Hangzhou-Shanghai

Few cities in the world evoke so much history, excess, glamour, mystique and exotic promise in name alone. This tour is well organized to take you visit from the architectural landmarks lining the Bund and the rickety charm of the Old Town to the leafy backstreets of the former French Concession, as Shanghai is just a city that begs for wandering. You may love that can slurp a bowl of hang-pulled noodles or bite into soupy steamed bun for next to nothing.
