Beautiful city lights and Roy was a great guide for the trip sharing a lot of the history of the buildings and area during the cruise. Others said the food was sub par but I enjoyed it, good selection on the buffet and a bonus “small lobster” that was delicious.

This experience was very fun. We enjoyed taking the train and walking along the wall. It was quite hot and humid so remember to bring sunblock! We enjoyed hearing all of the history of the area from our guide, Andrew. I appreciated how he customized our dining options to accommodate my husband’s dietary restrictions.
Wonderful day trip from Shanghai to Linhai!

Summer, our guide was so friendly, warm and knowledgeable. She handled every detail of our day trip perfectly! This was a great day trip from the bustling city of Shanghai to the more laid back, quiet beautiful city of Linhai. The city has its own Great Wall and is set in a picturesque landscape of mountains and a large river. There is also a beautiful lake with so much to see. We traveled by bullet train there and back (2 hours and 3 hours), which was comfortable and enjoyable. We had a local Chinese lunch of crab noodles and pork meatballs which were both delicious. We saw a local theater show which was in a small group and quite entertaining. Then we walked the streets of the old town which is rich in history, architecture and culture with lots of great shops to buy souvenirs and try local food and drinks. If you have a full day to explore another city other than Shanghai, we highly recommend this well planned day trip to Linhai.
