Is it possible to visit manufacturing facilities "for fun" in China?

5/10/2017 4:16:17 PM

Industrial tours for students are a growing niche market in China, with universities (e.g., MIT) arranging visits and exchanges, and tour operators offering many packages targeted at students/graduates, and not just entrapreneurs/investors. Without a tour operator or official pre-arrangements, it is less likely some companies or manufacturers would allow informal access to a facility.

There are manufacturers that accept tour requests, and some that have hours in which they are open to tourists, such as these in Shanghai as examples.

SAIC Volkswagen
Address: #5288, Cao’ an Road, Jiading District
Open: 9:00 am-5:00 pm
Subway Line 11 to Shanghai Automobile City Station (上海汽车城站)

Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation
Address: #370 Pudian Road, Baosteel Tower, Pudong New District
Open: 9:00 am-5:00 pm

However, those may not give you the in-depth experience and understanding you’re after. For that, you might want to consider an industrial tour specifically designed for students, such as:
