Travel from Shanghai to Zhouzhuang by bullet train. Explore the "No.1 Water Town in China," visit scenic spots with a guide, have local cuisine, enjoy a rowing boat ride, watch a Chinese performance in Song Dynasty and stay in an Antique wooden-carved bed for one night.
Experience the Fuxing Hao (复兴号) Bullet Train in a business seat, China’s independently developed bullet train with full intellectual property rights, cruising at 350 km/h. Its bird-inspired nose reduces wind resistance. Embark on this "land flight" and experience its revolutionary speed.
Zhouzhuang, acclaimed as the "No.1 Water Town in China", traces its origins to the year 1086 when construction began. Renowned for its well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, it is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List and rated as a National 5A Tourist Attraction. Located southwest of Kunshan City and just over 60 km east of Shanghai, this quintessential Jiangnan water town features a grid-like waterway system interconnected by 14 ancient bridges.
The rowing boat, symbolising the "soul of the water town", carries millennia of waterborne culture. Once a traditional means of transportation in the Jiangnan water town, it now offers immersive experiences and unique perspectives.
Enjoy the Zhouzhuang Odyssey stage performance. It employs a dual narrative thread—the dream and life journey of the Song Dynasty figure Zhou He and the magical dream of a modern young man with the same name, Zhou He. Spanning 900 years, the two threads are interwoven and echo each other, drawing the audience into a dreamlike world where they travel from bustling streets to the battlefield of the Song Dynasty.
Stay overnight in a traditional wooden-carved bed. Step into the secluded chambers of gentlewomen/gentlemen in traditional Chinese families, touch Ming-Qing history in carved window lattices, and experience the poetic water town lifestyle.
