Unlock these layers through this self-guided audio tour designed to bypass the tourist crowds. Unearth the forgotten narratives and raw scandals pulsing under the pavement of the Huangpu District. Why did a single house party in a hidden alleyway change the course of history forever? What dark pacts were sealed within the walls of the Yu Garden tea house? How did a collection of stolen artifacts narrowly escape the chaotic destruction of an uprising? Trace the arc of history from silent relics to grand political battles. Traverse the city with newfound eyes as every corner reveals a deeper, more turbulent truth. Put on your headphones and begin your journey now.
