Shanghai & the South East Coast
Shanghai, the center of Asian commerce awaits… This is a place where the traditions of the east met the economic tempo of the west
From the “Pearl of the Orient”, Asia’s tallest structure, to the colonial streets of the “Bund”, China’s rich history comes alive. Tour the city that is changing the way Chinese view themselves and perhaps more importantly the way the rest of the world views China.
Travel by rail and to the ancient cities of the Grand Canal. Meditate and reflect upon the serenity and grace of Classical Chinese Gardens in Suzhou. Then cross the bridge on the trail of Marco Polo.
Today manufacturing and foreign trade have joined silk and jade as the center of industry in the new China; but you’ll see these trades are not forgotten. And finally pay a visit to Hainan Island, once considered “the End of the Earth”, now China’s new sparkling tropical paradise. |
