Day 02: Shanghai
The city tour starts with the Shanghai Museum which possesses a collection of 120,000 precious works of art. The architectural form of the structure itself is unique and symbolistic. By the round top and the square base, it looks like a bronze and indicates the ancient Chinese philosophy. There are eleven galleries and three special temporary exhibition halls in the museum where you can see Chinese ancient furniture, painting, sculpture, calligraphy, jade, ceramics, coin, seal, bronze and minority nationalities’ art. Then we will take you to the Yuyuan Garden which was built more than 400 years ago. It is located in the old city area and adjacent to the City God Temple and the Yuyuan department store, so the area is always popular and bustling. After lunch, the afternoon activities for luxury and standard series are differently arranged. Clients of luxury series will take a cruise tour on the Huangpu River which starts at 14:00 and ends at 17:00. Along the way, you will see the most essential scenery which includes the grand buildings of different styles, the lofty Yangtze River Bridges, the oceangoing ships and the fantastic view of three rivers with distinct colors conflate at the Yangtze River estuary. For standard series, we schedule the Bund and the Nanjing Road which is the most representative area of Shanghai, as well as a local family visit. The Bund by the Huangpu River used to be the concession of Great Britain and France for over a hundred years, and now is the busiest part where the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Shanghai World Financial Center, Jin Mao Tower, and Shanghai Ocean Aquarium are located.
