Description

Your Shanghai city tour starts with pickup at your downtown hotel. Explore the city with your private expert guide and customize the itinerary to your preferences.

Your guide will share the area's rich history.

Next, visit the 500-year-old Yu Garden, featuring ancient pavilions, ponds, rockeries, and Qing-Dynasty architecture. Walk across the ‘Nine Zigzag’ bridge and browse local markets selling souvenirs such as handicrafts, antiques, jade, and pearls.

After morning sightseeing, enjoy a recommended local lunch arranged by your guide.

In the afternoon, visit the century-old Jade Buddha Temple to see exquisite jade statues from Burma and explore various temple chambers while learning about religious culture.
