[quote=CHRIS345,225231]I plan to travel to Shanghai around April 15 2006. My schedule would be 4 or 5 days in Shanghai, plus 2 side trips to Suzhou and Hangzhou (spelling?). I plan to stay one night in Suzhou and one or two nights in Hangzhou. Here are my questions: - Is it worth spending a night in Suzhou (so that I have more time to explore the city), or one full day from Shanghai is enough? - Is it worth spending a couple of nights in Hangzhou? It looks so amazing on pictures and so peaceful that I am thinking of staying there for 2 mights.- Are any of these towns easy to explore on your own, or do you run the risk of missing a lot of things because you don't know where to go (I have Lonely Planet guide, Frommers, Fodors, etc. but still.... maybe I would need a local guide. Any advice?) - I have read somewhere on this board that there is a possibility to go from Suzhou to Hangzhou by boat. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it worth it, too risky, too grungy, etc.? - Any other suggestion for a side trip? My time is limited though.My budget is okay, not unlimited but I don't need to stay in hostels either. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you to all. Christine [/quote]
