Shanghai Side Trips

If you are going to spend 4-5 days in Shanghai, you are highly recommended to make some side trips to its mesmerising neighbors like Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi and Huangshan as well as pastoral water towns such as Zhouzhuang, Tongli, Xitang and Wuzhen. All these attractive areas including Shanghai itself are located in the Yangtze River Delta, or the Golden Triangle of the Yangtze with Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou as the three angle points.

Beyond the the Golden Triangle of the Yangtze River, if you are interested in a mountain tour, Mt.Huangshan is a perfect mecca which takes about 15-hour overnight train ride and 1 hour flight from Shanghai.

These Shanghai side trips are much sought after by many time-strapped travelers, who cram business and pleasure trips into single junkets.
