Share this news:

-- As inbound tourism continues to boom during the 2026 “Shanghai Summer” International Consumption Season, Shanghai Pass, an all-in-one travel card designed specifically for international visitors, has become an essential travel tool for overseas travelers. Integrating urban transportation, scenic sightseeing and merchant discounts into one single solution, it effectively solves common travel difficulties faced by foreign tourists, including complicated local payment procedures, scattered attraction reservations and inconvenient public transport top-ups. Beyond practical functions, Shanghai Pass offers a variety of unique limited editions with great collectible value, making travel in Shanghai more convenient and enjoyable.

Shanghai Pass covers the full range of public transportation across the city, including metro lines, city buses, Huangpu River ferries, suburban railways, Jinshan Railway and Maglev trains. It also supports taxi payments, allowing travelers to move freely throughout Shanghai with one card. Cardholders are eligible for standard public transport transfer discounts, as well as an exclusive 20% discount on Maglev fares, greatly reducing overall travel expenses. Equipped with a multilingual interface, the card enables international visitors to top up and use transportation services easily without a local Chinese account.

To accommodate diverse travel plans, Shanghai Pass offers flexible ticket packages. The One-Day Pass is perfect for travelers who wish to explore Shanghai’s most iconic scenery within a short period. It allows visitors to experience three classic Bund highlights, including open-top double-decker sightseeing buses, Huangpu River cruises and Yuyuan Garden. Travelers can also stroll around East Nanjing Road and Lujiazui to discover the city’s most famous landmarks. Exclusive merchant discounts are available for dining, cultural retail and souvenirs in surrounding tourist areas, allowing visitors to enjoy affordable sightseeing and shopping.

For history, culture and art enthusiasts, the Cultural Heritage Joint Ticket provides unified reservation and admission to Shanghai’s museums, art galleries and historic sites. Travelers no longer need to book tickets separately for each venue, enabling an efficient and in-depth cultural experience.

Beyond travel convenience, Shanghai Pass delivers outstanding collectible and gifting value. In addition to regular styles, creative plush and special-shaped limited editions are available with unique, eye-catching designs. They serve as exquisite travel keepsakes and ideal souvenirs for overseas family and friends.

Shanghai Pass also unlocks exclusive privileges at nearly 150 premium merchants across Shanghai’s core business areas, covering popular destinations such as East Nanjing Road and the Bund, Xujiahui, and Zhujiajiao. Discounts apply to casual dining, hotel accommodation, cultural products and travel souvenirs, helping visitors reduce travel costs and enhance their overall travel experience.

Combining convenient transportation, high-quality sightseeing, diverse shopping benefits and unique collectible value, Shanghai Pass helps international travelers explore Shanghai effortlessly and immersively during the summer travel season.
