Tour Details

After picking you up from your hotel at the indicated time, we will begin our guided tour of some of Hangzhou's most important places of interest. Following the Legend of the White Snake, we will head to the Leifeng Pagoda, located on Sunset Hill just south of the West Lake. We will spend an hour and a half uncovering the stories surrounding this five-storey temple, originally built in 975 AD.

After exploring the pagoda, we will proceed to the National China Silk Museum, where we will learn about silk production in the country for over 5000 years and the significance of the Silk Road in Chinese history.

At around midday, we'll pause for lunch at a local restaurant (not included).

With renewed energy, we will continue to the former residence of Hu Xueyan, where we will observe the luxurious lifestyle of the wealthy during the late Qing Dynasty and explore the Zhiyuan Garden, featuring the largest man-made cave in China.

Our next stop will be Qinghefang Street, the city's most historic shopping street, for an hour of exploration. Stroll past its centuries-old shops, enjoy typical snacks, or choose to enter the Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine to learn about herbal-based treatments.

Eight hours after pickup, we will drop you off back at your hotel.
