Free introductory tours for Shanghai newbies

Freebies, freebies, we love freebies! China Spring Tour, an offshoot from the budget airline Spring Airlines is giving away free one-day introductory tours once per week between September 27 and December 13. Looking at the itinerary — which covers Lujiazui, the Bund, Xintiandi, the Tianhou Silk Factory and Qibao Old Town — we gather this is targeted at complete noobs. Applicants must be foreign nationals who've lived in Shanghai for less than six months, so if you have your passport full of China visas like ours, you're not eligible. Still a good tour to put your visitors on if you have no time to bring them around yourself!
