About Your Trip
Start a dream-like trip in China’s old Jiangnan area - where old water towns tell stories of long past times, bright gardens grow, and new cities shine bright. Move through Zhouzhuang’s bright canals on a small boat, known as the “East Venice” for its old bridges and stone paths. Look at Hangzhou’s West Lake, a world-known place with soft mist, where you can see the “Hangzhou, Living Poetry” show that left world leaders in awe. In Suzhou, get lost in the Humble Administrator’s Garden, a place from the 1500s with buildings and water ponds that show the beauty of old Chinese gardens. Then, speed to the future on Shanghai’s fast train, drink tea in a Hangzhou tea farm, and see the bright city from the high Oriental Pearl Tower. Stay in places like the Four Seasons Hangzhou and enjoy this trip with no stops for shopping. It mixes comfort, culture, and calm travel—great for those who love old cities and new sights.
