Shanghai (B, L, D)
Sightseeing: Nanjing Road, the Bund, Yuyuan Garden, Jade Buddha Temple
Lunch: Lu Bo Lang Restaurant. This famous restaurant is great for typical Shanghai snacks. You can get a sample of 12 different dumplings and cakes, enough for a light lunch.
Dinner: Mei Long Zhen Restaurant. This is an authentic shanghai restaurant offering traditional shanghai food. A good place to try lots of local specialities - shi zi tou (lion head meatballs) and of course Shanghai dumplings (they even have crabmeat filling!). Prepare to be amazed by the guys who fill your teapot and sit back and enjoy a little old world Chinese style.
In the morning you will take a walk to the famous Nanjing Road and the Bund. They are among the most recognizable architectural symbols of Shanghai and therefore a must-see when visiting Shanghai.
Then we will take a relaxing walk to the lovely Yuyuan Garden, a beautiful garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Wandering through it, you will find pavilions, corridors, streams, courtyards as well as many other natural features.
Finally we head to the Jade Buddha Temple. The old-time and classical architectural style makes the temple unique and inimitable in this modern city. Both, the Sitting Buddha and the Recumbent Buddha are carved with whole white jade. If you're lucky, you can watch the monks serving a ceremony in a side room.
