With most businesses and all schools remaining closed during the COVID-19 outbreak, the majority of folks have been
staying indoors to keep themselves occupied by streaming
movies,
exercising and the like. Now you can add online city tours to the list of things you can do while waiting out the virus.
The Shanghai Culture and Tourism Administration recently announced its latest project, which aims to let people enjoy Shanghai's rich architectural and cultural history from the comfort of their own home. Several districts are offering various online tours showcasing their historical buildings – Jingan's Moller Villa, Xuhui's Historical Conservation Zone and much more, totaling several hundred buildings to view, along with blurbs on each building's history.
