A travel agency in Shenyang, Liaoning province, has included a visit to Shanghai's infamous Lotus Riverside residential complex, where a building collapsed last month, in a tour package.

The six-day itinerary includes visits to several tourist attractions in East China, with a tour of the Lotus Riverside on the last day to show tourists the result of "blind greed", according to the travel agency.

On June 27, an under-construction building in the posh residential complex fell to its side, almost intact, killing one worker, with many netizens calling the collapsed structure the "ninth wonder of the world".

More than 500 Shenyang residents called the agency to enquire about the tour package the day it was made public.
