Meet your guide in Shanghai and travel by high-speed train to Hangzhou. After arrival, begin your tour around West Lake, one of the most iconic landscapes in China. Enjoy a guided walk by the lake, with views of bridges, willow trees, pagodas, gardens, and traditional lakeside scenery.

Listen as your guide explains why West Lake has inspired Chinese poets, painters, scholars, and travellers for centuries. Continue to a Longjing tea village or tea culture area, where you can learn about China’s famous Dragon Well green tea.

Depending on the season and daily arrangement, walk near tea fields, learn how tea leaves are selected and processed, and enjoy a tea-tasting experience. This part of the tour offers a calm and cultural contrast to Shanghai’s modern city energy.

The itinerary may also include a visit to a historic street, local area, temple area, or traditional food area depending on timing and the selected package. Enjoy local flavours, take photos, and experience Hangzhou’s slower lifestyle before returning to Shanghai by high-speed train.
