The
2008 Beijing Olympic Games introduced the world to modern
China, its creativity and the warm and gracious
hospitality of the Chinese people. The legacy of the games
remains in , high standards of service, plush, comfortable
accommodations, and the desire to showcase China‘s
natural and man-made beauty. We’re delighted to offer
you an extraordinary Passover experience in this amazing
country!
We
will host you at the luxurious Five Star Vaton Yungi Resort Hotel
in Hangzhou, about one hundred miles from Shanghai.
A sister city of Bet Shemesh in Israel, and Boston MA in the
USA, Hangzhou is one China’s best known tourism cities.
Famous for its natural beauty, history, and cultural heritage,
Hangzhou, a city of over 6 million residents, is located on the
Qiangtang River, in the Yangtze Delta.

from where the Song Dynasty ruled during the 12th and 13th
centuries.
Places

West Lake, a man-made lake offering numerous water sports
and activities; the oldest working “Chinese Medicine“ pharmacy
and museum; streets with quaint shops; a village built on
canals and recently restored as a living museum demonstrating
the skills and crafts of Southeastern China; the 2000 year
old Grand Canal, the water highway from southern to northern
China; and the mystical city of Suzhou known for its famous
gardens, canals and gondolas (associated with the visit of
Marco Polo). The Song Dynasty Show- a theatrical production
that dazzlea visitors to China as it recreates architecture
and culture going back 900 years. During Hol HaMoed, our

spectacular attractions.
