Description
Discover the soul of Hangzhou on a private full-day tour. Explore the ancient Lingyin Temple's Buddhist carvings, sip fresh tea in Longjing Village, and stroll the historic Grand Canal.
Begin your day at Lingyin Temple, one of China's most revered Buddhist temples, set deep in a forested valley. Just outside, Feilai Peak features over 470 ancient stone Buddha carvings dating back to the 10th century — a breathtaking open-air gallery of faith and artistry.
Next, visit the China National Tea Museum, the world's only museum dedicated entirely to tea, surrounded by rolling tea gardens. From there, walk to Longjing Village, birthplace of China's most celebrated green tea, home to 18 ancient imperial tea trees once designated as tribute to Emperor Qianlong. Stroll through terraced hillside gardens and watch farmers hand-fry fresh tea leaves.
Enjoy a relaxed lunch at a local farmhouse restaurant nestled among the tea gardens, tasting authentic Hangzhou dishes.
In the afternoon, explore the Hangzhou Arts & Crafts Museum and Fan Museum, showcasing centuries of silk weaving, lacquerware, embroidery, and the delicate art of the folding fan.
End your day at Gongchen Bridge, the southern terminus of the ancient Grand Canal — a graceful stone bridge built in 1631, where old Hangzhou's unhurried pulse still lives on.
