17 days in Shanghai Itinerary

With a nickname like the "Pearl of the Orient," it's not surprising Shanghai offers some of the most rewarding attractions and activities in the Far East.

Venture out of the city with trips to Xitang Ancient Town (in Jiashan County), Shaxi Ancient Town (in Taicang) and Suzhou (Suzhou Garden Museum, Humble Administrator's Garden, & more). There's much more to do: take in the pleasant sights at The Bund (Wai Tan), examine the collection at Shanghai Museum (Shanghai Bowuguan), take in the local highlights with Walking tours, and enjoy breathtaking views from Oriental Pearl Tower (Dongfang Mingzhu).
