Shanghai has been growing with a blend of eastern and western culture. She has been more influenced by western culture than other cities in China since a century ago, though her oriental charm is undeniable. This is Shanghai, an all-embracing place in Chinese eyes.
Openness, diversity and vitality may be the best description of Shanghai. You can see people working at a fast pace of urban life and others living a relaxed life in Shikumen lanes in the city. Aged classic buildings dubbed “Exhibition of International Architecture” arrayed along the Bund are in stark contrast to the modern
skyscrapers mushrooming in the opposite of the Huangpu river. This, thus, may be the most attraction of Shanghai which features vigorous vitality.
Our course “Tours Around Shanghai” is aimed to give you a relaxing and novel journey through the landmarks of the city with rich characteristics and cultural ambiances of which architectures, humanity activities, characteristic markets, etc are must-see scenic spots. Whether or not you are new comer, this course will bring you a fresh experience, a close contact with the city’s novelty and plainness.
