From £1399 including flights

Tour Code: SE13

Join China Holidays on one of three special departures visiting the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and the beautiful sights of the lower Yangtze River , together with China Eastern Airlines.

Shanghai 2010 Expo - The Expo is a platform for countries around the world to promote and inform visitors of their contributions of the modern ages.  Each country’s Pavilion has its individual and unique characteristics.  The Chinese Pavilion is designed with the concept of an Oriental Crown, and can be seen as an inverted pagoda.  The UK Pavilion was developed by Thomas Heatherwick.  Its most prominent feature are some 60,000 transparent rods that act as glow-in-the-dark optic fibres.  At night, the glow emanating from the rods resembles a cathedral of light.

Shanghai - Queen of the Orient, Shanghai is China ’s biggest city.  Bursting at the seams with interesting diversions both old and new, the 2010 Expo has brought another reason to visit this year.  Shanghai Museum is generally regarded as Chinas best indoor museum.
