Roamray
城Shanghai & Culture · 6 days

Six days that aren't tourism.

Half the program is city. We treat Shanghai as a research subject: skyline as architecture, museum as text, food court as field. Always with a Roamray lead in the room.

A taste of Shanghai

Xiaolongbao, pan-fried buns, hairy crab, red-braised pork — the city's classics, eaten where locals eat.

/ City as text

We encourage free exploration.

We'll take you to see Shanghai's landmark buildings. With the rest of the time, we encourage you to explore the city on your own — the steam and bustle of a Xuhui side street at dawn, the old-Shanghai nightlife of Huangpu, or the university quarter at Wujiaochang, where you can take in the easy, full rhythm of Chinese student life.

After the trip, we'll open up the film collection and photo album to share with everyone.
