Shanghai has many things to see, and the first place you will go to is Yuyuan Garden. It was originally a private garden when constructed in 1559 during the Ming Dynasty, noted for its traditional Chinese garden style. There are 6 general areas in this garden complex including Wanhua Chamber, Sansui Hall, Inner Garden, and more. The Yuyuan market nearby is a fine place to stop by for a snack or souvenirs.
On today’s special tour, you will have a chance to live like a local. Our "Be a Shanghainese" tour allows you to visit the Caoyang New Neighbourhood. Then, explore a local food market and end up making traditional dumplings with a local resident. This will be your lunch.The last stop today is Jade Buddha Temple. This Buddhist temple was founded in 1882 and its bright citrus color beckons to worshippers and visitors of all backgrounds. The Chamber of Four Heavenly Kings, Grand Hall, and Jade Buddha Chamber are important parts of Jade Buddha Temple.

The Bund
Today we first visit the Shanghai Museum which is the largest museum in all of China. There is an incredible array of things to see here from throughout Shanghai and the nation’s history, presented through exhibits that display bronze works, sculptures, ceramics, calligraphies, furniture, and much, much more from centuries long gone. Both quality and quantity are evident here. You will also be able to enjoy an audio guide to accompany you as you pass through the collections.
Take a stop at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, one of the tallest of its kind on earth. It is special in appearance because of 2 immense spheres that create the "pearls" referenced in its name. The tower is located just across the Bund and completed in 1994 and the tallest construction in China until 2007 when the Shanghai World Financial Center eclipsed it with its completion.
After lunch at a local restaurant, you will be taken to train station for your journey back to Beijing.
We use different hotels for different tour classes while the itinerary is the same. Deluxe Class is usually staying at a 5-star hotel, Superior Class at a 4-star hotel and Tourist Class at a 3-star level hotel. The prices for one person are based on sharing twin hotel rooms with another guest. A supplement is necessary if you want to book single rooms. And the prices may rise during national holidays, such as the National Day (September 30th to October 6th) and Chinese New Year (late January or early February)
All of our tour guides are certificated and experienced. They are local experts with detailed knowledge about attractions, history, culture and more. They know the best places to visit, can give you advice on restaurants that serve great local food, the best places to shop, or theaters for the best shows in town.
We use the modern air-conditioned luxury cars for families or 2-3 persons and small buses for small groups of 4-7 persons.
We ensure that all of the vehicles that we use are well-maintained (not over 4 years) and always very clean. Our drivers are very nice and careful with over 5-year drive experience.
