Highlights
- Guangfulin Ancient Relics Park - Your friendly local guide and driver will pick you up from your Shanghai hotel. Follow a recommended tour of Songjiang, visiting the following sites, but feel free to inform your guide if you wish to make any changes. First, visit the Guangfulin Ancient Relics Park, a theme park featuring captivating art and architecture in a farmland setting. Here, you will enjoy exploring local-style houses, temples, markets, flowers, and more with your guide. Don’t miss the fascinating “underwater museum” that showcases the history of Songjiang and Shanghai from 6000 years ago to the last century. Next, stop at Shimao Wonderland, developed from an abandoned quarry. This architectural marvel, designed by British architect Martin Jochman, is a breakthrough in engineering and design, initially conceived by the same British firm that designed the iconic Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai. Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast or not, you’ll be impressed by the design that took over 12 years to complete.
