Shanghai is a bustling port with a pronounced European flavor that lingers from its heyday earlier this century as one of the world’s great maritime crossroads. A walk through Shanghai’s neighborhoods reveals a surprising mix of European architecture and old and new Chinese facades. The Children’s Palace once the home of a Shanghai millionaire is today a school were children come to study performing arts, calligraphy and ancient handicrafts as well as science and modern technologies. Some time in Shanghai is best left unstructured, to enjoy the manicured Yu Gardens or to stroll along the Bund, and to browse in Shanghai’s countless antique shops.

OPTIONAL SIGHTSEEING TOUR

Suzhou, a short train ride from Shanghai, was founded in 500 BC; it offers a wonderful glimpse of old-world charm with its narrow cobblestone streets, silk shops and teahouses. Suzhou is known as the Venice of the East because it is built around a network of canals and 300 criss-crossing bridges. But it is Suzhou’s 60 classical gardens and famous silk industry that inspired the Chinese to name this area "paradise on earth". Most famous of the gardens is the Humble Administrator’s Garden (1522 AD). Suzhou is the home of the National Embroidery Institute that has a 1000-year history of producing exquisite embroideries.
