- "Great"
- This is the second time I have visited China. And I think Shanghai is quite different from Beijing. It is not only modern but also ancient. At first, I was complicated. However, I was gradually fascinated by its scenery. I like the Yuyuan Garden most. In that place did I see many tourists all over the world and it was worthy. Our guide was considerate, educated and also funny. I could easily get the knowledge. I bought a necklace which was made of jade for my mother. And she was greatly satisfied.

- "It’s romantic"
- My girlfriend and I have been working only one year and both of us got tired because of the hard work. So we decided to go to Shanghai to relax ourselves. I think it is a good place for people to live. When we arrived at the Bund, we felt it was romantic. My girlfriend was happy and she said that she would be with me forever. I was moved. We also took the guiding ship to appreciate the scenery around us. When we are going to be married, I want to choose Shanghai to be a place of honeymoon.

- "It’s the same as I have imagined."
- I saw many programs about introducing China. So I wanted to visit this time. I think I made a right choice. The service of China Travel Depot was satisfying and the guide Jim was very knowledgeable and gentle. He was also humorous! We first went to the Bund. It was awesome. I have never seen such a beautiful scene before. And we also visited the Shanghai Old Street. It was the same as I have imagined! I could feel the atmosphere of Qing dynasty. It was impressive.
