Shanghai
Shanghai was the last part of our trip in China. We arrived late in the evening and our guide, Wini, waited to take us to the hotel. She was immediately very welcoming and friendly! In the next 2 days she made us appreciate the modern and ancient part of Shanghai, the beautiful ancient Chinese gardens of Souzhou and the romantic atmosphere of Tongli water village. She was very knowledgeable, professional and nice. We totally recommend visiting Shanghai with Wini!
