Shanghai Offers New Transportation Options for Expo 2010 Visitors

BEIJING, April 21 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Travelers headed to this year's 2010 World Expo will surely take time to explore the city of Shanghai as well as the park festivities. The China Guide (http://www.TheChinaGuide.com ), a trendy China travel company, knows that visitors to Shanghai this summer will have different touring styles and they are offering the best advice and tours for taking in all the sights.

One example of The China Guide's difference is they suggest viewing the city from the bar on the 88th floor of the Grand Hyatt where you can enjoy a drink while gazing rather than crowding into the Pearl TV Tower.

The China Guide offers complete 2- and 3-day tour packages that include the best city sights as well as a full day at the Expo grounds. Guests will have an experience that embraces the city's history, cuisine and culture as well as an introduction to the modern elements. The China Guide's quality western-style service is also being offered at budget prices to match all travelers' needs, especially families and large groups.

Visitors who want to combine city tours with some independent exploring can take advantage of the Expo's new city transport system. The system will be up and running by opening day and includes a subway line to the park and bus and ferry service, making it easy for visitors to get around the city and find their way to the Expo from a number of areas. The majority of transport services will be offered free of charge or at a small cost.

"We want to have a selection of options that will work with a variety of travel preferences," says Peter Danford, Managing Director of The China Guide. "We have all-inclusive tour packages so that guests don't have to worry about any planning, just relaxing and taking in the city. This is a great option for families with small children. And for guests who want a bit of self-discovery in the city, we can customize tours for specific or unique sights and they can then utilize the city transport system to easily get to the Expo."
