Tour FeaturesShanghai locates at the mouth of the Yangtze River and literally, the name of the city means: the city on the sea, the ancient cultures and dream explainers said water is wealth and means fortune, this is probably the reason that places close to sea or river are wealthier than the inland areas. We hope several days sailing in the Yangtze River bring a lot of dreams of water!
