We will gather at the designated location to sign in and depart on time at 12:30

It takes about an hour and a half to reach the campsite at Xushan Village in Jiaxing. Xushan, as a new landmark of Nanhu, is the birthplace of Jiaxing's Dragon Boat Festival culture.

For the July batch, due to traffic management on Kaixuan Road, the original gathering point has been changed to a new gathering point: near Exit 7 of Yishan Road Subway Station (Line 3/4/9), Xuhui District, Shanghai. The gathering time remains unchanged.

2:00 PM

Change into your swimming clothes (you can wear a swimsuit and swimming trunks, be prepared to get wet), and take sun protection measures!

Under the guidance of professional coaches, we will deeply analyze the safety points of water sports to help you build a solid safety concept and ensure that you are confident before entering the water.

Of course, to experience the full fun, you also need the courage to touch the water! Let's start the holiday fun mode together!

2:30 PM - 4:00 PM: Experience the charm of SUP (Kayaking is also an option for those who don't want to try it) (Due to limited water area, to ensure the experience of water activities, we can only accommodate one car. If you have a two-car group, we will move the two-car group's tourists to the waters next to Xushan Village for water activities)

4:00 PM

After an intense water activity, you can change clothes and rest for a while in the camp to recover your strength. During this time, you can take a leisurely stroll in Xushan Village and appreciate the beautiful villages of Jiangnan. Of course, you can also stay in the camp and enjoy the beautiful summer time, or play a game of frisbee against the wind.

4:30 PM

We gathered and boarded the bus, ready to head to Xitang Ancient Town (approximately 0.5 hours by car)

Arriving at Xitang Ancient Town, the filming location for Jay Chou's music video for "Tianya Passerby," let's enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Xitang's transition from day to night. Enjoy some free time to wander, take a boat tour, and discover authentic Jiaxing delicacies (tourist groups are welcome to share meals).

As night falls and the lights come on, red lanterns light up, small boats begin to row, and groups of tourists cheer up. Or you can choose to step into a small shop with Xitang characteristics and spend some time alone. No matter what, freeze the beautiful scene at this moment!

8:15 PM

The night tour ends and we gather back to Shanghai

9:30 PM

When we arrived in Shanghai, everyone was reluctant to leave and felt like they had not seen enough!

What is SUP? SUP stands for Stand-Up Paddle, which is a combination of surfing and traditional hand-paddleboarding. SUP originated in Hawaii. In the beginning, surfing coaches used paddles to help students observe the situation and move more easily. However, this accidentally led to the birth of a water sport. SUP has gradually become popular around the world in recent years and has become one of the most fashionable water sports.

Jiaxing, with a history of more than 2,000 years, is one of the birthplaces of Jiangnan culture. It is a great place to enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan water towns!

Xitang Nightscape: It's still early in the morning, and the lights are gradually brightening. Boats glide leisurely, lanterns sway in the water, and the transition from dusk to blue night is a breathtaking sight, reminiscent of the "Red Dust Inn" in Jay Chou's song!
