Activity itinerary

Lingyin Temple

  • 2h
After booking, we will confirm your pickup location. You can choose hotel pickup or a train/high-speed rail station in Hangzhou. On the morning of your tour, I will arrive early and wait for you in the hotel lobby or agreed meeting point. Our first stop is Lingyin Temple, a famous Buddhist site with a long history. Then we visit Feilai Peak, known for its stone carvings and unique rock formations. Just bring a good mood—leave everything else to me. I will guide you through Hangzhou and share insights into its history and culture. No tipping required. Transparent pricing for a worry-free experience.

Xihu (Pass by)

After visiting the first attraction, we will head to West Lake. Depending on traffic and timing, we may take either Beishan Road or Nanshan Road, both offering beautiful lakeside scenery along the way. We can also make short stops if needed to get off, take a walk, and enjoy the lake views and photos.

Hefang Street

  • 2h
Our next stop is Hefang Street, a historic old street filled with traditional architecture, local snacks, and handmade crafts. It is one of the best places to experience the charm of old Hangzhou. Here, you can stroll freely and enjoy the atmosphere of traditional local life and culture. Lunch can be arranged around Hefang Street, where a wide variety of local food options are available. Lunch is not included in the tour price. We will recommend and take you to suitable restaurants based on your taste preferences, allowing you to enjoy authentic Hangzhou cuisine with ease.

Gongchenqiao Residential District

  • 1h
Our next stop continues along the Grand Canal, a key part of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along the way, you will see well-preserved traditional Hangzhou residential houses, offering an authentic view of historic water-town life. The former textile factories along the canal have been transformed into museums and creative spaces, reflecting the successful integration of urban renewal and heritage preservation. We will take a walk along the canal and immerse ourselves in the lively local atmosphere, experiencing the most authentic and everyday side of Hangzhou. This marks the end of our tour. If you wish, we can take a short break here before leaving. After the tour, I will safely drive you back to your hotel or to any location you prefer.
