Rising in the morning we continue east to explore amazing Yangzhou, an ancient & beautiful town.  Perhaps considered off the "tourist" trial it boasts sites such as Slender Western Lake.  Da Ming temple, a Ming Dynasty tomb surrounded by some of the most beautiful Gardens and canals in China is also a short walk from the Hostel.  Yangzhou also boasts very famous rice dish and has long been considered one of the best places in China to indulge in a classic foot massage, which of course many head too after dinner as well (option).

Suzhou is a famous garden city laced with wonderful gardens and pagodas, famous for its beauty.   of these sites several are UNESCO listed as World Heritage sites, so you should re-join the bus as we travel around them (30 RMB), which is a full afternoon. The city is also an important location for a world famous silk industry which we'll directly experience the following day.  However perhaps of equal importance is it's "Bar & Restaurant Street", one of the best in China, so most of the group l make tracks for the Shi Qian Jie Lu are and explore it's bars and restaurants.

Shanghai is the commercial hub of China, but also a great place to finish and spend a few extra days!  The Shanghai World Expo has set this City on fire and combine that with is wonderful nightlife, what can we say?  Blending Eastern & Western cultures this City could be an ending highlight.   However prior to arrival we'll explore an ancient, but not overrun, small canal town.  There you can chose to ride a boat around its Venice like canals before re-boarding the bus for Shanghai. Obviously a sad time as it signals the end of your trip... so tonight party with your new found friends in this amazing city with the help of your guide.
