Despite the high temperature and the humidity, it was breezy as I tooled around Shanghai in a vintage sidecar motorbike. A professional was doing the driving, so I was free to enjoy the kaleidoscope of colorful scenes in this Chinese city. The guide, who spoke excellent English, passed along entertaining anecdotes and tidbit of history as we explored.
Shanghai Sideways Tours, a company started by expats, has a fleet of 30 vintage sidecar motorbikes. You can book customized sightseeing trips lasting from an hour to all-day, or into the evening.? It is a novel way to see the city, and can be booked in advance by anyone visiting Shanghai.
