About This Tour

Discover the dreamy 'Taihu Blue' lakeside scenery on this easygoing private day trip from Shanghai. After a comfortable hotel pickup, relax in your private air-conditioned car for the short ride to the shores of Taihu, one of China's five great freshwater lakes, just outside the ancient city of Suzhou.

With your private English-speaking guide, take in the picture-perfect blue lakeside greenway that hugs the water's edge, with open views of shimmering lake colors and the soft outlines of Yuyang Hill. The pace is gentle and relaxed throughout, designed for sightseeing and photos rather than exertion. Pause at scenic spots for a lakeside walk and capture the famous 'sea tongue' viewpoint where land reaches out into the water.

Enjoy an authentic local lunch at the renowned Taihu Eighteen Noodle House, a true taste of regional cooking. Optional gentle cycling along the flat lakeside path can be arranged for those who wish, but the day is built around comfort, beautiful scenery, and easy exploration. Your private car returns you directly to your Shanghai hotel. A perfect choice for travelers wanting authentic lake-country China at a calm, comfortable pace.
