Begin your adventure at 7:20 AM from People's Square Metro Exit 1 (Lines 1/2/8). Our first highlight is Suzhou's Humble Administrator's Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage Site showcasing Ming Dynasty water landscapes. Marvel at its three distinct zones over 2 hours, where pavilions mirror in lotus ponds and zigzag bridges create poetic vistas.

After a group lunch, journey 1.5hrs to Wuzhen West Scenic Zone, the quintessential water town. Wander through stone-carved bridges and antique workshops, or opt for a traditional gondola (¥480/boat). As twilight falls, witness magical transformation – ancient architecture illuminated against dark waterways creates an ethereal atmosphere. Overnight at premium hotels like Wuzhen Midnight Hotel.

Morning brings you to Hangzhou's West Lake, where we ascend Leifeng Pagoda for panoramic views. Stroll along Su Causeway, immortalized by Marco Polo as "the finest city in the world." After lunch, Song Dynasty Town offers optional cultural immersion (¥280 for theme park + performance ticket).

Day 3: Hangzhou ↔ Hengdian

Day 4: Hangzhou ↔ Thousand Islands Lake

Discover China's largest artificial lake through Fishing Island's aquatic activities. Ascend Tianyu Mountain via scenic escalators for a 270° glass-platform view of 1,078 emerald islets. Evening transfer to Nanjing by high-speed rail (2hrs).

Day 5: Nanjing → Yangzhou

Yangzhou unveils classical gardens: Slender West Lake's willow-framed pagodas and He Garden's bamboo corridors. Wander Dongguan Street, a 1,200-year-old marketplace preserving traditional crafts and Huaiyang cuisine.
