• Breakfast and lunch

Your guide will be waiting for you at the hotel lobby at about 9:00.

In the morning, you will be transferred to Tongli. It takes about 2 hours on the road. Your guide will introduce you to the highlights of Tongli.

There are still many well-preserved buildings from the Ming (1368–1644 AD) and Qing (1644–1912 AD) dynasties, and locals still live there. It is one of the less commercialized and less crowded water towns.

You will visit Tuisi Garden (Garden of Retreat and Reflection), a notable attraction. It was built in 1885–1887 during the Qing dynasty.

The waterways provide a major form of transport in Tongli. So you will take a gondola from Tuisi Garden to the Three Bridges.

Then, you will be transferred back to Shanghai.
