你好, welcome back to Hanlong Culture Center! How do you usually spend your weekends in Shanghai? Are you always shopping in the same familiar malls or just catching up on sleep at home? Since you are already living in the vibrant city of Shanghai, isn't it a bit of a pity to stick strictly to the daily routine of "home, office, and the usual restaurant"?
Actually, hidden beneath the dense plane trees in downtown Shanghai are countless stunning century-old buildings, and behind every brick lies a fascinating historical story. To help you better integrate into the city, on Saturday, May 23, Hanlong Culture Center has prepared a fantastic offline event just for you: SHANGHAI UNCOVERED - An English-guided Old Shanghai History & Culture City Walk!
Newly arrived expats often feel a sense of distance from the city due to language barriers or cultural differences. Measuring the city with your footsteps not only allows you to witness the most beautiful and authentic vibes of Old Shanghai but also provides an excellent opportunity to make new friends and practice Chinese. Although the professional historical commentary for this walk is entirely in English, you can definitely seize the chance to happily converse in Chinese with Hanlong Culture Center's professional teachers and your new friends during the event!
