What you can expect

  • Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel or selected address in central Shanghai. A private driver or guide will transfer you to Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station for the high-speed train to Huzhou or Nanxun area, depending on the final route and ticket availability.

    After arriving in Huzhou, meet your local guide and start the day trip with a visit to Nanxun Ancient Town, one of the most elegant and less crowded water towns in the Jiangnan region. Walk along quiet canals, stone bridges, old residential streets, traditional courtyards, and historic riverside houses.

    Learn how Nanxun developed through silk trade, merchant families, classical architecture, and local Jiangnan culture. Visit key scenic areas in Nanxun such as Xiaolianzhuang Garden, Baijianlou, old canal-side areas, traditional homes, or other suitable cultural stops depending on opening conditions and daily arrangements.

    Listen as your guide explains the stories behind the old town, local family traditions, water town lifestyle, and the difference between Nanxun and more commercial water towns near Shanghai. Enjoy a local lunch in Huzhou or Nanxun, with recommendations from the guide.

    Depending on the selected package, try regional dishes, local noodles, freshwater ingredients, seasonal vegetables, or other Jiangnan-style food. In the afternoon, continue to a Taihu Lake scenic area or a local Huzhou city highlight.

    Depending on timing and the selected route, the tour may include views of Taihu Lake, a lakeside walk, Xiaoxi Street, Yishang Street, Feiying Pagoda, or another suitable local cultural area. This part of the tour gives you a broader view of Huzhou beyond the ancient town, combining lake scenery, local areas, and relaxed city life.

    At the end of the tour, transfer back to the railway station and take the high-speed train back to Shanghai. After arriving at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, a private vehicle can transfer you back to your hotel or selected destination in central Shanghai if included in the selected package.
