This route is in development — the waitlist shapes it. Here's the sketch:

  • D01Arrive on the Bund — Check in. Look up. Regroup at the rooftop.
  • D02French Concession + speakeasy crawl — Plane trees by day, hidden doors by night.
  • D03Canal day — Gardens, canals, and the fastest day-trip train you've ever taken.
  • D04West Lake — The lake every poem is about.
  • D05Art, coffee, one last rooftop — M50 galleries into a proper send-off.
  • D06Depart — The group chat schedules the reunion.

Getting in is easier than your parents remember.

  • Canadian, British or Australian passport? You're in visa-free — up to 30 days, no application, through Dec 31, 2026.
  • US passport? Get the standard tourist visa — that's the route we recommend: walk in at your nearest Chinese consulate, no appointment, and it's typically issued for 10 years of trips. The 240-hour visa-free transit only works if you fly onward to a third country or region — treat it as a backup, not the plan.

Entry policies change. Verify current rules with the Chinese National Immigration Administration or your nearest consulate before booking.
