Shanghai
Urban Delights (4days)

Shanghai is China's economic powerhouse, the country's largest and fastest growing 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.
