We will enjoy a morning walk through Zhabei Park, Shanghai's oldest and most beautiful local park. Every day performers, artists, and martial arts practitioners descend on the park. Each area of the park bustles with different types of activities such as tai chi, ballroom dancing, calisthenics, and music performances.

After our walk in the park, we will visit the city's first and biggest wholesale tea market, where we can find over 2000 tea shops and all kinds of high-quality, traditional Chinese art and gifts. We will enjoy a tea tasting and a brief discussion of tea’s history and health benefits, learn how experts judge good quality tea by examining its leaves, and then compare and contrast by sight, smell, and taste.
