Step by Step
A tour of Shanghai's Jewish ghetto will allow you to experience the city from a very different perspective and enrich your knowledge of the history of those who live there. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and you will be accompanied by an expert local guide, who will immerse you in the Jewish history of Shanghai.
As this is a private tour, although the guide will have designed a complete itinerary, you have the option to customise the tour according to your interests. The main focus is on the heart of the city's ancient Jewish quarter, which will tell you the story of the Jewish population over time.
You will stroll through the winding streets of the Jewish ghetto listening to the live commentary of your guide. There will be plenty of time to stop by the main points of interest in the area:
- The Shanghai Jewish Refugee Museum, the site of the former Ohel Moishe Synagogue, a place of refuge for many Jews in turbulent times.
- The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
- Huoshan Park and its monument commemorating Jewish immigrants, an ideal place for reflection
- The Holy Temple of Siahai, off the beaten tourist track
When you immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of this local neighbourhood, you can meet the locals, learn about daily life and traditional customs. It will be the perfect time to visit the small local handicraft shops, fresh seafood stalls and some rustic restaurants.
