Day 2: Shanghai City Sightseeing
(B,L)
Today will be spent touring the sights that make
Shanghai one of the word’s great cities. After
breakfast in the hotel, our first stop will be at
the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall. If
you’re stunned by Shanghai today, go see how it will
look in 2020. The centerpiece is an enormous scale
model of the city centre that takes an entire upper
floor. It shows current and future development, and
it’s mind-boggling. There are raised walkways for
viewing the model from different angles, and the
detail is fascinating, showing clearly what’s
planned, and what already exists. City planning is a
hot topic throughout the world, and the centre is
themed around "City, Human, Environment and
Development", which concern city dwellers from any
country. The glimpse of present and future Shanghai
can provide much food for thought, as well as
enjoyment and a good overview of this often
overwhelming city.
Then we will go to get a bird’s eye view of Shanghai
at the Shanghai World Financial Center. Shanghai
World Financial Center is the highest building in
Shanghai, as it creates a new Shanghai landmark
along with the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jinmao
Tower. It takes about 1 minute from first floor to
95th by the elevator with a speed of 10 meters per
second. In the 100th viewing pavilion, visitors can
see the peak of Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jinmao
Tower. In the 55 meters long viewing gallery,
visitors can see the moving cars and passerby
clearly through 3 transparent glass floors. The
observation bridge atop the building will be the
highest outdoor observation deck in the world.
We’ll next see Shanghai’s most famed and iconic
site, the Bund. The Bund is a famous waterfront and
regarded as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of
years. It affords marvelous views across the river
of the Pudong district and its numerous towers. The
most famous and attractive sight which is at the
west side of the Bund are the 52 various buildings
of different architectural styles including Gothic,
Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and the Renaissance.
It will then be time for a leisurely stroll through Yuyuan Garden. Yuyuan Garden is a famed classical
garden, and even though it may be small, it contains
numerous pavilions, halls, rockeries, ponds and
cloisters, and all have unique characteristics.
There are six main scenic areas in the garden:
Sansui Hall, Wanhua Chamber, Dianchun Hall, Huijing
Hall, Yuhua Hall and the Inner Garden. Each area
features several scenic spots within its borders.
After a lunch of Shanghai cuisine, we’ll go to the Jiangnan Silk Museum, to see how silk is produced
from the cocoons of silk worms, and turned into the
beautiful fabric we all know and love. Silk is an
extremely important trade in this area of the
country Silk filled duvets are excellent value, and
the showroom offers everything from small souvenirs
to larger items. The beauty of real silk is that
it's so light, and packs really easily.
We’ll then return to the hotel, and you are free to
spend your night further exploring Shanghai on your
own. |
Day 3: Mt. Huangshan (B, L, D)
After breakfast in the hotel, we
will drive to Yellow Mountain, the premier sight of
Mt. Huangshan. With a height of 1873 meters (6145
feet), is the highest peak of the Mt. Huangshan
Scenic Area. At present over 500 kinds of animals
and 1500 kinds of plants live on the Huangshan
Mountains. UNESCO listed Yellow Mountain as one of
the World Natural Heritage sites in 1990. In order
to get up the mountain, we’ll take the cable car,
which is included in the price of your tour.
While on Yellow Mountain, we will see some curious
sights, such as the Strange Pines, which re seen in
every corner of Yellow Mountain. You will be amazed
by their vitality and strength. The seeds fall into
the crevices where they take root and grow with
great vigor. The uneven terrain prevents the pines
from growing upright. Instead they become crooked
and even downward. Another feature of Huangshan
pines is that many trees grow branches on one side
only. Some notable ones that we will see include the
Guest-Greeting Pine (in front of the stone lion of
the Jade Screen Pavilion in the Jade Screen Scenic
Area), and the Guest-Goodbye Pine (to the right of
the Jade Screen Pavilion).
We’ll also come across the Jade Screen Scenic Area,
and this scenic area has Jade Screen Pavilion as its
center and the Lotus Peak and the Heavenly Capital
Peak as the main body. This is the Front Mountain as
people usually call it. Along the road you will find
Peng Lai Three Islands, 100-step Scaling Ladder, the
Thread of the Sky and the New Thread of the Sky.
"Splendid is the landscape", handwritings by
Chairman Mao Ze Dong, are inscribed on the Jade
Screen Peak.
We’ll on the peaks of Yellow Mountain, we’ll see the
numerous seas and mists of clouds that hover around
the mountain. At sunset, the glistening clouds
assume every hue from red to purple. You cannot help
marveling at this gift from the Creator! You will be
struck by the beauty when all the red leaves are
floating on the white clouds in autumn, when the
clouds gush between the peaks like a raging river
while the red leaves flutter delicately in the
breeze.
After the sunset, we’ll drive back to Huangshan city
where we will spend the night night in the same
hotel as the evening before.
