Travel guide from Qingdao to Xitang, Zhouzhuang and Hangzhou.

Fly to Hangzhou. First visit the West Lake, then go to China Academy of Art Xiangshan Campus. Then take a bus from Hangzhou Jiubao Passenger Transport Center to Xitang, visit the ancient town during the day and enjoy the night view by boat at night. The next day, I took a bus from Xitang to Suzhou, and then took a bus from Suzhou to Zhouzhuang. Then Zhouzhuang takes a bus to Kunshan, Kunshan takes a train to Shanghai, and Shanghai flies back to Qingdao. If you can buy discounted air tickets online, it may cost 3000 yuan or less in total.

Xitang doesn't accept tickets on weekends, but it costs money to take a boat. It is recommended to stay outside the scenic spot.
