a constant collision between the past and future.

After the show, you will explore Shanghai’s metropolis and start your fun nightclub journey. You will be taken up to 3 different bars which each of them have their reputations and highlights depend on your preferences.

In the French Concession, there is a new party venue, popular for its lively nightlife, hipster bars, casual cafes and restaurants. Some of the locals call the place "the center of the universe", obviously as "the new party-central” in Shanghai. You will pick one of them to enjoy the great atmosphere.

You will have the chance to experience Shanghai's new breeds of "Speakeasy" bars. The name of the bar will not be mentioned as it is supposed to be "Speakeasy", you will find out once you arrive. The origins of "Speakeasy" can trace back to the 1920's. Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly, the invention of bubble gum occurred, and many other exciting events and happenings made headlines. However, after a certain law was set into place, a rebellion began, one that was dark and devious. What was used to bring crimes rates down resulted, ironically, in the sky rocketing of gang activity and other criminal offenses. This was the prohibition of alcohol in the United States and Canada, commonly referred to as Prohibition. People were not willing to accept these terms, and so the birth of "speakeasy" came forth.

Speakeasies were hidden sections of an establishment that were used to illegally sell alcoholic verges during Prohibition. Some speakeasies were similar to today's clubs, as there was singing and jazz performances. To enter a speakeasy, one would need to say a password to the door person so they would know whether or not they were really secret agents. Nowadays, there are several speakeasies on Shanghai interstates, the fun of the mysterious.

Last, you will go to a dancing club. You can dance your life away in the modern techno tune. They are carefully selected by an experienced tour guide, who is also a night crawler, just to ensure that you will have the most impressive night in Shanghai.
