Shanghai - zhouzhuang no city tour 4 Days

Try a new way to travel to Shanghai 🥰 For those who are bored of city tours 🏙️ 🌆 Shanghai, try using your 4 days to go to these areas to open up new experiences. Day 1: After landing at the airport, try to choose a place to stay near Hongqiao railway station 🚉 Walk around there and rest a bit because the next day we will go out to visit nearby cities. Day 2: Start by taking the 17th subway line to the end of the line and then take a taxi for a bit to visit the ancient water town of Zhouzhuang, the old village of the great tycoon of Jiangnan. This city is a bit further away. Take a taxi for another 30 minutes and you will find a beautiful and peaceful water town. Try spending 1 day and 1 night here to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital. Day 3: When you come back from the water town, you can spend the remaining half a day visiting the White Jade Buddha Temple. It is considered another day that anyone who comes to Shanghai should not miss. Day 4: End with another famous temple in Shanghai, Longhua Temple, to worship for good luck and may be followed by a vegetarian meal to abstain from meat. And this is a plan to travel to Shanghai without going into the city. It is considered another option for those who come to Shanghai often. #Travel to China #Plan to travel to China

🏞️ Zhouzhuang 周庄 — China’s Most Famous Water Town Often dubbed the “Venice of the East,” Zhouzhuang (周庄) is everything you’d imagine a Jiangnan water town to be — serene canals, arched stone bridges, whitewashed houses, and wooden boats drifting under red lanterns. I visited Zhouzhuang on a quiet weekday, and the slower pace was such a refreshing break from the city. Walking along the narrow alleys, I passed century-old mansions, tiny family-run shops, and locals chatting by the riverside. My favorite part? Taking a boat ride through the canals while the boatwoman sang a traditional Wu dialect folk song 🎶 — it felt like stepping into a Chinese ink painting. 📍 Getting there: • From Suzhou: Take a direct tourist bus or Didi (~1 hour) • From Shanghai: Tourist buses depart from Shanghai Stadium or Hongqiao, ~1.5 hours 🎫 Tickets: • Entry ticket (~100 RMB) includes access to key sites like Shen House (沈厅) and Zhang House (张厅), which give a glimpse into the lives of wealthy merchants in Ming and Qing times. 📌 Tips: • Come early morning or late afternoon to enjoy the quieter side of Zhouzhuang • Boat rides are an extra fee, but totally worth it • Stay for sunset — the golden light on the water is unreal • Try Wansan pork shank (万三蹄膀) — a local specialty Whether you’re here for the canals, culture, or just to slow down, Zhouzhuang is pure old-world charm. #summervacay #Zhouzhuang #WaterTownChina #江南水乡 #古镇慢游 #苏州周边游 #中国旅行 #CanalVibes #古镇摄影 #WuzhongStyle #SlowTravelChina #VeniceOfTheEast
