Chu-čou

I chose a guided tour mainly because, after researching, I found that the cost was about the same as traveling independently with multiple transfers. Not having to transfer was fantastic. This time, our tour guide, Xiao Fang, guided us through Wuzhen East柵 and led us into the Nanxun Scenic Area. Although the combined tour resulted in a large crowd, requiring us to stay very close to hear the guide properly (I constantly heard 'You have fallen behind' from my headset), it definitely added much more depth to the travel experience compared to just wandering around on our own and listening to a guide. True to the itinerary description, lunch, tour headsets, and the boat cruise were not included in the tour fee. Lunch was filling and might only be considered specialty food for foreigners, but the other two items are highly recommended for optional purchase. There were some foreigners in our group, which I felt slightly detracted from the overall experience, but purely from the perspective of a shared shuttle tour, it was actually quite alright. Aside from the riverside and bridges in East Zha, I also highly recommend going inside the Hongyuantai Dye Workshop for photos; since we visited on a weekend, the alleys should have been great for photos too otherwise. As for Nanxun, following Tour Guide Xiao Fang's advice, we headed straight to the Hundred-Jian Building. The walk was a bit far, and at one point I wondered why I had suddenly left the tourist area, but it was truly worth seeing. If you have plenty of time and a travel companion, I highly recommend finding a place to sit down, dine by the river, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Ding Sheng cake is also recommended to try (I bought it freshly steamed and it was quite good). The night offers a completely different scenery, and I originally chose this tour because it included viewing the night view. Overall, the experience was pretty good.

Overall, it was a wonderful day trip to Wuzhen! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, especially the transition from afternoon to evening and night. Each time of day offered a different atmosphere, and the night view with all the lights was particularly stunning. One area for improvement would be to provide a digital map or a clearer, more detailed map of Xizha Scenic Area. The area is quite large, and it can be easy for first-time visitors to get lost while exploring. A more user-friendly map would definitely help visitors navigate and make the most of their time there. Overall, it was a lovely experience and definitely worth visiting!

Vyrazili jsme na spontánní výlet do Šanghaje a zakoupili jsme si balíček 5D4N a byli jsme velmi ohromeni cenou i službami. Naše průvodkyně, Xiao Tang, byla po celou dobu výletu velmi profesionální, pečlivá a starostlivá. Přišla mi jako velmi upřímná osoba, se kterou se snadno povídá. Byla také velmi znalá a sdílela s námi historii všech míst, která jsme navštívili. Díky ní byl celý výlet pro nás tak pohodlný. Děkujeme, Xiao Tang, klobouk dolů! ❤️❤️

Byla jsem velmi spokojená s naším čtyřdenním a třínočním výletem do starobylých vodních měst Su-čou a Chang-čou! Naše průvodkyně, paní Pan Chunli, měla vynikající znalosti historických příběhů a velmi dobře se o nás starala během prohlídek. Také nám pořídila mnoho krásných fotografií krajiny. Vřele tuto průvodkyni doporučuji!

Naše průvodkyně Xiao Xiao je super trpělivá, profesionální a vstřícná. Itinerář byl dobře naplánovaný s dostatkem času na prozkoumání a prožití každého místa. Obzvláště jsem si užil Nanxun a Wuzhen, obě jsou dechberoucí a dobře zachovalé památkové lokality.

This tour was one of the amazing tours that we had in China. Firstly, our family doesn’t speak Chinese at all. I booked the tour and tour provider suggested to cancel the tour for best experience when I booked the tour. I cancelled but there is no way I can go around China without taking tour. I requested to get English tour guide or bear minimum English. Even before the tour , I communicated again and again with your operators to make sure the dates are correct. Tour guide Xing and Menghai,they communicated with me with we chat all the time for itinerary and sightseeing. Even though we couldn’t communicate verbally with other tour members, we had a great time communicating with gestures and google translate. Hotels are very good along with first meal and last meal together arranged by tour were amazing. I would recommend going this tour to anyone if you really want to know true Chinese culture.
