Shanghai

Itinerary snapshot: Day 1 – early morning, 2‑hour flight from Shanghai to Beijing ; afternoon city‑center walking tour, dinner at a historic hutong restaurant. Overnight in a four‑star hotel. Day 2 – sunrise visit to the Summer Palace, then a high‑speed train back to Shanghai for a relaxed afternoon tea in the French Concession. That two‑day rhythm is typical of the packages I’ve tried, and it gives you a clear sense of how much ground you can cover without feeling rushed. Below you’ll find the tours I’ve taken, the value they deliver, and the little details that make a group trip run smoothly.
