What you can expect

Discover the picturesque Chinese towns of Suzhou and Zhouzhuang on a private tour that shows you the unique sights of each. Explore ancient canals, historic buildings, gardens, and traditional architecture as you get to know some of the oldest settlements in the Yangtze basin.

Meet your personal guide and ride out of Shanghai in a comfortable private vehicle. Your first stop is the bustling city of Suzhou, where you can see the network of interconnected waterways that led it to be called the “Venice of the East.” With a history dating back to 600 BC, the city features a collection of celebrated classical gardens recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After a visit to the Master of Nets Garden, the Silk Embroidery Research Institute, the Grand Canal, and a silk factory, stop for lunch before you travel to the village of Zhouzhuang, known for its beautiful natural environment and simple architecture. Most residences were built during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and this community has remained remarkably well-preserved for more than 900 years.

Take a boat through the city's waterways for a look at some of the classic dwellings before you return to Shanghai.
