Shanghai Tours
Shanghai, the metropolis, is called “Mo Du (魔都)” by Chinese people. Mo means ambition and Du means metropolis.
Many people are familiar with the spectacular riverside of the Bund and the ambitious skyline of Pudong. But they often overlook the city’s soft side. If Shanghai is like an elegant lady, water towns are her tenderness. They preserve an ancient atmosphere that is unique to China.
