City guide · Hangzhou
Hangzhou, tea & lakeside
China's most poetic city break. Misty causeways and pagodas around West Lake, tea villages in the hills above it, and old water towns a short hop away — slow, green and easy on the eyes.
Day 1
Around West Lake on foot & by bike
Walk the Bai and Su causeways at first light, rent a bike for the quiet southern shore, and climb Leifeng Pagoda for the classic view. We route you away from the tour-flag crowds.
Day 2
Dragon-well tea villages
Head up into Meijiawu and Longjing villages for a tasting with a grower — learn why this tea is a big deal, then a long lazy lunch in the hills.
Day 3
Day trip: a water town
Wuzhen or Xitang by fast train — canals, stone bridges and a slower-paced evening once the day-trippers leave.
