    In the afternoon, travel to Wuzhen, a postcard-perfect ancient water town. Wander its cobblestone lanes. Black-tiled wooden houses perch on canal banks, connected by humpback stone bridges. As night falls, take a magical lantern-lit stroll. Watch the town’s twinkling lights reflect on calm canal waters.

    Next, stroll along Hefang Street, Hangzhou’s bustling historic pedestrian street. It’s lined with Ming and Qing-style shops. Sample local snacks, buy silk souvenirs and soak up old-town charm.
    In the afternoon, head back to Shanghai. Explore the Bund, a waterfront promenade with 52 historic buildings. Styles range from Gothic to Art Deco. As the sun sets, board a Huangpu River cruise. Admire Shanghai’s glittering skyline, with the Oriental Pearl Tower lighting up the night.
