Tour Style:
Eight days take in the four faces of eastern China that first-time visitors keep meaning to see but rarely have time for - Shanghai skyline and French-Concession lanes, the gardens of Suzhou and the water town of Tongli, West Lake and Longjing tea in Hangzhou, and the granite peaks and sea of clouds of Huangshan. It is private throughout: a local guide in each city, a car for the sightseeing days, and high-speed rail - tickets arranged for you - for the hops between them, so you spend the time looking rather than planning. Any day can be reshaped around what your group loves.

Welcome to Shanghai. However you arrive - by air or by rail - your guide meets you at the meeting point with a Your Way Holiday sign, helps with your luggage and drives you to your hotel to check in. The rest of the day is yours: with a few tips from your guide, wander the lanes, do some first-day shopping, or eat your way through a Shanghai dinner.
A full day in Shanghai, after breakfast and a lobby pickup from your guide. The route swings from old walled town to colonial quarter to riverfront, so you see the three layers the city is built from.
Start inside the Ming-Dynasty Yuyuan Garden - rockwork, zigzag bridges and upturned eaves packed into the old city. Right outside is the Yuyuan Bazaar, the crooked lane of tea houses and snack stalls where you can grab crab-shell soup or a skewer between the pavilions.
Next, the plane-tree streets of the old French Concession - shikumen brick lanes, café corners and the leafy avenues that make this the most walkable part of Shanghai. Slip into Tianzifang, a labyrinth of brick alleys now full of small studios, galleries and design shops. For lunch try two Shanghai plates: pork ribs stewed with rice cakes, and white-cut chicken chilled with soy and scallion.
The quiet stop is the Jade Buddha Temple, a working monastery holding two white jade Buddhas brought from Burma, where you can watch incense and chanting away from the crowds. Finish on the Bund, the half-mile of colonial bankfronts facing the Pudong towers across the river - the best time to be here is as the skyline lights come on.
Your guide brings you back to the hotel, leaving the evening free to explore more of Shanghai.
This morning your driver takes you from your Shanghai hotel to the station for the short high-speed train to Suzhou, where your Suzhou guide meets you with a Your Way Holiday sign. The change of city is easy and handled - the tickets are arranged, and the rest of the day settles into garden country.
Suzhou biggest and best-known garden, the Humble Administrator s Garden, is a UNESCO site laid out around a chain of ponds, causeways and pavilions - the reference point for everything that makes the city a garden museum. Go early with your guide to catch it before the crowds, and learn to read the borrowed views and framing.
Lunchtime on Pingjiang Road, a cobblestone lane beside a small canal ringed by old houses, tea houses and pingtan singing rooms - the most atmospheric place in the city to sit a while. Order Suzhou two signature plates: the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish, fried crisp and glazed sweet-and-sour, and a bowl of sweet glutinous rice porridge with osmanthus.
Late afternoon takes in the old Panmen land-and-water gate, part of the 2,500-year Wu city wall, then the Hanshan Temple - Cold Mountain Temple - made famous by a Tang Dynasty poem about a night boat and a temple bell. Your guide ties the stories together before walking you back to your Suzhou hotel.
Evening is free in Suzhou before tomorrow onward.
After breakfast your guide and driver take you to Tongli, a water town of canals and stone bridges a short drive from Suzhou - quieter and less tour-busy than the famous names, and better for it. The day drifts between a garden, a teahouse and the lanes by boat.
Begin at Tuisi Garden, a Qing-Dynasty water garden whose name - "retreat and reflection" - tells you its purpose. Corridors, rockwork and ponds are folded into a small plot so the garden keeps opening onto new framed views; your guide shows you how the designer cheated the space.
Tongli three crossing stone bridges - each built for a different fortune - are the town postcard. Then lunch on local cooking: Zhuangyuan pig trotters, braised dark and tender, and Qian Shi cake, a layered sweet pastry named for a Tang scholar, best with tea.
Wash it down at the old Nanyuan teahouse, then take a hand-rowed boat along the canals, the way goods once moved, to see the water houses and bridges from the surface of the water. Your guide drives you back and sees you off at Suzhou station for your high-speed train to Hangzhou.
After the train from Suzhou, Hangzhou opens with your guide meeting you in your hotel lobby and a day built around its two loves: the lake and tea. Tell your guide what you want to linger on - temples, views, food - and the pace adjusts to match.
The morning is on the water: a traditional wooden boat past the causeways and pagodas while your guide separates the myth from the history, then a walk to Huagang Park for the classic Viewing Fish at Flower Ponds - koi turning under lotus and willow.
Lunch is where Hangzhou cooking shows best - Dongpo pork, a slow-braised belly cube named for the poet Su Dongpo, dark and melting; and Longjing shrimp, river shrimp tossed with the region famous tea leaves for a clean, fragrant taste.
Afternoon goes west to Meijiawu, a working Longjing tea village, to watch leaves wok-roasted and taste an early and a later flush. End on the Yunqi bamboo path, a cool green tunnel of towering stalks, before your guide drives you back to your hotel.
