行程快速浏览
以下为建议行程，我们乐意根据您的兴趣与需求灵活调整。
您的私人导游将在浦东或虹桥机场到达大厅（或火车站出口）迎接您。一辆舒适的私人汽车（非吸烟）由经验丰富的司机驾驶，将直接送您到酒店，导游将协助您办理入住手续。傍晚若您精力充沛，导游可带您步行至南京路步行街，感受“中华商业第一街”的霓虹夜色。
在酒店大堂与导游会合，驱车前往外滩。沿着1.5公里的滨江步道漫步，欣赏黄浦江西岸52幢风格各异的“万国建筑群”——哥特式、巴洛克式、新古典主义一一呈现。导游会为您讲述这些建筑背后银行家、冒险家和殖民者的传奇故事。
随后穿过老城厢，进入豫园。这座明代私家园林建于1559年，占地2公顷。除了欣赏玉玲珑、三穗堂等经典景观，导游还会带您离开主游线，探索园主潘允端为父母祝寿而建的隐秘庭院，关于“孝道”的故事会让园林变得鲜活起来。
午餐后，走进城隍庙小吃广场，品尝南翔小笼包——在百年老店排队等候一笼蟹粉汤包，是大多数游客的亮点。下午，乘坐世界最快电梯（每秒18米）登上上海中心118层“上海之巅”观景台，在562米高空俯瞰整座城市，黄浦江蜿蜒如带，摩天楼群尽收眼底。
晚餐在外滩附近一家拥有江景露台的餐厅享用，一边品尝本帮菜（红烧肉、草头圈子），一边欣赏外滩华灯初上的璀璨夜景。
上午参观上海博物馆（人民广场馆）。这座“天圆地方”造型的建筑内藏有超过100万件文物。除了青铜器、陶瓷和书画三大镇馆之宝，导游会带您特别留意大克鼎和晋侯苏钟，它们的出土故事堪比考古小说。
导游会帮您处理行李和接送，并陪同您到机场或火车站正确的值机柜台出发。
备选方案：如果您还有上海一晚，或晚上离开上海，乘黄浦江渡轮夜游可能是令人难忘的活动——尤其是傍晚时分，两岸灯火初上，景色堪比维港与芝加哥。
