USD 359 per person with round trip airfare, five nights across four cities, a private coach and an English speaking guide. Like our other JuneYao packages the price is low because the itinerary carries compulsory shopping stops, and those are listed plainly further down.
The name comes from Nianhua Bay at Wuxi, a Tang dynasty style resort town that people call the Mini Kyoto of China. You see it lit up at night, which is when it is worth seeing. Nanxun is a genuine old canal town and the boat ride through it is included. Hangzhou gives you West Lake, and the Meijiawu Tea Garden the next morning comes with a Hanfu costume experience.
Day 5 is free, with Shanghai Disneyland or the Jinmao Tower as paid options.

Four stops are built into the itinerary: a latex shop, a pearl exhibition centre, a jade shop and a tea garden. The coach takes you, you go in, and you spend the allotted time. You do not have to buy anything. The supplier applies a penalty if a traveller refuses to go in at all, which is why we call it compulsory. It is also why a six day trip with flights costs this little.
Because of Nianhua Bay at Wuxi, a Tang dynasty style resort town built around a lake, with wooden architecture that reminds people of Kyoto. You visit it at night, lit up, which is when it looks best.
Yes. Round trip Manila to Shanghai Pudong direct with JuneYao Airlines, with one 23kg checked bag and a 5kg carry on. The carry on allowance is smaller than most airlines, so pack accordingly.
Yes, a China group visa at USD 40 per person. Because the whole group travels on one visa you cannot join a different operator on the free day, and you cannot arrive early or stay on afterwards.
Oct 16 and Oct 20 are peak departures at USD 399 per person instead of USD 359. They are shown separately on the booking calendar so you can see the difference before you pick.
USD 459 for a child aged 11 to 18 with a bed on normal dates, USD 399 for a child aged 2 to 10 without a bed, and around USD 199 for an infant, which covers airfare only. Note the 11 to 18 rate is higher than the adult rate. That is what the supplier quotes and we are confirming it, so ask us before booking for a family.
The rate is per person on twin sharing. A room to yourself carries a single supplement of USD 120.
