Important note:
In both Shanghai and Hong Kong we only book the comfortable hotels for
you. Our listed itinerary for these two parts is just for your reference,
which is not included in our package tour price. These two places are
both international metropolis with modern transportations to be easily
accessed, and also English is widely used, so it is quite convenient to
find the way to your destinations, there's no need to have a guide and
private car according to our experiences. Thus, to save the cost for you,
we, TravelChinaGuide, would like to leave these two cities' visit on your
own. Particularly, we have made a sketch map for the suggested itinerary
in Shanghai, and in Hong Kong, we also made a transportation map, where
you could obtain some useful information on how to get to your hotel from
the airport. Hope you will enjoy your days there.
Alternatively, if you want to avoid being a little bit adventurous and
enjoy your stay in Shanghai or Hong Kong in a sit-back manner, we are
also glad to make arrangements for you. Your tour specialists will quote
you the price for this part upon your requirements.
Differences can be only made by comparison. Our Making a Difference page
for all private tours will let you know extra benefits we offer over and
above those on tours available from other operators. We welcome
