17 Days Yangtze River Cruise Tour from Shanghai

Welcome to China, and the first stop of your Yangtze River cruise tour belongs to the charming Shanghai! With 6,340.5 square kilometers, the mega-city has a permanent population of 24,870,900. As a modern city, it is known for its skyscrapers and fast-paced lifestyle. Being one of China’s hot scenic spots contributing to the liberalization of China’s tourism industry, it is a favored getaway for holidaymakers from across the world. Today, we are going to explore beautiful Shanghai and have a stay here for 2 days. After arrival, the local guide holding your name sign will meet you at the airport, and then help you to check in at the hotel downtown. 

After a hotel-served breakfast, we will visit the Yu Garden (closed each Monday), a quiet paradise in this hustle and bustle city. It is a private garden in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Pan Yunduan, a government official of Sichuan, built it for his father’s retirement. In Chinese, the “Yu” means peace and happiness, implying to please old parents. However, it is a pity that Pan’s parents expired before the construction was finished. While visiting here, you will see the Sansui Hall. Maybe you could guess what’s it for! In Qing Dynasty (1636-1912), it was a place to host government celebration ceremonies and preach the sacred decrees. Also, it was used for the literati and gentries to gather together and have private dinners. In addition, there are also many other sightseeing spots. Let’s explore the dragon-shaped Nine-dragon Pond, Wanhua Hall, the Huijing Tower, and other beauties together!

After that, we are going to the Shanghai Old Street sat in the Xiaodongmen Area, which was an important place for Shanghai’s commercial trade, having witnessed the economic and social development of this vigorous city. Walking around Old Street, you will feel that you have transferred back to the bustling bazaar hundred-of years ago. Here you could buy jade artifacts, folding fans, high-quality Chinese silks, paper-cuts with Chinese characteristics. It must be a good choice for you to select some of them and buy for your loved ones in your sweet hometown.

After lunch, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower will wait for us to visit. With the integration of sightseeing, dining, shopping, entertainment, and TV transmission, it has become one of the landmarks in Shanghai. It is one of the perfect locations to have a 360° bird’s eye view of the city with a 468-meter’s height. Besides, what is also worth mentioning is the public benefit activities hosted here. On Women’s Day, March eighth, pink light always shines in The Oriental Pearl TV Tower to call on people’s care and love for women. And on World Autism Awareness Day, April second, blue light shines to call people’s attention and concern for autistic patients.

Next, our destination is Nanjing Road, one of the ten commercial centers in Shanghai. There are China’s time-honored stores on both sides of the road, for example, Baodaxiang (silk store), Hengdali (clock store), Zhangxiaoquan (scissors store), etc. You could buy some as souvenirs for your families and friends. Next, I’d like to recommend the M&M’s World Store to you! It is one of the world’s five M&M’s stores, and the other four stores are in New York, London, Las Vegas, and Orlando. With an operating area of 1900 square meters, it has 2 floors. On its first floor, there displayed many M&M’s peripheral products such as clothes, souvenirs, and collections. Then, on the second floor, what will you see? The M&M’s chocolate wall! There are 138 glass jars filled with various tastes of chocolates in 22 different colors. Although bulk chocolates they are, their production time and ingredient are distinctly indicated, so you could be assured to buy. I believe you will enjoy a pleasant time while shopping and entertaining in the M&M’s World Store! 

Along with the Nanjing East Road, we will go to the Bund that extends 1500 meters. Here, you will see the HSBC Building (today’s Shanghai Pudong Development Bank), the largest building on the Bund. There are 16 statues with Greek-style engraved in the vault of the HSBC Building, and each statue is a different goddess in costumes. Look upward! Helios driving a golden carriage is catching her sister Artemis. Ceres is holding the cornucopia filled with grains and fruits, which is a symbol of a fruitful harvest. Visiting the HSBC Building, you will be amazed by its grandeur and gorgeousness. Besides, a visit to the Custom House, Shanghai Club, or Huangpu Park also serves as good recommendations for you! And you could take photos with these historical buildings while wandering on the Bund. If you share them on your Twitter, I believe you will have a lot of new followers! Stop hesitating and come to explore the fascinating Bund!

There are exquisite reliefs on the door, and the content of the reliefs are ancient Chinese myths, legends, and historical stories. The Shibaozhia Pagoda is built along a boulder, which people often said is a magical stone that Nvwa (a goddess in the Chinese ancient legend) left when mending the cracks in the sky after melting five-colored stones. And its name “Shibaozhai” comes from this story. Shibao means precious stone. 

Next, you will come to the Fengdu “Ghost City”, which has a history of 2000 years. As one of the renowned cultural attractions along with the Yangtze River, it is a folk culture treasure house that integrates Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

Do you want to know what does Chinese death look like? You will find the answer here in the Fengdu “Ghost City”. Besides, I recommend you to taste the spicy chicken here, which is the specialty in the Fengdu “Ghost City”.

