Imbued with the essence of Jiangnan, the Shanghai – Wuzhen tour opens a poetic journey through China, where you can immerse yourself in the contrasting yet harmonious colors of old and new China. Starting with Beijing, you will step into a majestic historical space: the towering Great Wall, the solemn Forbidden City, and the vast Tiananmen Square, which seems to open up an entire sky of ancient culture... Leaving the northern capital, the journey takes you to Hangzhou, where West Lake gently mirrors the clouds, so romantic that it is likened to “paradise on earth.” The most precious highlight is Wuzhen – an ancient town with the characteristic Jiangnan appearance, with winding waterways, old tiled roofs, wooden house eaves, and lantern light reflecting on the water.
