Enjoy a light vegetarian lunch in a calm setting, offering a refreshing pause in the middle of the day.

Then, visit the peaceful Jade Buddha Temple, known for its serene atmosphere and exquisite jade statues.

  • u003cemu003eu003cemu003eWe visited both Xi’an and Shanghai under Jiuhong’s arrangement and received the same first-class service in both cities. The guides were knowledgeable, flexible, and happy to discuss all aspects of modern China — giving insights difficult to obtain elsewhere. Strongly recommended.u003c/emu003eu003c/emu003e
