Why the day runs long
Nine hours is longer than the private Zhujiajiao tour, which Civitatis lists at 8. Read the activity page for the group size and what fills the extra hour.
Water towns are small. If you have time for only one, this is the best known of the Shanghai options.
Water town or garden city
Zhouzhuang is another water town. Suzhou is a garden city with more to see in a day. The tours below let you compare scores and lengths side by side.
