Day By Day
A clear route, made flexible.
This is a starting framework rather than a fixed group schedule. Hotels, pacing, experiences and transport can be adjusted around your arrival city and travel style.
- Day 01
Arrive in Shanghai
Private pickup from Pudong or Hongqiao and transfer to a centrally located hotel. If arrival time allows, take an easy first walk along the Bund as the skyline lights begin to appear across the Huangpu River.
Overnight · Shanghai - Day 02
Old lanes and a future-facing skyline
Explore Yu Garden and the old-city area before moving into quieter streets of the former French Concession. Finish with the Bund and a selected viewpoint or river experience, keeping enough free time for Shanghai's dining and design scene.
Overnight · Shanghai - Day 03
Classical Suzhou
Travel by private vehicle to Suzhou for the Humble Administrator's Garden, Tiger Hill and Shantang Street. A short canal boat ride introduces the city's waterside neighborhoods before checking into the Suzhou hotel.
Overnight · Suzhou - Day 04
Suzhou to Wuzhen
Spend a quieter morning with a selected Suzhou garden or craft tradition, then continue to Wuzhen. Staying inside or immediately beside the protected water-town area allows the family to experience its bridges and canals after most day visitors leave.
Overnight · Wuzhen - Day 05
Water town to West Lake
Enjoy Wuzhen in the softer morning light before driving to Hangzhou. Walk a scenic section of West Lake, take a private or shared lake boat according to the selected package, and settle into the slower rhythm of the city.
Overnight · Hangzhou - Day 06
Tea country and Hangzhou culture
Visit Longjing tea country for a landscape walk and an introduction to local tea, followed by Lingyin Temple or an alternative such as Xixi Wetland. The day's order remains flexible around weather, mobility and personal interests.
Overnight · Hangzhou - Day 07
Departure
Private transfer to Hangzhou airport or railway station. A return transfer to Shanghai can be arranged when required and will be costed according to the chosen flight or rail schedule.
