    Suzhou and Zhujiajiao Private Guided Day Trip from Shanghai

    1 day
    All Months

    Embark on this private full-day tour from Shanghai to Zhujiajiao and Suzhou—glide through ancient water town canals by gondola, explore a UNESCO-listed Suzhou garden, and savor local flavors for an unforgettable Jiangnan experience.

    Itinerary Quick Look

    1. Pick-Up & Departure: Head to Zhujiajiao Water Town

    Your fantastic full-day adventure kicks off with a convenient pick-up at your downtown Shanghai hotel. Hop aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned private car. Enjoy a scenic ride to Zhujiajiao Water Town, one of the best-preserved ancient towns nestled near Shanghai.

    2. Zhujiajiao Exploration: Alleys, Gondolas & Local Flavors

    Upon arrival, follow your guide to wander the town’s charming ancient stone alleys. Browse unique local arts and handicrafts, sample mouthwatering street food, and soak in the authentic local culture and customs. Next, board a private gondola. Glide down the winding ancient canals, taking in views of Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, lush greenery and old temples while your guide shares fun cultural stories. Then take a well-deserved break. Savor a delicious local lunch with must-try dishes, tailored perfectly to your diet and taste preferences.

    3. Drive to Suzhou: The 2,500-Year-Old “Oriental Venice”

    In the afternoon, head to Suzhou, a 2,500-year-old city hailed as the “Oriental Venice” for its crisscrossing waterways and elegant gardens. First, visit the UNESCO-listed Humble Administrator’s Garden, a masterpiece of classical Chinese gardens whose layout and design have inspired garden-makers for centuries. Marvel at its exquisite rock formations, vibrant greenery, tranquil ponds, and graceful towers and pavilions. If you prefer a more intimate setting, opt for Master of the Nets Garden, Lingering Garden or Lion Forest Garden instead.

    4. Suzhou Canals & Optional Historic Sites

    Next, stroll along Suzhou’s ancient canals. Explore colorful, bustling water markets, admire the unique, white-walled black-tiled Jiangnan architecture, and soak in the lively local vibe. Watch locals dressed in traditional dynasty costumes go about their day, and learn about the time-honored water village life and traditions. If time and interest allow, make stops at iconic spots: Panmen Gate with its ancient city defenses, the quiet Beisi Pagoda with a history spanning over a thousand years, or Tiger Hill to see its famous leaning pagoda.

    5. Return to Shanghai: End of a Perfect Day

    After this unforgettable day of water town charm and classical garden beauty, you’ll be dropped back at your downtown Shanghai hotel. Or you can choose another downtown area as you request, carrying home sweet memories of Jiangnan’s timeless elegance.
