Renowned alongside West Lake and Xiling Scenic Area as the three iconic landmarks of Hangzhou, Xixi Wetland is China’s rare prime urban wetland reserve with well-preserved primitive ecological scenery. Compared with globally famous West Lake, which is always swarmed with massive tourists all year round, Xixi features a far vaster wetland landscape with much fewer visitors. Free from crowds, noise and hustle, you can embrace peaceful, undisturbed immersive travel moments. Beyond simple landscape sightseeing, Xixi offers diverse travel experiences. Glide along quiet waterways on traditional boats, stroll along ecological dykes, explore ancient water villages and profound Jiangnan cultural heritage. With distinctive seasonal views all year round, activities including boating, bird watching and nature walking are available. It is an ideal hidden gem for travellers eager to escape crowds and experience the authentic poetic charm of southern China water towns.
