上海

Art Deco neighborhoods, cutting-edge galleries, river views and late-night neighborhood eateries combine to create a city perfect for discovery on foot.

苏州

Suzhou is suitable for slowing down and observing: private gardens condense the landscape into a limited space, while canals, bridges, museums and streets where people still live extend the story beyond the pavilions. Staying one night allows you to see the gardens before the day visitors arrive, and you can also experience a quieter community in the evening.

南京

Nanjing is a city that has been a capital many times. Its long history is spread out among the Zhongshan Woodlands, Ming City Walls, museums, Republic of China institutions, and neighborhoods along the Qinhuai and Yangtze Rivers. The itinerary lends itself to grouping by historical threads and areas, and allows time for city views between landmarks, rather than compressing multiple dynasties into a crowded list.

厦门

Xiamen is a subtropical port city. The historical international community of Gulangyu Island, Minnan temples and forts, university districts and the still living island coast together form the urban character. Ferry and cross-island transportation require advance planning, but each area is suitable for walking; the beach belongs to the urban coastline, and swimming conditions and the impact of typhoons must be confirmed on site.

青岛

Qingdao is a hilly port city with rocky Yellow Sea shores, fishing traditions, modern architecture and modern marine industries adjacent to each other. The old town is suitable for walking but the slope is obvious, while Laoshan and the outer coast require a full-day schedule. The waterfront should be understood as a functioning maritime urban space, rather than as a strip of beach, beer, and historic buildings compressed into a resort strip.
