Included in the trip are intensive Chinese language classes, cultural activities (such as Calligraphy and Tai Chi), business lectures, company visits (to companies such as UnionPay, Volkswagen), sightseeing and guided tours.

The Confucius Institute runs this tour yearly. The 2019 Shanghai Study Tour will be held during the break after Term 2, from 1 - 15 September.
