I had half a day left in Shanghai, I asked Wanderlust for recommendations on places to visit. That's when I booked with Wanderlust Shanghai for the second time, and went to Zujiajio with the same guide. The name was a bit hard to remember, but it's a water town. I told them I love taking photos, so they took me to various hidden spots in the water town for photos. I'm really, really grateful for their thoughtfulness. I'm not someone who usually joins organized tours. But here is just too many people and Wanderlust Shanghai is a team listening to my wants and needs and then coming up with recommendations that not only met, but exceeded, them, based on their detailed knowledge of the cities we want to visit.
