Day 1 Shanghai to Hangzhou Round Trip

Thanks for taking services from LTC! Your tour guide will pick you up just out from hotel lobby and then accompany you to Hangzhou in private vehicle.

Cruising on West Lake
The three isles on the lake look more like legendary Fairyland Islands. All scenes are with philosophic meanings and poetic feelings, such as "Ten Scenes of the West Lake" (Ten in China is perfectionist number, indicates numerous perfects) confirmed by two emperors who had traveled from Beijing for 16 times and set their steles erected and composed their poems for each of these ten scenes. They have pinpointed the charms of West Lake in different places, different seasons and time of the year, in terms of seasonal beauty

Lingyin Temple
Ling Ying Temple as a significant Buddhist temple, it holds an intensive collection of artifacts and treasure related to the religion. Thousands of people come here every day to worship and find peace. The Temple contains an important collection of Buddhist literature together with many other treasures. Therefore, it is a great storehouse of information for those who wish to study aspects of Chinese Buddhism in detail. The palaces, pavilions, and halls together with their many figures of Buddhist deities represent a splendid and unique collection of architectural and artistic cultural relics. The various buildings and pagodas date from the Southern Song, Ming, and Tang Dynasties.

Flying Mountain(Fei Lei Feng)
Standing 209 metres (700 feet) tall, the Feilai Feng Mountain is among the most distinctive of the city’s landmarks and is unique from the sandstone mountains that surround it in that it is a limestone formation. A well-known legend states that an Indian monk named Huili arrived here 1,600 years ago and was surprised to see a peak so different from others. He believed that the peak had flown over from India because the shape, although unique in China, was common in India. However, he did not know why the peak would have flown to this spot so far from his country. Hence the peak's name was created and has passed down to the present day.

Longjing Tea Village to experience Chinese Tea Culture
One of the most prized and expensive teas in China, dragon well green tea has a light yet unmistakable fragrance and calming taste. Known locally as Longjing, the best harvests are traditionally reserved for government officials and the wealthy elite. And the best way to laugh in their faces and cop free samples of the stuff is to skip the storefronts and teahouses and head straight to the source -- Hangzhou’s Longjing Village (龙井村).

Meals: Lunch
Day 2 Shanghai

Tour guide picks you up at appointed time in hotel and escort you to tour Shanghai in following scenic spots.
Shanghai Museum
As a museum of ancient Chinese art, Shanghai Museum possesses a collection of 120,000 precious works of art. Its rich and high-quality collection of ancient Chinese bronze, ceramics, painting and calligraphy is specially celebrated in the world. Founded and first open to the public in the building previously of the horseracing club at 325 W. Nanjing Road in 1952 and then moved into the former Zhonghui Building at 16 S. Henan Road in 1959, the museum developed very quickly in aspects of acquisition, conservation, research, exhibition, education and cultural exchanges with other institutes.
Yuyuan Garden
Yuyuan Garden is the only fully restored classical Chinese garden in Shanghai. It was inaugurated in the Ming dynasty and has a total area of 20,000 square meters. Although the Garden occupies less than five acres, demonstrates perfectly the sophisticated art of combining several different elements to create a world in miniature - ingeniously mingling pavilions and corridors, small hills and carefully selected and well-placed rocks, lotus ponds, bridges, winding paths, and trees and shrubs. As a paragon of the south Chinese landscaping style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are more than 40 scenic spots scattered throughout the garden, which is divided into six parts by five boundary walls. The six scenic areas include the Grand Rockery, the Ten Thousand-Flower Pavilion, the Hall of Heralding Spring, the Hall of Jade Magnificence, the Inner Garden, and the Lotus Pool.
Nanjing Road
Nanjing Road (南京路 Nánjīnglù) is Shanghai's main shopping street, famously named one of the World's Seven Great Roads in the 1930s and now making a rapid comeback after decades of Maoist austerity. The road stretches from The Bund east towards Hongqiao, with Shanghai's centerpoint People's Square (人民广场) in the middle.

The Bund
The Bund is located along the Huangpu River which is located in the Huangpu District, the center of Shanghai. It is the scenery line of Shanghai. It has the Shanghai landmarks Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jinmao Tower in the opposite across the Huangpu River. It is a must-see place while enjoying your Shanghai Tours. Since 1943, the Bund has been also known as Zhong Shan Dong Yi Road. It has the total length of about 1.5 km. The Bund starts south from the Yan'an East Road, north to the White Bridge on the Suzhou Creek, east faces the Huangpu River, west has the 52 different classical revival building in the Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, Chinese and western style which constitute the financial center of old Shanghai and concentration zone of foreign trade agencies. The Bund is known as the "International Architecture Exhibition Group".
Huangpu River Cruise
Huangpu River, a symbol of Shanghai, originates in Dianshan Lake and empties into the Yangtze River at Wusongkou (mouth of Wusong River). It is 114 kilometers (71miles) long and 400 meters (0.25 miles) wide. It is ice-free year round. The river divides Shanghai into east and west. It is a silent eyewitness to Shanghai's history and its development. We will take the shortest cruise from west bank to east bank, though there are three types of cruise.

Oriental Pearl TV Tower
This 468 meters (1,536 feet) high tower is the world's sixth and China's second tallest TV and radio tower. However, even more alluring than its height is the unique architectural design that makes the Oriental Pearl TV Tower one of the most attractive places anywhere. There are three large spheres including the top sphere, known as the space module. Then there are five smaller spheres and three decorative spheres on the tower base. You are highly suggested to take life up to second sphere.
