A Four Day Itinerary for the Four Jewels of East China

If time was no worry, we’d all be poets, spending the rest of our days appreciating the unique charms of Hangzhou and Suzhou, drifting along the historical river in Wuzhen, and zipping away to Shanghai whenever we need to inject our idyllic pastimes with the energy of a cosmopolitan global city. Coming back to the reality of the grind for those of us with heavy schedules, it only makes sense to provide a compact itinerary for the avid traveler on a tight schedule who doesn’t want to compromise on the quality of experiences.
