After some strolling and people watching at the park, move on to the Flower and Bird Market where you might get the chance to see a 100-year-old turtle or fighting crickets. Your guide then takes you over to Jade Buddha Temple to see the famous Buddha. Make a stop for lunch at a local restaurant (if option selected) before going to Old Town to catch sight of Confucius Temple. The last portion of your day is spent at Nanjing Road and the Bund (or Riverside Promenade) waterfront area. Explore shops and take in awesome views of the city.
