Zhouzhuang Water Town

Zhouzhuang is 30 km southeast of Suzhou and one of the most famous water townships in China, noted for its profound cultural background, the well preserved ancient residential houses and the elegant watery views. It has been called the "Venice of the East". Zhouzhuang is surrounded and divided by lakes and rivers. Two twin Bridges, the Shide Bridge and Yongan Bridge were built in the Wanli era (1573-1619) of the Ming Dynasty are considered the symbol of Zhouzhuang.

Gondola Ride

It's the perfect way to experience how local residents traveled for hundreds of years and get an insight into the movement of people and goods that made this little town so prosperous.

Local Delicacy Tasting

Enjoy a range of local treats such as as sticky rice dumplings (zong zi) and steamed pork wrapped in bamboo leaves (zha rou) as well as traditional Chinese candies.

Tianzifang (French Concession)

A maze of small walkways, unique coffee bars, shops, restaurants, punctuated with unique local Shikumen architecture. Enjoy lively people watching as you learn about colonial history of Shanghai.

East Nanjing Road

Much more than a shopping area, it's one of the world's busiest streets filled with local flare and Shanghai culture. The street is cut off from cars and buses and made for pedestrians to stroll, browse and shop. You can find hundreds of shops and brands from all over the world as well as a wide range of food and restaurants. Great for shopping or just people watching.

Middle Zhejiang Road

This is the famous Muslim food street along with the first Muslim quarter in Shanghai. Here has a wide range of original, authentic far-western barbecue, fruits, nuts, rang and other options as well as Shanghai's most popular Muslim restaurant.

After your tour, your guide will drop you off at your starting point or desired ending location.
