1. At the appointed time this morning, your private guide and driver will meet you at your own booked hotel. You will be guided to visit the former Tilanqiao Jewish Isolation Region first, also named Shanghai Ark Area, meaning the city protected nearly 20,000 Jewish refugees from Europe and erected a "Noah's Ark" for them. This trip will introduce the Jewish dwelling district before and during World War II (1939 - 1945).

2. We will first visit the Jewish Refugees Museum, the most important part of the Tilanqiao area. As an old site of the Jewish synagogue, it has now been transformed into a museum to commemorate the history of over 20,000 Jewish refugees in Shanghai during World War II. The Museum’s exhibition hall is divided into six parts. Up to 161 notable events during the Jewish’s stay are displayed with around 1,000 exhibits and historical materials.

3. The next destination will be Huoshan Park. With an area of only 3,700 square meters (0.91 acre), Huoshan Park was built for foreign children and later became the backyard of the Jewish community for rest and recreation. Nowadays, you can still see the former Jewish refugee shelters inside.

4. In the afternoon, we will continue our Shanghai Jewish Tour to the Shanghai Children's Palace. The main building was used to be a villa built by a British Jewish businessman.

5. After that, we will have a chance to appreciate the gorgeous Hengshan Moller Villa built by a British Jewish businessman in 1936. With Norse style, it is very unique in Shanghai city. When you are there, you could almost feel the presence of history in every part of the building.

6. The last visit of the day will be the Fairmont Peace Hotel. With around 100 years history, the Fairmont Peace Hotel enjoys rich heritage and has been one of the most famous landmarks in Shanghai.
