Three days in Shanghai — steel and silk, old stone and city light.
From the skyline of Lujiazui to the stillness of Yu Garden,
from museum quiet to Bund glow at dusk — you’ll see how the past and future speak the same language.
No shopping stops. No rush. Just culture, comfort, and city style.
Meet your Wander to China guide and driver at the airport or train station for a comfortable transfer to your 4★ hotel downtown.
The rest of the day is yours to relax or wander through cafés, parks, or the Bund riverfront.
Arrival Tips: Two major airports (PVG & SHA) connect Shanghai to Beijing (4.5–6 h HSR), Xi’an (6–7.5 h), Suzhou (30 m), Hangzhou (45 m).
