Begin your Hangzhou exploration by meeting the guide in the hotel lobby, before embarking on an adventure in a private vehicle. The itinerary is flexible and can be adjusted according to your preferences. Simply communicate this to the guide.

The first stop is the UNESCO-listed West Lake, renowned as one of China's most beautiful sights and celebrated in countless poems and artworks. Enjoy a serene boat ride across its tranquil waters, taking in views of historic pagodas and arched bridges that enhance the area's natural beauty. Following this, visit Lingyin Temple and Feilai Peak. Explore China’s largest and oldest Buddhist temple, a centre for Buddhist research, with the guide providing insights into its rich history. Then, stroll along a cobblestone path to Amanfayun Village, where traditional houses are nestled amidst tea fields, offering a sense of peaceful charm.

After lunch at a local eatery, the afternoon activities can be tailored to your interests. You may choose to wander Hefang Street, a historic route dating back to the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279), once a hub of commerce and culture. With the guide's assistance, discover street food, crafts, trinkets, and souvenirs. Alternatively, you could visit Meijiawu Tea Village, located in the rural foothills of West Lake. Here, learn about the production of Xihu Longjing tea and savour a fragrant cup in the scenic surroundings. The tour concludes with a return journey to your Hangzhou hotel.
