The most beautiful city of Shanghai

5.00We had a most wonderful experience in Shanghai with a great help of our amazing tour guide Peggy that works for Jenny’s China tours. She is the most experienced and knowledgeable guide and we will definitely recommend her and the company to all of our friends and family. Besides the great tour she introduced us to Shanghai’s pan fried pork dumplings from Yang dumplings restaurant,and as soon as U returned to Pittsburgh I researched to find similar place near by. I will definitely return to Shanghai that became my favorite city in Asia,and I’ve visited quite a few countries there.
Highly recommend. Peggy...
