Shanghai & Zhujiajiao 3D2N — compact
- City break
- 3 days / 2 nights
- 2 places
- Quoted on brief
Overview
What this journey is
The tightest build here. Day one collects the client and goes straight into Line A, cruise included; day two is Zhujiajiao; day three does Line B and then the airport. It fits the whole of the Shanghai shelf plus a canal town into three days, and it only works if both flights cooperate — an early arrival and a late departure. Say so to the client before they book rather than after.

Operational notes
The things worth raising before you quote it, not after.
- Both flights are load-bearing: a late arrival costs day one’s sightseeing and an early departure costs day three’s. Send both flight numbers with the brief.
- Yu Garden closes on Mondays. Tell us the arrival date and we will move the Shanghai days around it rather than dropping the garden.
- Client hotels are quoted separately, against your room-type brief.
- The three-day Shanghai-only build is the softer version if the flights do not fit.
- Rates do not apply over the China International Import Expo or Chinese New Year. Other major trade fairs are usually fine at more than a month's notice.
- Booked inside a fair week, vehicles and guides get scarce and pricing moves with the market.
- Large groups may need a luggage vehicle, which is quoted on top.
- An evening meal or an evening activity adds a guide and vehicle surcharge.
