Before we get to Shanghai we stop in the beautiful city of Suzhou. First we tour a beautiful Botanical Garden. Then it's off to a Silk Factory where we learn everything about silk -- from gathering the silk from the worms to creating quilts, clothing and even art from the finished and dyed silk. The next day we take a boat ride on the Grand Canals. You can see why Suzhou is called "the Venice of the East". And finally, we ride a bus into Shanghai.

Due to its unique location, the town has escaped war and plunder as only the local inhabitants knew their way around the labyrinth-like canals that once led into the small town.

Known as the Venice of the Far East, Lijiang is an historic old Chinese town in the northwest province of Yunnan. It was the centre of the Nakhi, a Tibetan-Tobirmanic nation that had an impressive and unique culture. Dayan, Lijiang's old town, contains an intriguing variety of canals and waterways. It developed at the beginning of the 12th century, during the Late Song epoch. The picturesque centre of the old town of Dayan is an architectural jewel. Numerous streams and three rivers flow through the historic part of the town and there are several beautiful stone bridges that date back to the time of both the Ming and Qing dynasties. For over 470 wonderful years of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties each of the Naxi rulers came from the Mu family and for more than 22 generations life in and around Lijiang was led by this family until in 1723 the Qing Dynasty appointed a new government, thus the Mu era came to an end.
