Vi kjem til Xian med natttoget frå Beijing. Ei
flott og spesiell oppleving. Vi et frukost før vi
tek til på “synfaring” i denne spesielle byen,
Keisarby og hovudstad i fleire hundre år. Byen
ligg mellom Beijing og Shanghai, men lengre
inn i landet.
Xian er i dag mest kjend for dei store
utgravingane etter funna som vart gjort der
1974. Nokre kinesiske bønder på ein
kollektivfarm dreiv og grov ein brønn, då dei
støtte mot noe hardt. Det viste seg å vere den
underjordiske terrakottahæren til Kinas første
keisar, Qin Shi Huang (221 – 206 f. Kr). Ein hær på 6000 mann med hestar og stridsvogner. Noko av det er
utgreve og synleg for oss.

WELCOME TO SHANGHAI
The most dynamic
city in the world’s fastest- changing nation, Shanghai is an exhilarating, ever-morphing metropolis that isn’t
just living China’s dream, but is setting the pace for the rest of the world. With a population of more than 23
million, Shanghai is the largest and most developed city in China. Shanghai was where China first met the West
and it’s still a frontier town, obsessed with the latest fads, fashions and technology. In the past 20 years
Shanghai has become an attractive city for tourists from all over the world.

Shanghai (B, L, D)
Breakfast at leisure at hotel
Morning visiting the Bund, Yu Garden and the Old Town of Shanghai
The Bund is a famous waterfront and regarded as the
symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years. It is on the west
bank of Huangpu River, once was the financial center of the
Far East. It is often referred to as "The Museum of
Buildings", as many different styles of European buildings
can be found here. Now it is even more attractive as you can
also see modern skyscrapers just opposite the Huangpu
River. That gives you a strong contrast between modern life
and the past.
Yu Garden, a place of peace and comfort in the heart of
bustling Shanghai, dates back to the fabled Ming Dynasty.
Now a popular tourist destination, Yu Garden began as a
private garden created by Pan Yunduan, who spent almost
20 years - and all of his savings - to build a garden in order
to please his parents in their old age. The garden is called
"Yu Garden" because "Yu" in Chinese means "peace and
health".
Free time in the Old Town
Lunch at Chinese restaurant
Afternoon visiting the Fabric Market and Nanjing Rd.
The famous Shanghai Fabric Market is home to
hundreds of tailors and seamstresses, and is the city's
prime destination for bespoke clothing garments. If it
can be stitched and sewn, they can do it for you at the
South Bund Fabric Market.
China's premier shopping street, 5-kms-long Nanjing
Road, starts at the Bund in the east and ends in the
west at the Jing'an Temple. Nanjing Road is the most
bustling and prosperous pedestrian commercial street
in the city. With majestic buildings, various shops,
mixed streams of people and splendid night scene, it is
a must-visit for travelers from all over the world to
Shanghai.

Morning taking the Maglev Train and visiting the Shanghai World Financial Center
The Shanghai Maglev Train is a magnetic levitation
train that operates in Shanghai. It is notable for being
the first commercial high-speed magnetic levitation line
in the world. During a non-commercial test run on 12
November 2003, a maglev train achieved a Chinese
record speed of 501 km/h (311 mph). The train line was
designed to connect Shanghai Pudong International
Airport and the outskirts of central Pudong where
passengers could interchange to the Shanghai Metro to
continue their trip to the city center. Public commercial
service commenced on 1 January 2004. The top operational commercial speed of this train is 431 km/h
(268 mph), making it the world's fastest train in regular commercial services since its opening in 2004, faster
than previous record holder at 367 km/h (228 mph) with TGV in France and also faster than the latest CRH
conventional wheel train in China at 350 km/h (217 mph).
The Shanghai World Financial Center is a super tall
skyscraper in Pudong, Shanghai, designed by Kohn
Pedersen Fox. It is a mixed use skyscraper which consists
of offices, hotels, conference rooms, observation decks
and shopping malls on the ground floors. Soaring 474
meters above the ground, the 100th floor observation
deck provides a spectacular view of downtown Shanghai
and the Huangpu River below.
Transfer to the Chinese restaurant for lunch
Afternoon visiting the French Concession, Fuxing Park and Shanghai Museum
The French Concession was the earliest, biggest and
most prosperous Concession in Shanghai. This area is the
premier residential and retail districts of Shanghai. It is
also a very popular tourist destination for both Chinese
and foreigners. With its peaceful, picturesque, tree lined
streets, this area retains an air of the "Paris of the East".
At the same time, many of the small backstreets still have
a very local feel. Xintiandi and Shanghai art
street Tianzifang are also in French Concession. Walking
around these two places, you can get an idea of
traditional Shanghai lifestyle, as well as enjoy Shanghai
traditional buildings.
As a museum of ancient Chinese art, Shanghai Museum
possesses a collection of 120,000 precious works of art.
Its rich and high-quality collection of ancient Chinese
bronze, ceramics, painting and calligraphy is specially
celebrated in the world. Founded and first open to the
public in the building previously of the horseracing club
in 1952, the museum developed very quickly in aspects
of acquisition, conservation, research, exhibition,
education and cultural exchanges with other institutes.
In 1996. The 29.5 meters high new building has a
construction space of 39,200 square meters. Its unique
architectural form of a round top with a square base,
symbolizing the ancient Chinese philosophy that the square earth is under the round sky, is a distinguished
architectural combination of traditional feature and modern spirit. The present Shanghai Museum has eleven
galleries and three special temporary exhibition halls. It extends warm welcome to the visitors from all over
the world.
Transfer back to the hotel and rest
Transfer to the Chinese restaurant for dinner followed by ERA show
The Multimedia Theatrical Spectacular ERA Intersection
of Time has been performed since its debut at Shanghai
Circus World in September 2005. It is in fact a stunning
acrobatic show combining traditional Chinese arts and
modern technologies. The performers present Chinese
acrobatics, martial arts and dance perfectly in harmony
with the music, sound, lighting, and other special effects,
which include a water screen.

Shanghai (B, L, D)
Breakfast at leisure at hotel
Morning visiting the Moore Church, People’s Park and Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center
The Moore Church (also known as The Mu'en
Church), located in Shanghai downtown, was
originally the Methodist church of Shanghai. First
established in 1887, the church was formerly named
the Moore Church to memorize the great American
donator Moore. The church was a new gothic church
designed by a European architect. The construction
was completed in 1931. It features a brick-and-wood
structure. It has a big lobby, and the central part is
the main body of the church. It can accommodate
about 1,000 people. The rectangle pillars in the hall, the balusters in the balcony, and the bema are
covered with artificial stones. The concrete ribbed vault can be seen inside the church.
Occupying the site of the colonial racetrack, People’s
Park with its Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art and
pond-side bar, Barbarossa are all overlooked by
Tomorrow Square and the Shanghai Art Museum. On
weekend mornings an unofficial matchmaking market is
held here, where parents show up with their children’s
CVs (but without the children) in an attempt to find a
suitably successful spouse.
Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center is located in
the People’s Square. The design of the building is
inspired by the traditional Chinese city gate. The modern
central symmetric structure shows the aesthetic concept
of China’s traditional architecture. And the grid roof of
the building symbolizes Shanghai’s city flower magnolia.
It is one of the most popular tourist attractions of
Shanghai. Themed on “City, Citizens, Environment, and
Development”, the Center displays the past, present and
future of Shanghai by traditional and modern displaying
means. It is regarded as the “Window of the City” where
people can know about Shanghai.
