Stuck with a 10-hour layover in Shanghai, I turned to Your Way Holiday for a private customized tour—and it was the best decision I made all trip. The itinerary, featuring Yuyuan Garden, Jade Buddha Temple, Old French Concession, and The Bund, was perfectly curated for a short but meaningful visit.

The team handled all the logistics seamlessly: a driver picked me up directly from the airport, skipped the long lines at Yuyuan Garden and Jade Buddha Temple, and timed each stop to avoid peak crowds. The flow was genius—starting with the serene Jade Buddha Temple to ease into the day, then exploring Yuyuan’s traditional beauty before wandering the laid-back Old French Concession for a quick bite. We ended at The Bund just as the lights turned on, and the skyline views were absolutely stunning.

I loved that the tour was private—I could linger at the temple to take photos, ask the guide endless questions about Shanghai’s history, and even detour to a street food stall in the French Concession without worrying about holding up a group. By the time I was dropped back at the airport, I felt like I’d seen the best of Shanghai—no stress, no wasted time.

Your Way Holiday’s private layover tour of Yuyuan Garden, Jade Buddha Temple, Old French Concession, and The Bund showed me two sides of Shanghai I never expected.

Jade Buddha Temple’s quiet spirituality and Yuyuan’s ancient charm felt like a step back in time, while the Old French Concession’s tree-lined streets offered a cozy, European-style vibe. The Bund, though? That’s where Shanghai’s modern magic shines—watching the skyline light up as the sun went down was breathtaking.

The private tour meant no crowds, no rush, just pure enjoyment. 10/10 for anyone with a layover looking to see Shanghai’s highlights!

This day trip covering Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town, The Bund, and Yuyuan Garden & Bazaar with Your Way Holiday was the ideal way to see Shanghai’s dual personality.

Zhujiajiao was a peaceful escape from the city buzz—wandering the stone bridges, gliding along the canals, and sampling sticky rice cakes from street vendors felt like stepping into a Chinese painting. Then, moving to The Bund was a stunning contrast: the colonial-era buildings lined up against the futuristic Pudong skyline, and the sunset views over the Huangpu River were absolutely breathtaking. Yuyuan Garden & Bazaar capped it off perfectly—we wandered the lush garden pavilions first, then got lost in the bustling bazaar, picking up silk scarves and trying crispy shengjianbao (pan-fried buns) from a tiny family-run stall.

The itinerary was perfectly paced—no rushing, no long waits, just enough time to soak in each spot. This tour isn’t just about checking landmarks off a list; it’s about experiencing the soul of Shanghai. 10/10 recommend!

Loved our Your Way Holiday tour with Andy, blending Tianzifang’s old-world charm, Oriental Pearl’s futuristic views, and Shanghai Science and Technology Museum’s innovation.

This trip exceeded all expectations, from start to finish! Your Way Holiday truly knows how to plan an itinerary that blends culture, history, and breathtaking views. We started in Shanghai, with its perfect mix of modern city vibes and rich history, then ventured to the peaceful gardens of Suzhou and the serene beauty of Hangzhou’s West Lake. Each destination had its own charm, with surprises waiting around every corner, from ancient temples to tranquil tea plantations.

The real highlight was Huangshan, where the sunrise over the mountains left me speechless. The trip was carefully curated, with just the right balance of sightseeing and relaxation. I was constantly amazed by the stunning landscapes and the cultural richness of every place we visited. This was an unforgettable journey that I’d recommend to anyone looking for an immersive experience in China.
