subject: China Tours From Vancouver - Places To Visit In Shanghai [print this page] If you have recently signed up for one of the customized and pre-packaged China tour from Vancouver,let me tell you some really interesting places you can visit in Shanghai. The land is full of visual treats for first time visitors in particular, so be prepared to click a lot of pictures, for you will certainly see a lot of never-before seen sights.
For a first-hand view of the country's recent historical accolades as well as a glimpse into its culture, a visit to the First National Congress of the Communist Party site is must. This building was opened for the public about 50 years ago, and has ever since seen millions flock to see the iconic Chinese establishment. The building is actually more of a museum, as it has genuine artifacts that were used by the Communist party under Chairman Mao. One of its major attractions is a wax model of a party session, along with a dummy of Mao chairing the same; surely a not to be missed sight.
No China tour from Vancouver can be complete unless you have seen the fantastic gardens Shanghai has to provide for your eyes only! The Yu Yuan Gardens are located in the south west portion of the city, adjoining the waterfront walk of the Bund, which makes them the perfect place to lie down and soak in the beauty of nature after a hard day's walk. These gardens were established by the Ming Dynasty in the 1600s, and retain their beauty even after 400 years of their inception. One of the most prolific 'constituents' of these gardens are the Jade sculptures as well as the maze of pavilions.
The Bund, as mentioned earlier, is an old waterfront path that goes past the eastern shore of the Huangpu River. The visitor can see some of the most iconic Chinese buildings and landmarks along the way, and is a nice retreat from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets.
Make sure you visit this magical town during your trip to China.