Your second Hangzhou day, from your hotel lobby, trades the tourist lakefront for the working quarter - an early market, the old canal, an herbalist street - and climbs out at sunset.
Start at a neighbourhood wet market, the best place to see what Hangzhou really eats and to sample snacks cooked on the spot. Then along the Grand Canal historic blocks, the southern end of the world s longest artificial waterway, where towpaths, old warehouses and Gongchen Bridge show the city s trading past.
Lunch is street-food style: song sao fish soup, a hot sour broth with a sliver of fish, and scallion pancakes layered with ham, both Hangzhou favourites. Afterward wander Hefang Street, the old town of timber shopfronts, herbalist halls and tea houses, and let your guide pick the stalls worth stopping at.
Climb at last to Chenghuang Pavilion on Wushan Hill for the widest look over the city - lake, rooftops and hills - and stay for the sunset and the lights coming on. Your guide brings you back to your hotel after.
An early start: your driver takes you from your Hangzhou hotel to the station for the bullet train up to Huangshan, and your mountain guide meets you at the Huangshan platform with a Your Way Holiday sign. The city gives way to granite and cloud, and the afternoon is spent on the peaks.
Huangshan is famous for its weather-bent granite, twisted pines and rolling cloud, so the first stops are its viewpoints - Shixin Peak and the needle-like Brush-Pen Peak - where your guide points out the formations locals have named and the pines that root straight out of the rock.
Lunch leans on what the hills produce: crisp Huangshan biscuits, a savoury baked snack, and fangla fish, a small stream fish from the mountain water, fried or braised with local ginger and scallion - simple, hearty food after the climb.
The high point of the day is Bright Summit, Guangmingding, the mountain broad panoramic terrace, where on a clear day you look out over wave after wave of granite tips. Then the Strange Rocks area, where erosion has left boulders that look like a monkey watching the sea or two lovers facing each other, each with its own name and legend. Your guide walks you to the viewpoints and sees you checked in at your Huangshan hotel for the night.
You rise before dawn for the reward of the whole trip: sunrise on Huangshan, then a slower morning along the high ridge before the descent and one last Hui-region lunch.
Your guide walks you to the best vantage as the first light turns the granite tips gold and the cloud below goes pink. If the day is clear, continue along the ridge to Lion Peak, one of the mountains highest points, named for a crouching-rock silhouette and the sea-of-clouds views it opens onto.
Lunch leans on the old Huizhou kitchen - steamed ham cured and cooked with bamboo shoots, and fried bean curd in the Hui style, both warming mountain food. Afterward ride the cable car down for one last look over the range, and your guide sees you transferred to your hotel in Huangshan.
Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huangshan - the classic eastern-China circuit: the skyline and old town of Shanghai, the gardens of Suzhou and Tongli, the lake and tea of Hangzhou, and the granite peaks of Huangshan.
By private car within each city, and by China high-speed rail for the Shanghai-Suzhou, Suzhou-Hangzhou and Hangzhou-Huangshan legs. We book the tickets and your guides walk you to the platform and meet you on arrival, so the connections are handled.
Each city day begins at your hotel lobby (or the station or airport on request), and the tour finishes with your transfer to your hotel in Huangshan after the last mountain day. Tell us your onward plans and we arrange the drop-off around them.
Moderate. There is real walking and stairs on the mountain, though a cable car does the steep ascent and descent and the pace is adjustable. If you would rather take the ridge slowly, say so and your guide will build in more rests.
Spring and autumn are the sweet spot - mild, clear and best for cloud views. Summer is green but busier and hazier, winter quieter with a real chance of a sea of snow. Sunrise on Huangshan depends on weather, which is one reason we overnight on the mountain.
Your private guides, drivers, city transport, hotels and the inter-city train seats are arranged as part of the tour; entrance fees and meals follow the day plans above. Anything marked optional, like extra shows, can be added in advance.
Six extras you can slot into the cities along the way.
Shanghai Biggest Starbucks
The world largest Starbucks sits in the Shanghai Trade Centre - four floors inside a former cinema. More a curiosity than a coffee stop, it is an easy add-on on a Shanghai free afternoon if you are travelling with coffee people.
Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum
In the Hongkou district, this museum tells the little-known story of the tens of thousands of Jewish refugees who reached Shanghai in the 1930s and 40s. Quiet, moving and well made, it opens a side of the city most visitors never see.
Suzhou Embroidery
Watch Suzhou shu embroidery, the finest of Chinese silk needlework, worked in split threads so silk reads as fur and moving water - and see how long a single small panel really takes.
Rickshaw Ride in Suzhou Old Town
A slow, shaded way to take in the Pingjiang and Shantang lanes - hop into a padded rickshaw and let the driver pull you past canals and courtyard doors.
Impression West Lake Show
Cap a Hangzhou evening at the Enduring Memories of Hangzhou show, the open-air spectacle staged on West Lake itself, dancers, light and fishing floats against the hills.
Bamboo Weaving Workshop
Sit down with an artisan to weave bamboo by hand - split, soaked and plaited into a small basket - a calm craft and a different kind of souvenir.

