🧭 Itinerary

Shanghai Arrival

Welcome to China! To ensure your arrival is stress-free, your private tour guide will meet you in the arrivals hall and transfer you to your hotel in a private car. Your luggage and hotel check-in will be taken care of.

Shanghai to Huangshan | The Painted Village

Breakfast & Lunch Hop on a high speed train from Shanghai to Huangshan within 3 hours. After arrival, head to Hongcun, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed village that offers a captivating glimpse into traditional Chinese rural life. Its nickname, "a village in a Chinese painting," explains its attraction. Hongcun 's most distinctive feature is its brilliant and meticulous design based on Feng Shui principles. The entire village is laid out in the shape of a water buffalo. And the most iconic and photographed spot in the village is the Moon Pond, which is surrounded by traditional Hui-style houses with their white walls and black tile roofs.

Huangshan | Heavenly Peaks

Breakfast & Lunch Spring is the best time to visit Huangshan with mild temperatures. It brings the mountains to life with a vibrant array of colors. And the increased rainfall makes it a prime time to witness the spectacular "sea of clouds" phenomenon. You will take a cable car to the top of the Yellow Mountain. The blooming flowers and lush greenery are the highlights. You will see the flowers like rhododendrons, witch hazel, and magnolia throughout the trails. The West Sea Grand Canyon is known for its dramatic and challenging hiking trails built into the sheer cliffs. The trails are particularly beautiful in spring, as the views of deep gorges, unique stone forests, and the surrounding peaks are enhanced by the misty atmosphere.

Huangshan | Sea of Clouds

Breakfast & Lunch Witnessing the sunrise over Huangshan is a truly magical experience. As the first light breaks the horizon, the granite peaks gradually emerge from the shadows, bathed in a stunning interplay of light and mist. After enjoying this breathtaking view, have a hearty breakfast before setting off on a hike to the Beginning-to-Believe Peak, famed for its uniquely shaped pines and panoramic scenery. You may also wish to explore Lion Peak and other remarkable spots that offer breathtaking views. Your guide will make arrangements according to your request and physical ability.

Huangshan to Wuyuan | Huangling Awakens

Breakfast & Lunch Driving for an hour, you will arrive at Huangling village in Wuyuan, whose landscape transforms into a stunning spectacle of colors in spring. With its stunning combination of ancient villages, misty mountains, and vibrant flower fields, Huangling is a paradise for photographers. The village is perched on a mountaintop, and the terraced fields that cascade down the slopes are blanketed in vibrant yellow blooms. With a scenic cable car ride, you will fully appreciate the magnificent panoramic view.

Wuyuan to Shanghai | Colors of Spring

Breakfast & Lunch Set out early in the morning for Jiangling, the "ace spot" in Wuyuan to admire the golden seas of rape flowers. From one of the viewing platforms, you'll enjoy sweeping panoramas of terraced fields, ancient Hui-style villages with their signature white walls and black-tiled roofs, and distant misty mountains. After lunch, board a high-speed train bound for Shanghai. Your dedicated tour guide will pick you up to the hotel.

Shanghai to Suzhou | Gardens & Hills

Breakfast & Lunch Today's travel to Suzhou takes just one hour by car. Suzhou is renowned for its classical gardens, which embody the quiet strength of ancient Chinese culture. The Lingering Garden is especially noted for having the most buildings, displaying superb craftsmanship and a seamless integration of space. A stroll down Pingjiang Road feels like a step back in time. The stone-paved lanes and canals reflect the charm of the old city. You will ride a three-wheeled rickshaw to navigate the narrow streets, passing ancient bridges, teahouses, and street food stalls. Visiting Tiger Hill is like walking through a living scroll of history. The path winds gently upward, shaded by ancient trees, leading to the summit where the leaning Tiger Hill Pagoda stands proudly. After the day trip, return to Shanghai for accommodation.

Shanghai | Among the Icons

Breakfast & Lunch Zhujiajiao's tranquil scenery and rich heritage offer a charming escape outside Shanghai. You will stroll in this picturesque water town with canals, stone bridges, and traditional architecture. You will be back downtown before lunch. The afternoon journey begins with the world's fastest elevator whisking you to the top of Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China. Enjoy the panoramic views that stretch across Shanghai's dynamic skyline. Then, you will be led to the North Bund, which is packed with iconic backdrops and hidden gems. Capture old-world elegance at the Shanghai Postal Museum. Shift from history to modernity at the World Living Room. Take in panoramic city views from the "Little Dome" observation deck. Stop by Tian'an 1000 Trees, a pioneering mixed-use building that is often likened to a modern-day Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Arrive at Nanjing Road to capture the dynamic spirit of Shanghai. The area is filled with shops and stalls, making it a true haven for anyone who loves shopping.
