: An excellent tour with Cindy Wang / Shanghai Advisor Tour

Shanghai is an amazing City! Thanks Cindy, for this great tour. We had one extra day in shanghai to spend after we finished our business. I would highly recommend this trip as well as traveling with Cindy. We explored The Ming-Dynasty, Yu Garden and Jade Buddha Temple. We also visited the observation deck in one of Shanghais highest skyscrapers. We had a chance to buy gifts as well as tea from the tea market. At the end we went to The Bund and we had a great dinner at a very fancy restaurant over looking The Bund. Cindy is very knowledgeable about the city and its history. This was one of the best tours I ever had.
