For us, what stayed with me wasn't the booking or the car. It was the time at Hangzhou Customized Day from SH by Bullet Train, when we could slow down and actually look around.
Marta D.🇦🇺 Australia★★★★★2026-05
Practically speaking, I liked that the day had structure without feeling scripted. Questions were answered properly, and there was also time to look around in silence. I would keep the Shanghai and Hangzhou outline as it was.
Pierre O.🇵🇹 Portugal★★★★☆2025-04
I underestimated how much standing the day involved. A short sit-down between stops made the second half much easier. The time around Hangzhou Customized Day from SH by Bullet Train was not the part I would cut.
Mei T.🇬🇧 UK★★★★★2024-11
Honestly, I had a long list of things I thought I needed to see. After Shanghai and Hangzhou, I was happier slowing down and noticing fewer things properly.
