Just saw this website. I am going to Shanghai next Monday and would like to visit and stay a night at one of the water cities, and visit Suzhou & Hangzhou. Which water city do you all recommend and which hotel/hostel there should I stay? Is there a reasonably priced good local travel agent that anyone can recommend for these sectors?

If we travel on our own, what is the best itinerary?

Thank you so much.
