US travel agents explore tourism opportunities

SHANGHAI — During her first visit to China, Jennifer Chernay, a travel consultant from the United States, posed for photos on a bench along the winding corridor of the Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai, holding a stuffed panda.

The garden Chernay visited has many attractions, including traditional Chinese pavilions, greenery, ponds and views of the skyscrapers in Shanghai's financial zone.

"Yuyuan Garden is a place where tradition meets modernity. I like it," says Chernay, who works at Kahala Travel.
