This tour is for the early birds among us, so consider yourself warned!
Leaving at 7:00 in the morning, Wheely takes you to one of Shanghai's parks to see the city waking up in the traditional way. In the park, you'll see people practicing different kinds of T'ai Chi, flying their kites, 'walking' their birds and brushing up on their dance routines. It's a great sight to take in — it'll almost make you forget it's really early!
From there, we'll go on to the Old Town for a local breakfast and a taste of Chinese tea, as well as a look around the traditional neighborhoods. After that, we'll visit the insect market to find out more about another favorite pastime of the retired Shanghainese.
All in all, this tour gives you a taste of the real Shanghai — definitely a side of the city you haven't seen before!

“Great way to see Shanghai on a traditional upright bike. A bit hair raising in the traffic to begin with but you learn that everyone behind is watching out for you and Daniel was fantastic at guiding us through.”
“The Wheely bike tour of Shanghai is an excellent way to see a lot in a short time, genuinely enjoy the city, and feel comfortable while doing it. From the first pedal to the last smile, Daniel, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to be around, equal parts local expert, storyteller, and good company, with just the right amount of humor. We laughed, learned, and saw Shanghai in a way a bus or taxi simply can’t show you. We can’t recommend this tour enough. Thanks, Daniel, for a ride we’ll be talking about for a long time! 🚲✨”
“Our family loved Wheely Bike Routes in Shanghai. The bikes were good and had child seats. The guide was friendly, experienced, and knowledgeable, adapting the route to our group’s interests with plenty of stops along the way. Great for adults or older riders, but the route isn’t suitable for children to ride.”
