Discover the Enchanting Charms of Shanghai and Beyond: A Perfect 5-7 Day Itinerary
If you have the chance to visit Shanghai, a week-long journey offers the ideal blend of urban exploration and cultural immersion. Begin with three days in Shanghai, where modern skyscrapers like the Oriental Pearl Tower meet historic landmarks such as the Bund and Yu Garden. Stroll through bustling Nanjing Road, savor authentic local cuisine, and experience Shanghai’s vibrant nightlife.
Next, venture to nearby gems: the “Venice of the East”—Zhujiajiao, a serene water town, and the “Paradise on Earth,” Hangzhou. Spend two days admiring Hangzhou’s West Lake, its mist-covered hills, and tranquil tea plantations. A visit to Lingyin Temple adds spiritual depth to your trip. Then, head to Suzhou, renowned for its classical gardens, where intricate pavilions and lotus-filled ponds embody China’s garden artistry.
