Shanghai Four Days Itinerary

Raevian and I visited Shanghai recently and we had an enjoyable holiday at this cosmopolitan city, which has a unique mix of “old-Shanghai” areas along with modern gentrified districts. I would recommend anyone visiting to spend at least several days exploring this unique city. The below four-day itinerary will be useful if you are planning a trip to Shanghai. Note that between Day 1 and Day 2 in Shanghai, we also visited Suzhou and Hangzhou.

    Hello,
    I don’t understand why you arrived from Hangzhou on day 2.
    On day 1 night were you in Shanghai? Was wondering what to do in Hangzhou.

    Hi joyce! That is because we went to Suzhou and Hangzhou between day 1 and day 2 of our Shanghai holiday. You can find out more about our Hangzhou trip here.
