Shanghai Short Tours - Tours from Shanghai
Shanghai, the Paris of the Orient, is a transportation hub filled with many historic sites, as well as modern amenities, ideal for visitors to get a smooth transition into China.
However, Shanghai is not just a gateway into China. It is worthwhile to take short tours around Shanghai to a number of well preserved ancient water towns such as Wuzhen, Xitang, Tongli, often referred to as Oriental Venice; or Suzhou, a live museum of ancient traditional Chinese gardens; and the Yellow Mountain (Mt. Huangshan), which is famed as the most beautiful mountain in China. These unforgettable sites will give visitors enough memories to last a lifetime.
