Shanghai Sightseeing Bus
The Shanghai sightseeing bus is a strong recommendation for travelers who desire a one-day or two-day city tour. Passengers who have a few hours layover in the city can also take the sightseeing bus hop-on hop-off Shanghai to enjoy a short visit. There are two types of open-top sightseeing double-deckers: City Sightseeing Bus with four loop lines operated by Spring Tour Bus Company, and Shanghai Bus Tours, formerly the Big Bus Tours, with three lines.
With 24-hour and 48-hour tickets, both allow unlimited rides during the validity period of your ticket. Tourists can enjoy a free audio guide on Shanghai sightseeing buses in eight languages – Chinese, English, Korean, French, Spanish, German, Russian, and Japanese.
