SHANGHAI · CITY WALKS

Nanxiang gardens and old town

Guyi Garden, old lanes, Yunxiang Temple and a smaller garden to finish.

Walking about 3.0 km · 5–6 hours · Walking · Suggested 10:30 start

Give Guyi Garden enough time before moving to Nanxiang Old Street. Try xiaolongbao, but do not let a queue consume the entire walk. Yunxiang Temple and Tan Garden are within walking range for a quieter second half.
