Description
Discover the beauty of contemporary Hangzhou on a private tour. Visit a reclaimed gorge transformed into a sculptural landscape garden and a repurposed mid-century factory complex.
Begin your journey at the ShanShan Garden Landscape, a site that epitomizes creative resilience. Once a derelict quarry littered with construction waste, this private, 15-acre paradise was painstakingly reclaimed by four visionary landscape artists who dreamed of reuniting people with nature.
Admire the undulating lawn shaped into a phoenix—a land-art gesture symbolizing rebirth. The garden’s pathways, stone sculptures, natural water features, and mossy banks form a contemporary, walkable landscape painting.
Next, head to the Dongxin Hechuang Yuan, a sanctuary of a different kind. Once the proud Hangzhou Post and Telecommunications Equipment Factory, its 61 somber, grey-brick buildings, built in the 1950s, now house a community of designers, artisans, and tastemakers in a tranquil, leafy campus.
Stroll along quiet lanes, discovering world-class furniture design, concept clothing stores, and intimate art galleries housed within these grand, industrial-scale structures. The patina of time on the bricks and the faded political slogans offer a fascinating dialogue between the old and the new.
To complete the experience, stop for a restorative coffee or locally sourced tea at a stylish gallery-coffee house, allowing you to further absorb the unique energy of this repurposed space.
