Shanghai Expo Value-for-Money Free & Easy Tour, Starting from NT$14,899 for a 3-Day/2-Night Trip

Following the Beijing Olympics, another international event expected to capture global attention — the "2010 Shanghai World Expo" — is about to make its grand debut in mainland China. This world exposition, gathering a total of 242 countries and international organizations from around the globe, allows you to explore its various pavilions showcasing the latest and most dazzling exhibits, as if traveling around the world, offering a chance to examine and reflect on the present and future of human urban life.

The marketing battle for Shanghai Expo tourism has officially begun. Following the early bird pre-sale discounts available until the end of March, Lion Travel and Taishin Bank have jointly launched the “Shanghai Expo Value-for-Money Free & Easy Tour,” exclusively for Taishin cardholders. Excluding taxes, the price starts from NT$14,899 (taxes are approximately NT$2,400), and the package includes flights, hotel accommodation, and Expo tickets worth NT$800. With the concept of “caring for every leg of your journey,” Taishin cardholders can also enjoy five exclusive value-added services: dedicated airport pick-up and drop-off in Shanghai, round-trip transfers to and from the Expo site, professional on-site Expo guided tours, fast-track entry at the Expo venue, and a dedicated hotline for local Shanghai travel inquiries.

Shanghai is a city that blends the ancient and the modern. The contrast of Shanghai’s beauty and the grand scale of the Expo make the 2010 Shanghai World Expo a must-visit travel destination. The collaboration between Lion Travel and Taishin Bank initially offers an attractively priced value-for-money free & easy tour to draw more travelers, allowing them to witness the Expo event participated in by 242 countries and to experience the green technology showcased by each nation, discovering even more of Shanghai’s unique charm.

The itinerary design of this “Shanghai Expo Value-for-Money Free & Easy Tour” targets travelers who wish to visit Shanghai at an affordable price and within a short trip duration to catch a glimpse of the Expo. Therefore, the flights are direct to Shanghai with single-entry itineraries (using FIT tickets, not group tickets), and include accommodations in downtown Shanghai hotels that are in high demand during the Expo period, such as the Ramada located in the heart of the Wujiaochang business district and the Yashe Hotel in Xuhui District — both offering convenient access for shopping and transportation.

The Shanghai Expo free & easy tour promotion runs from March 18 to October 20. During this period, Lion Travel will continue to collaborate with Taishin Bank to tailor in-depth theme tours for different levels of cardholders, using ecology, art, and architecture as unique ways to appreciate the beauty of Shanghai.
