Our next destination, Shanghai and our hotel right on Nanjing Road.Our guide in Shanghai was Sarah who took us to the watertown of Zhujiajiao and to Seven Treasures Town.  Both of these excursions were very pleasurable and entertaining.  We watched silk comforters being made and learned why Zhujiajiao is called "the Venice of China".
