![]() ![]() Once we arrived in Yiwu, we took a taxi to go to Hengdian. We bought KFC and other snacks to eat inside the train. We had our lunch inside the high-speed train. Our departure is about 11 am and arrived in Yiwu at around 2 pm. Catches the second class (the cheapest seat) for this journey.

Since we have already booked our ticket online for high-speed rail Shanghai to Suzhou, we just took a taxi to the high-speed rail station. Day 2 Suzhou – 2 nights but 3 nights is more ideal When it ended, the mini-van send us back to our hotel. Get your phone ready and enjoy the lights in Huang Pu River Cruise. The cruise takes about an hour to complete. We have an elderly folk who is not able to walk for long so the guide talks to the security so she could walk in directly without needing to walk the zig-zag line for more than 20 min to reach the cruise. So crowded and noisy as some of those local tourists are from other parts of China and some may come from the countryside so they are not as cultured as those in the big cities. When I saw the crowds I was shocked and almost fainted. I don’t think I can figure out how to queue. Again, we were lucky to have Klook guide to tell us where to line up. The queuing part to enter the cruise is quite daunting too, you won’t know where to queue as the crowd is so huge. Luckily we have Klook’s guide to help us line up for the cruise tickets while we were able to enjoy a relaxing dinner nearby. Before the ticketing counters were opened, there are already so many guides lining up to help to get tickets for their tourists. If you are thinking of getting the ticket on your own, I think it is not really possible as the crowds (local tourists) are so huge. Klook provides us a good dinner near the ferry terminal then we can just walk over to catch the cruise. Our next program is the Huangpu River Cruise, this is another highlight in Shanghai. So in total maybe 15-20 min listening and looking around in the silk factory. ![]() No harsh sales and we only spent half an hour in the silk factory, that was including the toilet break for 8 pax. In the silk factory, they show you how a cacoon looks like how it was being transformed into silk, making into clothes and blankets or bedsheet. We spent about 2 hours plus in Zhujiajiao then proceed to a silk factory. The half-day tour also includes the boat ride in the village which I think is the highlight in Zhujiajiao water town. Our mini-bus brought us at the doorstep of Zhujiajiao entrance and we went in from another secret short cut way which allows us to avoid the crowds. There are public transports to get to Zhujiajiao Water town but you have to walk for a distance from the train station or bus stop, about 15 min to half an hour. We have 8 pax in the mini-van and throughout the whole journey, the guide speaks in fluent English. It was a small minivan, with a driver who only speaks Chinese and an English speaking guide who explained everything and guide us. ![]() We had our lunch at Cheng Huang Miao in the morning till noon.įrom 12 pm noon, we booked a Klook half-day tour to Zhujiajiao water town, about an hour’s drive from our hotel, Shanghai city center. The hotel is within walking distance to Cheng Huang Miao so it has a good location to find food and souvenirs. We were lucky we were able to do an early check-in. When we arrived at the city center at the Maglev station, we took a taxi to our hotel, the Renaissance Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel. After checking out from the airport and having breakfast at the airport, it was slightly before 7 am. We landed in Shanghai Pudong Airport and took the fastest train in the world, Maglev to travel to the city center, only takes about 7-8 mins to arrive. (I have also written 3 blogs on places of interest in Shanghai). If you have not been to Shanghai before, then you may want to consider staying for 2-3 nights at least to cover other places in Shanghai.
