Day 02Shanghai

Your pleasant tour begins with a visit to Shanghai Museum, a large-scale ancient Chinese art museum. The museum houses over 120,000 pieces of cultural relics, especially ancient artworks. After that, the tour will be extended to the Yuyuan Garden, a classical garden initially built by an official to satisfy his old parents over 400 years ago. The Nine-Turnings Bridge and a pavilion in the middle of the pond are the highlights of the garden. An a la carte welcome  lunch will be served at a fancy and famous local restaurant for you. In the afternoon, you will head to the Bund area to take a short but exciting cruise tour on the Huangpu River. It is an excellent way to unveil the two faces of Shanghai.

When the cruise ends, free time will be left for you to explore the Bund and then visit an old street in Shanghai .
