Shanghai → Hangzhou → Suzhou. Thoughtful stays, personal guiding and space to enjoy the journey.
This is an itinerary idea, not a fixed departure. The hotels below are suggestions; availability, travel times and experiences are confirmed when your route is arranged.
Antique villa entrance at Amanyangyun
Begin at Amanyangyun, allowing time for the courtyards, cultural spaces and spa. Arrange a separate day in central Shanghai rather than treating the retreat as a city-centre hotel.
Suggested stay: Amanyangyun ↗
Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake
Move to West Lake for early shoreline walks, a tea-grower visit and a leisurely afternoon at the hotel. Request a boat outing and a table at Jin Sha in advance; inclusions and availability need a separate quote.
Suggested stay: Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake ↗
Exterior of Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou, with Jinji Lake and city centre in the background
End in Suzhou with a garden visit and a silk-embroidery studio appointment. Ask about a Kunqu performance on your dates, then leave an afternoon free for the lake and the hotel.
Suggested stay: Four Seasons Hotel Suzhou ↗Videos open on their publisher’s site. YouTube is unavailable in mainland China; watch before travelling.
