From ancient water towns to the electric skyline of the Bund — this 9-day journey through Hangzhou and Shanghai offers young travellers an immersive encounter with China's past, present, and future.

Beginning in the mist-shrouded canal streets of Wuzhen, the journey moves through Hangzhou's UNESCO-listed West Lake, into the lecture halls of Zhejiang University, through the silk workshops and tea plantations that define this region — before arriving in Shanghai for four days of discovery: Zhujiajiao's ancient bridges, Disney's modern spectacle, the city's great landmarks, and its most creative neighbourhoods.
