BEFORE YOU GO

Practical Tips for this trip

A handful of things our editors flag for every China itinerary — sorted from 'must do' to 'nice to know'.

  1. Visa and entry documents

    Most Western passports get 30-day visa-free entry in 2026. Bring your passport (6+ months validity), a printed hotel reservation, and the return ticket — border agents occasionally ask.

  2. Payment setup

    Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay before you fly and link a Visa or Mastercard. Cash still works at small shops but mobile pay is the default almost everywhere.

  3. Connectivity

    Order a China eSIM (Airalo, Holafly, China Unicom) before departure — the visa-free visitors' data plans are now widely supported and cost under $10 for 5 GB.

  4. How we calculated costs

    All figures are in USD per person for the full itinerary, not per day. Backpacker assumes hostel + metro + casual meals; mid-range assumes 3-star hotel + occasional taxi; luxury assumes 5-star + private driver.

BUDGET

Budget Breakdown

OUR PROCESS

How we tested this itinerary

Every itinerary on nihaovisit is walked by at least two editors in real conditions. Here's the method we used for this one.

  1. Step 01

    Editorial research

    Two editors spent ~9 hours refreshing official tickets, transit, and visa pages specific to this 5-day itinerary. We cross-checked prices against at least 3 booking platforms.

  2. Step 02

    On-the-ground booking

    We booked every hotel and ticket ourselves — no screenshots supplied by partners. Each reservation was checked for cancellation terms and refundability.

  3. Step 03

    Walking the itinerary

    At least one editor walked the day-by-day plan in real time, timing transit legs and confirming photo stops actually exist in 2026.

  4. Step 04

    Contingency tests

    We ran the "what if it rains / what if my train is cancelled" scenarios for every day and added fallback options where the risk was non-trivial.

  5. Step 05

    Refund + re-review cycle

    Every itinerary is re-priced and re-tested every 90 days. Last review pass for this page: 2026-06-19.

Frequently asked questions

Is 5 days enough for Shanghai and Hangzhou?
Yes for highlights. 3 days Shanghai + 2 days Hangzhou is the classic split. For deeper exploration, add 1-2 days, especially for a Suzhou or Wuzhen side trip.
How do I get from Shanghai to Hangzhou?
G-class HSR from Shanghai Hongqiao to Hangzhou East: 45 min, ¥73 second class. Runs every 15-30 minutes. Book via Trip.com or 12306.
When is West Lake best?
March-April for cherry blossoms. October-November for fall colors. Avoid Chinese national holidays — West Lake is one of the most crowded spots in China during Golden Week.
Should I add Suzhou or Wuzhen?
Suzhou for gardens (UNESCO) and a half-day trip from Shanghai. Wuzhen for a water town overnight (stay in a canal-side inn). With 5 days, you can fit one of these — Suzhou is easier from Shanghai.
