Description
Travel from Shanghai to Hangzhou by high speed train for a private day at West Lake and Meijiawu tea village. Enjoy a farmhouse lunch, discover Longjing tea and choose one hands on cultural workshop.
Begin your day at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, where you board your reserved high speed train to Hangzhou independently. Your private English speaking guide and driver will meet you at Hangzhou East Railway Station.
Start with a relaxed guided walk beside West Lake. Your guide will introduce the stories and scenery that have made the lake central to Hangzhou’s culture. Afterwards, enjoy a farmhouse lunch near the tea village. A RMB 100 meal allowance per guest is included, and your guide can help you choose and order dishes.
Continue to Meijiawu and Shimei Tea House to explore the landscape and craftsmanship behind Longjing green tea. Depending on the season and weather, you may try picking tea leaves with local guidance. Learn about traditional hand roasting through an introductory experience or demonstration, then sit down for a guided tea tasting. Tea purchases are optional; there are no compulsory shopping stops.
Complete your visit with one workshop of your choice: Song style tea whisking, lacquer fan making or a tea scented sachet workshop. Please tell us your choice when booking so the materials can be prepared.
Your guide and driver will take you back to Hangzhou East Railway Station and help you find the correct entrance and train. You then return independently to Shanghai Hongqiao, where the tour ends.
