Route: Baoshi Mountain Trail → City View Platform → Hilltop Tea Pavilion

Your evening begins with a hotel pickup in downtown Hangzhou, where your private guide will lead you to the foothills of Baoshi Mountain—a local favorite often overlooked by tourists. As dusk falls, follow winding stone paths through bamboo groves and past ancient rock carvings, their details softly lit by handheld lanterns. The higher you climb, the more the sounds of the city fade, replaced by cicadas and rustling leaves.

At the summit, Baoshu Pagoda stands silhouetted against the night sky, its reflection glowing in West Lake’s distant waters. Here, your guide will prepare a traditional Longjing tea ceremony at a quiet pavilion, where you’ll sip the famed local brew while watching Hangzhou’s skyline twinkle to life. Along the way, hear tales of the mountain’s legends—from Song Dynasty hermits to the love story behind the pagoda’s name.

The descent follows a different route, passing Geling Cave , where flickering lanterns cast dancing shadows on moss-covered walls. By the time you return to your hotel (around 9:30 PM), you’ll carry the quiet wonder of seeing Hangzhou through the eyes of those who’ve cherished its nights for centuries.
