Ensemble Experience
SHANGHAI, CHINA
Tour Name: The Yu Gardens and Family Home Visit
 

Discover exhilarating, dynamic Shanghai, awash in amazing modern architecture yet enfolding pockets of heritage like the exquisite Yu Yuan, a stunning Ming Mandarins garden and the world-famous Bund, the broad century-old boulevard that hugs the curving shoreline of the Huangpu River. Your tour of Shanghai begins with a brief photo stop at the famous Bund, the commercial center of old Shanghai. Then youll drive to another section of the city to the splendid Yu Yuan. The Chinese elite treasured their carefully planned gardens where they could relax and contemplate ordered nature. The 400 year-old Yu Yuan, a superb private preserve built in the Ming architectural style is a perfect example. Reminiscent of gardens in Suzhou, this mandarins garden features more than 30 halls and pavilions and is divided into six parts, each separated by a white brick wall; the top of which forms an undulating gray dragon. Savor the serene and contemplative atmosphere as you wander through them. After your visit to the gardens you will drive to the Chao Yang residential area, the first of its kind in Shanghai built after the liberation in 1949. Enjoy a very special experience as a local family welcomes you into their home. After a tour of the home you can enjoy a dumpling lunch. Then you will have a quick tour of the area before returning to the ship.
