Day 2
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.
Day 3
Shanghai (B, L, D)
Sightseeing: Shanghai Museum, Oriental Pearl Tower
Lunch: 1221 Restaurant. The decor is modern and stylish and the menu offers a mix of traditional and innovative Shanghai cuisine that is very tasty. Try the 'la la ji ding' or spicy cold chicken noodles or any other of their fabulous cold appetizers. A unique dish is the stir fried beef with deep fried dough sticks, a mix of crispy and soft textures. Service is friendly and attentive.
Dinner: Furong Zhen Sichuan Restaurant. This Sichuan restaurant has had perfect dan-dan noodles. It has better Sichuan food than some restaurants in Chongqing. Try the sliced pork with garlic sauce, deep-fried shrimp with chili sauce, tea-smoked duck with dumpling, shredded chicken with Sichuan sauce, or boiled beef with chili and onions. You can request different degrees of hot spices.
Today you will visit Shanghai Museum which is the biggest museum of China. It incorporates a collection of over 120,000 pieces of Chinese art & cultural relics and is especially famous for its treasures of bronzes, ceramics, paintings and calligraphy.
After lunch, we will visit the Oriental Pearl Tower, the highest TV Tower in Asia, which creates a picture of 'twin dragons playing with pearls'. The entire scene is a photographic jewel that excites the imagination and attracts thousands of visitors all year-round.

Lisa from Visit Our China is awesome! She answers messages promptly and replies to emails within the day. Planning for my trip to Chongqing with my elderly parents was a breeze thanks to her efficiency. The prices of show tickets and Yangtze River cruise were cheaper than what I could get online. She even came personally to greet us in Guilin when I visited Guilin in September. Will definitely be asking her to plan all of my China trips from now on!

Contacted Lisa from Visit Our China to arrange a 9D8N tour of Guangzhou Guilin for a group of 8. I provided a list of places to visit and Lisa was able to craft out the itinerary. We also made some changes along the way as one of the members had difficulty walking. The member even contacted Lisa to ask for advice on alternative locations to visit. Lisa's response is within 24 hours, crystal clear and very open for discussions. The tour itself ran perfectly with English speaking guides in both locations. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and gave in-depth details of the various locations which we visited. They were patient and obliged with taking photos for us. Overall, great customer experience. Am already working with Lisa for our next China trip!

Had a wonderful experience with Lisa of Visit Our China tour agency on our oct trip to Beijing, Luoyang and Xian. She was very responsive and patiently answered all our queries before the trip. During the trip, service levels of the tour guides and drivers were excellent. They always made sure we were safe and comfortable. Will be looking to book with Lisa again in our future China trips.

We (8 pax seniors) had a truly memorable 11-day tour covering Shanghai, Wuxi, Wuzhen, Hangzhou, and Huangshan Mountain in mid-October 2025. A big thank you to Lisa for her well-planned and thoughtful itinerary. She was patient in accommodating all our requests and consistently checked in on our well-being throughout the trip — even though the assigned guide and driver were already very caring and knowledgeable. Lisa is someone who genuinely goes the extra mile, and her dedication made our trip smooth and enjoyable. We will definitely seek her service again for our next adventure in China!

Will for sure contact VOC again for future trips we may consider. We contacted Lisa for a trip to Changbaishan early september 2025 and an other one to Zhangjiajie in October. Lisa offers were in line with our expectations. She has been continuously helpful before and during our trips. Everything went well during both trips and our guides managed to arrange suitable visits, despite the not so good weather conditions we faced. Aa a whole we did really enjoy those trips. Guides, hatel accomodations, transports have all been fine and we definitely recommend and will for sure contact VOC again for future trips we may consider.
