About this activity

Experience the poetic beauty of Hangzhou in a day filled with nature, culture, and fun. Begin at West Lake, visiting a hidden lakeside garden and gliding across peaceful waters on a local water bus, then wander along the lakeside.

After lunch, opt for a gentle short hike to capture panoramic views, or visit Leifeng Pagoda with convenient elevator access to enjoy the scenery effortlessly. In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the heart of the Longjing tea plantations: pluck fresh tea leaves, hand-roast them, and savour the freshly brewed tea. Bathed in soft sunlight amid rustling tea leaves, this makes the perfect serene ending to your day in Hangzhou.
