A glimpse of the journey
Day by day
This is a customisable itinerary outline. The written booking confirmation determines the final programme and inclusions.
Day 1Shanghai
The Bund & Shanghai lanes
Meet your arranged transfer and settle into your accommodation. Review the coming days with your host and leave room to recover from the journey. Compare the Bund’s historic facades with the Pudong skyline, then slow down among the city’s leafy streets and old neighborhoods.
Day 2–3Hangzhou
Hangzhou’s West Lake · Tea culture, leaf to cup
Explore lakeside paths, willow-lined views and stories of poets and painters. A boat ride can be arranged when services operate. Meet a tea host, learn about preparation and taste different infusions. Tea picking depends on the season and the farm’s arrangements.
Day 4–5Suzhou
Suzhou classical gardens · Silk & embroidery traditions
Read a garden through its framed views, scholar rocks and waterside pavilions. Continue into traditional lanes to appreciate Jiangnan’s quieter side. Discover how silk is made and how detailed embroidery develops stitch by stitch. Museum or studio visits depend on the local programme.
Day 6–9Jingdezhen
Jingdezhen porcelain craft
Visit kiln heritage and contemporary studios, then try shaping or decorating porcelain with an artisan. Firing and delivery are confirmed separately. Enjoy any available free time before your arranged airport or station transfer. Departure timing is coordinated with your confirmed ticket.
