BUSTOUR Tour of Shanghai
BUSTOUR Tour of Shanghai, put into service in May 2010, takes tourists from around the world through an international metropolis that is developing fast for an immersive experience of Shanghai’s culture. In a city that blends historical and cultural depth and bold, innovative buildings, we have carefully designed three sightseeing lines for passengers which pass by many popular tourist sites, i.e., Shanghai City Tour (Red Line), Shanghai Pudong Tour (Blue Line) and Shanghai Ancient Temple Tour (Green Line). From ancient temples to magnificent buildings and from boulevards to skyscrapers, passengers can randomly hop on and off a bus at any stop on any sightseeing route, visit buildings that blend the old and new, freely explore the history and culture of the city and take in its amazing views.
