Overview

Chase a golden Taihu sunset on a relaxed private afternoon trip from Shanghai. Explore the scenic lakeside greenway, photograph iconic landmarks, and watch the famous sunset glow.

About This Tour

Experience the magical golden hour over South Taihu Lake on this relaxed private afternoon-to-evening trip from Shanghai. After a comfortable hotel pickup, settle into your private air-conditioned car for the short, easy drive to the lakeside town of Huzhou, where the day is all about scenery, photos, and unwinding by the water.

With your private English-speaking guide, explore the beautiful South Taihu lakeside greenway at a gentle, leisurely pace. Stop to photograph signature landmarks including the Nangong Dike, the Qidu twin pagodas, the photogenic 'Little Kamakura' waterfront, the harbor lighthouse, and the famous Sheraton 'horseshoe' building that glows beautifully at dusk. Optional easy cycling along the flat, fully separated lakeside path can be arranged, but nothing is strenuous.

As the sun lowers, settle in at a prime viewpoint to watch the golden light spread across the lake, one of the region's most stunning sunset spots, with the chance of a spectacular evening afterglow. Enjoy a relaxed dinner near Moon Square before your private car returns you directly to your Shanghai hotel. A wonderfully easy, scenic way to end the day with authentic lakeside China.
