Lujiazui Shanghai

Shanghai Private Tours

Shanghai works as a city-focused trip or as the start of a Shanghai–Suzhou journey. Compare the two published five-day routes before deciding whether a second base is worth the transfer.

Lujiazui Shanghai

Choose a route for your dates

Stay in Shanghai if city neighbourhoods and flexible evenings matter most. Choose the Shanghai–Suzhou route for a second base with gardens and canals; confirm station choice and luggage handling for your own dates.

Compare a multi-city planning example

Both published routes have five calendar days, with different experiences and time allocations. Keep Shanghai as your base for a city-focused stay, or examine the Suzhou connection in the combined itinerary. Confirm your actual airports and stations before fixing the order.

Read the itinerary planning guide

Tell us your dates, number of travelers, arrival and departure cities, preferred pace and guiding-language needs. Chinese and English consultation is available; actual guiding language, shared departures and inclusions need confirmation.

Request a tailored route

Need a car, a guide, or both?

For Shanghai and Suzhou, compare rail plus a local guide with a car covering the agreed intercity route. State whether you will return to Shanghai or stay overnight in Suzhou.

Planning 5–9 days in China: choose a realistic route

City Highlights

🌇

The Bund

The Bund offers a riverfront view connecting Shanghai's historic buildings and modern skyline.

🏭

Yu Garden

Yu Garden and the Old City provide a different setting from the high-rise riverfront.

🏖

French Concession

Former French Concession streets are the focus of the neighborhood walking day.

🌃

Pudong Skyline

Lujiazui provides a closer view of the Pudong skyline. Observation-deck visits require separate confirmation.

Planning your visit

A one-day route gives a city overview; three days allow more neighborhood and cultural visits. Review the existing five-day itinerary for a longer stay. Share your hotel area so crossings between Puxi and Pudong can be considered when discussing the daily order.

  • Group nearby walks together and discuss metro or vehicle connections between districts rather than expecting to walk the entire route.
  • Confirm the museum branch, admission requirements and opening arrangements for your actual dates before booking.
  • A Huangpu River cruise is a proposed activity requiring confirmation; a waterfront walk remains a separate way to enjoy the skyline.
