6 Days Shanghai,Hangzhou and Suzhou Tour
Originally, Shanghai was a seaside fishing village and with time, became China's most prominent city. By the 20th century, Shanghai became the center of popular culture, intellectual discourse and political intrigue in the Republic of China. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, Shanghai was considered the largest commercial city in the Far East, and the third largest financial center in the world, ranking after New York City and London.
Modern Shanghai blends skyscrapers and historic architecture, while nearby Hangzhou, known as "Heaven on Earth", enchants visitors with the UNESCO World Heritage Site West Lake. Suzhou, the "Venice of the East", is famed for its classical gardens and ancient water towns like Tongli.
This tour offers three key highlights: modern city views, timeless natural landscapes, and authentic water town experiences. A wide variety of cuisines can be found along the route, from Shanghai's local snacks to Hangzhou's tea-infused dishes and Suzhou's delicate pastries, offering a taste of East China's diverse culinary traditions.
