Sample private Shanghai itinerary
One city. Two ways to read it: through the companies making culture, and the streets where it lands.
A possible route from the Bund to Wukang Road, West Bund and Shanghai’s games scene, with xiaolongbao and an optional Bund-side fine-dining evening. Company visits are requests, never guaranteed stops. The programme is individually quoted.
Arrival + two days
Eric X.D. Tan shapes the question through two decades in games, music and technology, including leadership roles at Riot Games, Sony Music and EA.
The Shanghai host, dates, stops and visits are agreed before booking. Actual company access requires each company’s consent.
Before arrival
Begin with a business or cultural question. Then match company requests and public stops to your actual party, dates and pace.
Arrival / At your pace
Optional private transfer to your hotel from either Shanghai airport or the railway station. Vehicle, route and cost are confirmed in your quote.
If arrival time allows, walk the historic riverfront, look across to Pudong, then settle in for a first local dinner.
Day one / Games and place
Begin around Wukang and Anfu Roads: architecture, independent shops and coffee. Read the city through its street life before heading into the industry discussion.
For a games-focused brief, request a studio or publishing conversation. Riot has a Shanghai development studio; any visit and participants require Riot’s agreement.
Use a riverfront art or design stop to discuss how entertainment, public space and brands meet. Select the venue after checking exhibitions and opening days.
Choose a relaxed local table or request a Michelin-starred restaurant near the Bund. Follow it with a concert, jazz set or live house if the calendar fits. Reservations, tickets and hosting are separately quoted.
Day two / IP and perspective
Explore how game worlds become lasting entertainment IP. A studio conversation may be requested for a relevant group, subject to miHoYo’s agreement and availability.
Stop for Shanghai soup dumplings before visiting retail, exhibition or fan-culture spaces open to the public. The restaurant and cultural stop depend on your dates and the group’s interests.
Separate what was observed from what it might mean for your business. Close with questions worth following up after Shanghai.
Optional transfer to the airport or station. A Shenzhen add-on is a separately planned city programme, not an assumed day trip.
Commercial note
