French Concession Tour 

Your adventure begins at Exit 6 of Xintiandi Metro Station, where we will proceed to Sun Yat-sen's former residence, regarded as the founding father of modern China.

For approximately 1 hour, we will immerse ourselves in the rooms of this house-museum, which retains original furniture and documents detailing how Sun Yat-sen played a crucial role in dismantling the feudal monarchy and establishing the first republic.

Next, our journey takes us to the official founding site of the Chinese Communist Party, discreetly located within the winding alleys of the French Concession. Inside, we will discover newspapers and photographs of the individuals who, despite threats from the Kuomintang, committed themselves to safeguarding the populace.

The tour will conclude at the memorial hall of the First National Congress of the CCP, where we will reflect on the pivotal 1921 meeting. Thirteen delegates participated: seven defected, four faced execution, and only two lived to see the establishment of New China. This meeting significantly impacted the nation’s trajectory!
