Propaganda Discovery Walking Tour

Interspersed amongst the incredible skyscraper clusters of Shanghai, you will find propaganda ever-present. In this ultra-modern city, it is one of the few things to remind us that we’re in the most powerful communist country in the world. Propaganda remains ever-present, yet mysterious. What role exactly does propaganda play in the new China?

Walk with us, on a journey of discovery, on our Propaganda Tour. See hundreds of creative propaganda posters, feel their spiritual power, hear about the dramatic history of China’s past several decades, and experience how propaganda has rooted itself in Chinese education and media to influence daily life.

Our Happy Visitors

The guide Dinna is very personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing her personal stories and the bigger overall story of China’s transformation in modern history. The tour isn’t only about propaganda but everyday life in China and how it relates to the cultural/communist revolutions under Mao and the current political state of the country. Loved it!

Dinna, our tour guide, uses her great energy and personality and her own real life experiences to bring alive this subject using day to day examples of different types of propaganda and as you walk around a different part of the French Concession area. The quirky basement poster museum was fascinating but still the best part was her singing........

I joined the propaganda tour and it was great! If you are looking to get a deeper insight into China not just sightseeing, it is totally recommended!
