A long day for a famous lake
Hangzhou is known for West Lake and its gardens. Ten hours includes travel, so the time at each stop is shorter than the headline suggests.
Read the activity page for the route and the transport used.
Compare with the shorter trips
Suzhou and the water towns are listed at 8 to 9 hours. If you are unsure, those trips leave more time for dinner in Shanghai.
