Greet your guide at a pre-arranged location in Shanghai and set out to explore the historical highlights of the Jewish Ghetto. Listen as your guide shares intimate knowledge of the area and weave your way through the winding streets of the historical enclave. First, head to the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum, constructed on the site of the Ohel Moishe Synagogue, a place that attracted refugees during turbulent times.
Learn about the significance of the sanctuary then venture to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to hear about the help offered to refugees by the center. Absorb the verdant beauty of the Huoshan Park and enjoy a moment of reflection at the monument that memorializes Jewish immigrants.
Next, immerse yourself in the authentic ambience of a local neighborhood to meet its inhabitants; learn about daily life and traditional customs then venture the thriving center to see local craft shops, fresh seafood stalls and rustic restaurants. Conclude your tour with a visit to the sacred Xiahai Temple, a remote location off the tourist trail; learn about the significance of this Buddhist temple then bid your guide and group goodbye at the end of your tour.
