"Historic Shanghai’s tours and events are the closest you’llcan cometo traveling back in time to Shanghai’s golden age. The group was founded by longtime Shanghairesidents Tess Johnston, Tina Kanagaratnam, and Patrick Cranley. They host myriad cultural events—author talks, lectures, screenings—as well as tours of Shanghai’s historic sites and neighborhoods. All three owners are architecture buffs, and together they have an encyclopedic knowledge of Shanghai’s Western architecture, past and present. Tours and walks run a couple of times per month, covering topics like Americans in Old Shanghai, Old Shanghai's nightclubs, and the regeneration of Yangpu District."
