Shang Hai Shi Trip Overview
IMPORTANT: In China, there is a GPS offset that makes your position on Google and Apple maps incorrect. This issue doesn’t affect the offline map, so if you turn off WiFi and data you’ll be able to track your position on the route.
Exploring Shanghai’s Former French Concession is a pleasure for visitors and residents alike. It’s a place set apart from the modernity of the rest of the city with tree-lined streets that inspire lingering strolls. We’ll explore the lesser-known parts of the Western concession. I’ll tell you about how the foreign concessions came to be in Shanghai and introduce you to the colourful characters that made their fortunes here, including one or two gangsters.
On this self-guided audio tour you can look forward to:
• A secret garden built for a concubine
• The site of a gruesome murder that scandalised China
• Luxury apartments with a dark history
• The biggest gang boss in Shanghai and his strange superstition
• Opium dealers and opium thieves
