Tour to Hangzhou

Sat in the shadow of hills and tea plantations, and home to the wonderful West Lake, Hangzhou could easily lay claim to being the domestic tourist capital of China. West Lake has been immortalized in paintings and poetry, while its Lingyin Temple, with a 20 m (66 ft) camphor-wood Buddha, is a place of pilgrimage for innumerable tour groups. Other sites include the Six-Harmonies Pagoda, once a lighthouse for river traffic.

The cost includes the services of the English Speaking guide, driver, transportation (individual transfer Shanghai-Hangzhou-Shanghai), gasoline, entrance fees. From Shanghai to Hangzhou round 2.5-3.0 hour drive, one way

Tour to Suzhou

Famed far and wide for its gardens, canals and silk production, Suzhou is, like Hangzhou, another major stop on the domestic tourism trail. Nevertheless, if you time your visit well (avoid weekends), this small, manageable city can make an extremely rewarding break. You won't fall for its "Venice-of-the-East" claims, but Suzhou still offers pockets of canal-side charm and a huge number of beautiful traditional Chinese gardens.
