4 DAYS SUZHOU ZHOUZHUANG HANGZHOU SHANGHAI TOUR
Suzhou -- Suzhou is a 2,500-year old city famous for its numerous
private gardens in the classic style, some dating 400 years or so to
the Ming Dynasty(1368---1644). Also a center of silk production, the
city makes a dazzling variety of silk products for home and overseas
consumption. Along with Shanghai to the east, Wuxi to the west and
Hangzhou to the south, Suzhou makes one of the fastest-growing areas
in China's economy and education.

Zhouzhuang -- Like a lotus on the water, the town is surrounded and
bisected by rivers. Sitting on the boat, one may enjoying the scene
between bridges and feel the interest of a water township which offers
a quiet and simple life.

Hangzhou -- Famous for its scenic beauty, Hangzhou is regarded as
"Paradise On Earth". Historically as one of seven famous ancient
capital cities in China, Hangzhou is a major destination of tourism
and ancient civilization.

Shanghai-- A fishing-village-turned metropolis, Shanghai offers one of
the best examples where the east meets the west, the Chinese meets the
foreign, and the traditional meets the modern. The city equals many of
the world's metropolises in terms of the pace of life and the speed of
change. A Los Angeles Times report in Sept.2001 says that, attracted
by Shanghai's glitz, more than 300,000 Taiwanese, mostly
businesspeople, have settled down in the city in recent years.
