Day 3 Milan Italy 9 day trip 7 Dec-18th Dec)

Welcome to Milan, Capital of Italy’sfinance and fashion industries. 


Start our day with a tour in Milan. Its origins are believed to be Celtic but it was conquered by Romans in 222 BC and became a major trading and transport centre. From the 13th Century, the city flourished under the rules of two powerful families – the Visconti followed by the Storza. Uponarrival, we started our half day sightseeing in Milan which brings us to the Gothic Cathedral and the famous La Scala Opera House. 

We visited the shop at the famous 19th century Gallery Victor Emmanuel 2nd a large glass-roofed building often called the living room of Milan, enhanced by the elegance of some of Milan’s finest stores. Beware! There are always people stand by the side of the shopping area. They tend to ask you for donation to buy their friendship bands, roses or sign petition!

Not to be missed is the Milan Duomo, which is the core of Milan!

Inside is safer as there are only pick pockets and these people who asked for do actions are kept outside!

After breakfast, we went to stroll West Lake Sceanic Area and enjoy Viewing fish at Flower Harbor.  The "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon" (三潭印月) is a famous structure in West Lake, Hangzhou, China, known for its unique and captivating scenery. It consists of three small, gourd-shaped stone pagodas placed in the water, each about two meters tall, that create the illusion of multiple moons reflecting in the lake during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The pagodas have five small, round holes that, when illuminated by candles or lanterns, cast the light onto the water, creating the effect of multiple reflections, especially on the clear water surface.  Before dinner, we went to see a Large-scale song and dance show, the symbolic performance of Hangzhou- 宋城千古情 Them we were given some time to take photo in the Song Dynasty Set-up.
