Dvir Bar-Gal offers highly entertaining and informative walking tours of Jewish Shanghai. You will see a side of Shanghai that most people don’t know exists.

    I found that Dvir Bar-Gal gave me the best guided tour I had in Shanghai during my visit there. First considering the material he covered gave me an in-depth knowledge of the Jewish History in Shanghai and how it developed. We were able to see first hand the living conditions Jews endured in the Shanghai Ghetto during WWII and the actual temple they prayed in. What I most admired about Dvir Bar-Gal is his devotion in educating people from around the world about the Jews of Shanghai and how desperately needed is a memorial in their honor. Divir Bar-Gal I believe is the one to make this dream a reality. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Shanghai, China.
