About this route
A flexible starting idea for a personal journey through Shanghai, Suzhou & Hangzhou. Each stop brings a different side of China, with time for both well-known sights and local life.
Shanghai
See the Bund and Pudong skyline, then explore Yu Garden, museums and the streets around Xuhui. Shanghai also connects easily with separate stays in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Neighborhood Shanghai
Wukang Road → Xuhui streets or a selected museum
Let cafés, architecture and one cultural stop set the pace.
Build in a separate arrival or onward-travel block. The right number of nights depends on which visits you choose and your actual flight or train connections.
Suzhou
Explore classical gardens, canals and historic streets. Give one garden a substantial visit, then add Pingjiang Road, a museum or a local meal instead of rushing between several gardens.
One garden and a canal neighborhood
Humble Administrator's Garden or Lion Grove → Pingjiang Road
Pick one substantial garden, leave room for lunch and use the canal lanes as the second chapter.
Western heritage outing
Lingering Garden or Tiger Hill → Shantang area
Choose the main attraction around your group's walking needs, then keep the evening flexible.
Build in a separate arrival or onward-travel block. The right number of nights depends on which visits you choose and your actual flight or train connections.

A lake-and-old-city day
A selected West Lake shore → Wushan or Hefang Street
