&lt;p&gt;East China is the easiest part of China to travel — and the easiest part to get wrong. Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and the water towns sit within 30–90 minutes of each other by high-speed rail, which is exactly why the region gets sold as a &amp;ldquo;3 cities in 4 days&amp;rdquo; sprint. Done that way you spend your holiday in station concourses, arriving in Zhouzhuang at 11am with forty coach groups and leaving before the lights come on.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
