Free walks of Shanghai during tourism festival

Locals and tourists will not have to pay for walking tours of the city during the Shanghai Tourism Festival from September 14 to October 6.

The tours are popular because it helps to discover the charm and culture of the city on foot. The Shanghai Tourism Administration has six walking tours in five districts — Huangpu, Jing'an, Changning, Hongkou and Xuhui.

Among the fascinating sights on the tours are the Suzhou Creek, the old communities, and buildings of legendary architect Laszlo Hudec and novelist Eileen Chang. Participants can find more details of the free walking tours on we.54traveler.com or call 400-054-8066.
