FAQ

Why is the per-person price higher for a solo booking than for a group booking on the same tour?

A solo booking on this route is actually a private car trip. You have exclusive use of the vehicle, driver and guide for the entire journey instead of joining other travelers.
When multiple people book together, the vehicle and guide costs are shared, lowering the per-person cost. For a solo trip, you bear the full cost of the vehicle, guide and accommodation yourself, so the per-person price is higher.
The fee you pay covers dedicated service with your own private car and driver-guide. The service level differs from that of a multi-person group, and the price difference reflects this fundamental difference in service model. Thank you for your understanding.

Why are children charged? How do I choose tickets if I'm unsure about my child's height?

The tour cost includes expenses such as the seat and guide service. These resources are calculated based on the number of travelers, so children must pay their share; bed fees and standard attraction tickets are waived.
If you're unsure about your child's height: select the ticket-free option when booking. Upon arrival at the attraction, your child's actual height will be checked. If they meet the ticketing requirements, you can pay the relevant admission fee on site.

Why choose a premium group tour with no shopping stops?

Choosing a premium no-shopping group tour means spending your precious time enjoying the scenery rather than sitting in shopping stops.
Standard low-cost tours often cover their costs through forced shopping and hidden fees, cutting into sightseeing time and resulting in a poor experience. A no-shopping tour doesn't visit any designated shops and has no hidden fees, so all your time is spent exploring in depth and listening to your guide, making the itinerary much more relaxed. No-shopping tours also typically provide more professional guides and more comfortable vehicles, ideal for travelers who value quality and want to avoid scams. Spend a little more on the tour fee, and save time and peace of mind.

Is the Qiantang River light show worth seeing?

The Qiantang River light show is a signature of Hangzhou's nightscape and a must-see highlight of any city night tour. The facades of the 2.3 km L-shaped building cluster along the river are fully illuminated, with 700,000 LED lights synchronized to create a giant canvas of light. It uses light and shadow to showcase the Qiantang River tidal bore, West Lake lotus scenery, Liangzhu culture, and Hangzhou landmarks—blending traditional charm with high-tech flair.

Can the itinerary be fully customized, or do I have to choose a fixed route?

We offer both fully customized and semi-customized itineraries to suit different needs.
Fully customized: Design your own trip from scratch based on your interests, schedule, and budget. Our travel designers will work with you one-on-one to recommend destinations, hotels, and activities, creating a one-of-a-kind route. Ideal for travelers with clear ideas or special needs (e.g., honeymoons, family trips, photography tours).
Semi-customized: If you'd rather not plan from scratch, pick one of our classic routes as a base and adjust it to your preferences—swap hotels, add or remove attractions, extend your stay in certain places, and more.

What food should I try in Wuzhen West Scenic Zone?

We recommend Shusheng lamb noodles (tender lamb in rich broth), Dingsheng cake (soft, sweet, and auspicious), Wuzhen soy duck (savory-sweet, great as a souvenir), boat-bow rice dumplings (fragrant meat and sticky rice), and qingtuan green rice balls (spring only). Radish cakes and Wu Ma wontons are also worth trying. Stroll along West Scenic Zone Street and sample as you go.

How would you rate the variety and things to do on this Nanxun, Xitang, and Wuzhen itinerary?

From Nanxun to Xitang and then Wuzhen, this route is a Jiangnan trilogy moving from historical depth to everyday life and finally to refined elegance. Nanxun opens your imagination to Jiangnan's wealth with its grand gardens blending Chinese and Western styles. Xitang pulls you into vibrant daily life—sheltering from the rain under kilometer-long covered walkways while eating cakes, feeling the water town's energy through steaming street snacks. Wuzhen closes the journey, with the dazzling, perfectly arranged West Scenic Zone nightscape taking the experience to its peak. These three ancient towns offer three completely different sides of Jiangnan. From quiet to lively to breathtaking, the whole journey leaves no regrets.
