In Shanghai, the tour will feature a sightseeing tour of Shanghai, including the classical Yu Gardens, featuring over 30 pavilions; a spell-binding performance by the world-renowned Shanghai Acrobat Troupe; a chance to explore Shanghai’s best preserved ancient town, Zhu Jia Jiao, which dates back 1,700 years and boasts willow-lined streets; and a farewell dinner and cocktail party.