This morning, we will go to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. It is one of the main research bases carried out by the Chinese government to protect endangered animals. Pandas are so gentle and docile that they always hide faces when meeting people at the first sight. However, after being a mother, pandas always lose the lady image and do their best to protect babies. Here you can see the baby panda in the panda delivery room. You will find that the baby panda is not black and white. They are gray and white. And their grey fur will turn black when they grow up. In addition, I’d like to share China’s panda diplomacy with you. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the female emperor Wu Zetian gave 2 pandas as gifts to Japan. And in 1972, the Chinese former premier Zhou Enlai gave pandas-”Lingling” and “Xingxing”-as national gifts to America. Panda diplomacy has reflected China’s peaceful diplomatic policy since ancient times. 

After lunch, you will head to the airport and take the estimated flight TV9873 15:45/18:10 to Lhasa. After arrival, the local guide will meet you and accompany you to the hotel.

Our first stop in Lhasa is the Potala Palace, one of the cultural heritages in the world. As the pearl at the Roof of the World, it is known for its palaces, paintings, and sculptures.

He developed agriculture and animal husbandry, enacted laws and regulations, improved the taxation system, contributing a lot to the comprehensive development of Tubo’s politics, economy, and culture. Also, he introduced Buddhism from Chang’an and India to Tibet. After getting married to Princess Wencheng who is from the Tang Dynasty, he exchanged a lot with the Tang Dynasty in culture, economy, and other aspects, which strengthened the mutual exchanges between Tibet and the Han minority. The picture of Potala Palace is printed on the backside of the Chinese banknote 50 RMB. Standing in front of the palace, you could take a selfie with a banknote in hand. And if you share it on your Facebook, your friends will admire your journey a lot!

So, the Norbulingka is also known as the botanical garden. 

After visiting the Norbulingka, we will visit the Drepung Monastery. It is one of the three great monasteries in Tibet, and the other two are Sera Monastery and Gandan Monastery. “Drepung” means “rice pile” in Tibetan, having a symbol of prosperity and harvest. The main buildings in the Drepung Monastery include Tantra Hall, Main Assembly Hall, and Ganden Potrang, etc. There will be religious activities at different festivals in the Drepung Monastery. Here, I’d like to introduce the Sho Dun Festival to you. The festival starts with the display of Thangka. Thangka refers to religious scroll paintings hung and enshrined in the monastery after being mounted on colored satin.

Over ten thousand golden Buddha statues are preserved here, and the most famous one is the Hayagriva King Kong Buddha Statue. It is one of the incarnations of Kwan-yin Bodhisattva to help people overcome difficulties. Unlike the motherly-looking of Kwan-yin, the Hayagriva King Kong Buddha Statue looks ferocious. However, the looking is not to frighten people but to frighten the demons. Almost all people who walk into the Sera Monastery, no matter common tourists or pilgrims, touch the base of the statue to show respect to the Buddha and pray for happiness. Come to see the famous Hayagriva King Kong Buddha Statue in person!

After breakfast, you need to check out at the hotel. And then you will take the estimated flight MU9620 11:20/14:20 to Xi’an, the provincial capital of Shaanxi.

There are 4 battle formations in the Pit No.2, including more than 1300 terracotta soldiers and horses, over 80 war chariots, and tens of thousands of bronze weapons. Pit No.3 is the headquarter of the entire army. Covering around 5,000 square meters. Pit No.4 is filled up without soldiers or weapons. Some experts speculate that the terracotta warriors in Pit No.4 were not completed due to war and other reasons. The unearthing of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum has enabled experts and scholars to have a new insight into the sculptural arts over 2 thousand years ago. Today, let’s unlock the mysteries of the warriors and horses together! 

After lunch, we will come to the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It was rebuilt five times. At first, it had 5-floor, 60-meter tall that intimated India’s famous Bodhgaya Pagoda. Then, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty decided to rebuild it to help the pagoda harmonize with the buildings in Chang’an City (now Xi’an). So, it was heightened to 9 floors. After that, Emperor Wu Zetian broke the conventional height of pagodas in the Tang Dynasty and heightened it to 10-floor. Next, the pagoda was reconstructed to 7-floor in 931. And it collapsed after several earthquakes. Finally, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was well repaired and strengthened. Having maintained its shape, the craftsmen built an outer wall with bricks of 60-centimeter. Covering 2,061 square meters, it is 64.5 meters tall. And that is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda that we see today. 

What’s our next stop? That’s the City Wall! The majestic City Wall built in the Ming Dynasty stretches 13.74 kilometers. And it is an internet-famous sightseeing landscape in Xi’an. Around the outside of the City Wall, there are 98 protruding ramparts in every 120-meter, and each of them has 20-meter width. The 98 protruding ramparts as well as 5984 crenels make the outside of the wall a zigzag. Besides, riding a bike on the City Wall serves as a good recommendation! And you could choose a tandem bicycle if you come here with friends. If you share the beautiful scenery and nice moment by posting a short video on your Tik Tok, you will get lots of followers!

Eunuch refers to the male servicemen who enter the imperial palace after being castrated, and they served the emperor and the royal family in ancient times. Compared to maids, eunuchs could do heavier work and they cannot commit adultery with the concubines. Do you know the eunuch who has a strong power in the Qing Dynasty?

Besides, the professional guide will share with you more about the Temple of Heaven when you visit here. While visiting, you will see lots of people doing Taichi here.
