Shanghai (3N) tour
Seriously one of the world's most exciting cities...where progress is so "in your face" and impressive...yet in stark contrast to the China of yesteryear, with the glory of the historic buildings along the newly revamped Bund, the old French and British concessions and ancient water towns as they have been for millennia. The meandering Huangpu River cuts Shanghai into two distinct precincts...a sort of "Manhattan" on one side, and 19th-century "Victorian and Edwardian" history on the other...and everywhere stunning hotels, eating places, the traffic-free Nanjing Road for shopping...plus the world's fastest commercial train...the 431-km Maglev train, offering the world's most thrilling airport transfer.
Minimum - 2 persons.
