Shanghai
A self-guided audio walking tour of Shanghai.
Shanghai is most itself at the edge of the Huangpu, where the old facades of the Bund face the towers of Pudong and the city's ambition becomes impossible to miss. Away from that view it is a series of neighbourhoods with their own texture, from the leafy lanes of the former French Concession to the older, denser districts further north. It moves fast, but rewards the slow walk that finds the quieter city underneath. In the app, 90 stops in Shanghai are narrated aloud, about 2h 33m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
