In Shanghai we only book the comfortable hotel for you. Our listed itinerary is just for your reference, which is not included in our package tour price.

Thus, to save the cost for you, we, TravelChinaGuide, would like to leave this part on your own. Particularly, we have made a sketch map for the suggested itinerary. Hope it helps. Alternatively, if you want to avoid being a little bit adventurous and enjoy your stay in Shanghai in a sit-back manner, we are also glad to make arrangements for you.

The above private guided tour is tailored for you, your family or your friends exclusively. No other participants will be in your group. In other words, others will not join in your tour and you will not take part into any tours of others on our land services.

We are introduced by my friends to stay at House of Shambala in Lhasa. But we have found that this is just a guest house, the service quality and the food quality at that hotel are not good. Please do not choose this hotel. We suggest you can choose at least a 3 star hotel there, for the local condition is worse than other cities. :)
