Shanghai
Urban Delights (4days)

Shanghai is China's economic powerhouse, the country's largest and fastestgrowing city. Set in the middle of the east China coast, the city has evolved from a sleepy town known for its fishing and weaving into a modern metropolis famed for finance and trade. Shanghai's gigantic, bustling port is now the world's third largest and ultra-modern glass-and-steel high rises are filling the city's landscape. In Shanghai, you'll stay at the new and elegant Four Seasons or at the JC Mandarin, located in the heart of the shopping district. On your first night in the city, you'll see some of China's most adept ambassadors, the world-renowned Shanghai Acrobats, whose balancing acts have delighted audiences from London to La Paz. The next day you'll tour The Bund, once known as the Wall Street of the Far East. This beautiful waterfront area is filled with colonial-era banks and trading houses. You'll also visit the Jade Buddha Temple, which houses two important white jade statues of the Buddha, both brought from Myanmar.

On your next day you'll tour Suzhou, known as the Venice of the East for its great network of canals and bridges. Suzhou is also famed for its many classical gardens; you'll visit the Lingering Garden. You'll also visit Tiger Hill, home of Suzhou's Leaning Pagoda, which is set at an even more precarious angle than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. End by touring one of Suzhou's finest silk mills. On your final day, you'll be transferred to the airport.

The tour price includes hotel accommodations, breakfasts, transfers, taxes and sightseeing as noted.
