Shanghai China is for those who love the glitz of a fast pace of city life.

Built on the trade of opium,silk and tea the city is awakening at a rapid pace from its recent past.

It is the pulse of modern China and its quickening beat is thrusting China into the 21st century at a rapid rate. Whether your visit here is part of your Chinese holiday or for business reasons a Jane Yeo tour guide can help you enjoy the very essence of this exciting city. The best times to visit Shanghai are in Spring or Autumn as Winter time the temperatures drop below freezing often coupled with wet grey drizzle and in the height of Summer it is hot and humid.

The authorities know well how much money Shanghai tourism brings into the city and the results are some of the best services in China. Your Jane Yeo tour guide will help you enjoy exploring some of the famous area´s of old Shanghai such as the Bund. The name Shanghai means “by the sea” and the Bund is an Anglo-Indian term for embankment of a muddy waterfront. In the 1920´s the Bund was Shanghai´s Wall Street and fortunes were made and lost here.

The old China City lies on the south western banks of the Hanàngpù Jiàng river, here you can wander amongst a maze of narrow streets through closely packed houses with strings of laundry criss crossing the streets.
