QingHeFangHistoric Alleyways Walking Tour (30-45 min) This tour unfolds at the foot of 吴山｜Wu Shan Hill, where the Song Dynasty’s royal courts once overlooked lively local neighborhoods. Begin at Da Jing Xiang, a network of historic alleyways filled with ancient courtyard homes and restored workshop spaces. You’ll walk past the heritage sites of traditional Chinese craftsmanship - scissors (张小泉｜Zhang Xiao Quan), umbrellas (王星记｜Wang Xing Ji), and herbal medicine companies. Many buildings here have been thoughtfully transformed into independent cafés and cultural studios, blending heritage with creativity.
-
Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Hu Qing Yu Tang)Chinese Medicine Musuem Tour (30-45min) Our major stop on Da Jing Xiang is a Chinese Medicine Museum, housed in a 200-year-old mansion once considered to have the largest shop sign in China - branding before branding existed. Operated by a local medicine legacy brand 胡庆余堂｜Hu Qing Yu Tang, this museum offers not only insight into Traditional Chinese Medicine, but also a walk through classical Chinese garden aesthetics. You’ll finish your visit with a free herbal tea in the majestic old apothecary hall.
-
Hangzhou Chenghuang PagodaMini-Hike on Wu Shan (90-120min) Next, we’ll ascend 吴山｜Wu Shan, a gentle climb rich in legend and spiritual markers. Don’t worry—it’s not steep, but the trails we follow were once trekked by hikers for centuries. Along the way, you’ll discover scattered Taoist and Buddhist temples, the fire-watching 城隍庙｜Cheng Huang Miao (City God Temple), zodiac-shaped rock formations, a hidden wall carving of Buddha that only reveals itself when wet, and a secret pavilion offering one of the most stunning panoramic views of both West Lake and the modern city skyline.
-
HangzhouOpen-Air Market at the Foot of Wu Shan (30min) Descending the trail, we arrive at 大马弄| Da Ma Long market, the last old-school alley market in Hangzhou that is a local favorite. It's raw, real, and buzzing. You’ll see traditional wet market culture in action, vendors shouting prices, locals bargaining for fresh produce, street snacks sizzling, and Hangzhou-specific treats rarely found elsewhere. It’s a raw and unforgettable slice of the city’s everyday rhythm that few tourists get to witness.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
