Overview

The Grand Canal links Nanjing, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang into one continuous piece of history. Over five days you will see morning mist on Slender West Lake, hear the bell at Jinshan Temple and walk the flagstones of Xijindu — a canal route usually known only to locals.

Highlights

  • Slender West Lake in Yangzhou: the Five Pavilion Bridge, the White Pagoda and the Twenty-Four Bridge
  • Ge Garden and Dongguan Street: salt merchants' residences and a thousand-year-old street
  • Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, setting of the legend of the White Snake
  • Xijindu: the only fully preserved ferry-town street on the Yangtze
  • Zhonghua Gate and an evening cruise on the Qinhuai in Nanjing
  • No shopping stops — pure cultural depth
