Shanghai will develop three tour packages for visitors who may want to see more of China when they come to the city for World Expo 2010, a local deputy to the National People's Congress said yesterday.

The packages will cover the Yangtze River Delta region and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, local NPC deputy Wang Zhan said yesterday in Beijing.

Although the finer details of each package have yet to be worked out, Wang said the first package will include trips to other cities in the Yangtze River Delta region. The second package will include all the scenic spots along the Grand Canal, the oldest and longest man-made canal in the country.