An eight day loop of Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huangshan sounds like it would be exhausting and it somehow was not. Each handoff was arranged, guide with a sign at every station, luggage moved for us. Hangzhou was my favorite, the tea village morning and a slow West Lake evening. Our guides overall were flexible, when we asked for one more hour at a garden they trimmed a gift-shop stop nobody wanted. Food was good everywhere, a standout Hangzhou meal was Longjing shrimp with rice. The Huangshan hike had a careful driver. Highly recommend for a first big China trip.

Glad eight days did not feel exhausting, Helen. The handoffs and luggage are the invisible part we work hardest on so you never have to think about it. The tea village morning being your favorite says a lot - that is usually the one people remember.

This 8-day tour through Eastern China was an incredible journey and I can honestly say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived in Shanghai, the energy of the city was contagious. There’s a perfect balance of old and new here, futuristic skyscrapers alongside traditional architecture, all intertwined with the hustle and bustle of daily life. It felt like the city was always alive, and I couldn’t help but be swept up in its dynamic pace.
Moving on to Suzhou, I felt like I had entered a completely different world. The calm, peaceful atmosphere of the gardens and the canals was a refreshing change from the urban energy of Shanghai. I loved the feeling of walking through history, where every garden and ancient street told a story. It felt like time slowed down here, and I could really connect with the slower pace of life.
In Hangzhou, I was struck by how serene and picturesque everything was. The landscape was so beautiful and calming, whether it was the stillness of the lake or the lush greenery surrounding us, I felt like I was surrounded by nature’s peace. The city has such a gentle vibe, and I appreciated the sense of tranquility that washed over me, especially after the busier cities we had visited.
Finally, Huangshan was the highlight of the trip for me. The natural beauty was absolutely stunning, and I felt like I was in awe the entire time. Being surrounded by the towering peaks and the misty landscapes made me feel incredibly small in the best way possible, it was humbling. The entire experience made me feel more connected to nature, and the peacefulness of the mountains was unlike anything I’ve experienced before.This trip offered a perfect mix of culture, nature, and history. It was both invigorating and calming, with each destination offering its own unique vibe. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to soak in the sights and truly appreciate each place for what it was. It was a journey that left me feeling deeply connected to China’s rich heritage and its stunning natural beauty. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the heart of Eastern China.

We traveled as a family of four including two teenagers and this tour truly exceeded our expectations. Our guide in each city spoke excellent English, was incredibly knowledgeable, and made the experience fun and engaging even for our kids. The itinerary was well-designed and covered all the highlights of each city efficiently without ever feeling rushed. We especially appreciated how in Hangzhou we got to experience both its natural beauty and cultural charm in a short time.
The company was very responsive and flexible throughout the planning process. Every question we had was answered quickly and clearly. Our driver kept the car clean and fresh and drove very safely, even during the mountain roads in Huangshan. This tour is a great option for families who want to explore China comfortably and in depth.
