Arrive Shanghai Pudong. Meet your English-speaking licensed guide; private coach into the city.
Check in at Gubei. Novotel Hongqiao Gubei. The afternoon is yours.
New Year’s Eve on the Bund. The whole Pudong skyline used as one light show across the water.
The New Year parade on the Bund, and the Yu Yuan lantern festival.
Good to know
The evening of 31 December is at leisure and is not included. Crowd control applies on the waterfront — your guide briefs the group on arrival.
Day 2
Thu 01 January
The first full day
1
Yu Yuan Gardens 豫园
Laid out in 1559 — rockeries, koi ponds and tea houses, with a bazaar lit end to end outside.
2
Oriental Pearl Tower 东方明珠
Ticket included. Ride the 468-metre icon and walk out onto the glass floor.
3
River cruise, then Nanjing Road 南京路
The Bund on one bank and Pudong on the other, then kilometres of neon and food.
On the Bund with the Pearl Tower, and out on the river cruise.
Dinner tonight is on us
A complimentary halal dinner at Khan Baba Restaurant, already inside your package price.
Day 3
Fri 02 January
Shanghai Disneyland
Breakfast, a private transfer, then the whole day inside the park — the tallest Disney castle anywhere, TRON Lightcycle Power Run, and a Zootopia land found in no other Disney park. Tickets handed over at the gate; halal options inside. The park closes on a fireworks show, then a private transfer back.
The fireworks finale over the castle — and our travellers in the park.
Before you go in
The park is effectively cashless. Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay before you travel, or carry a card that works in China.
Day 4
Sat 03 January
A free day
Zhujiajiao water town. An hour out — canals a thousand years old, stone bridges and wooden boats.
Shanghai Tower deck. The 118th floor of the second-tallest building in the world — go before sunset.
Shopping and the old lanes. Nanjing Road for brands, AP Plaza for everything else, Tianzifang for tea rooms.
Zhujiajiao water town — thousand-year-old canals, stone bridges and wooden boats.
If you want help on the free day
Your guide and a private vehicle can be arranged for the day at extra cost. Tell your tour manager before departure.

Homeward
Breakfast and check out. Your guide confirms the group is complete before you leave.

Shanghai to Lahore on China Southern or similar — your tour manager stays with the group through Lahore immigration.
Last of Shanghai — the Tower deck and Nanjing Road.
