Description
Cruise Hangzhou's UNESCO Grand Canal by boat. Craft traditional oil-paper art at a heritage workshop, sip herbal tea at Fang Hui Chun Tang, and stroll through scenic Xiaohe Park.
Follow in the historic footsteps of Marco Polo and explore the living heritage of the UNESCO-listed Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal on a private 4-hour guided tour. Combining a relaxing scenic cruise, historic district strolls, traditional craft workshops, and wellness tea, this experience unveils the timeless soul of Hangzhou.
Meet your private English-speaking guide at Wulin Square Station (Exit B) and head to Wulinmen Wharf to board your canal cruise. Glide past historic stone bridges and waterways towards Gongchen Bridge—the ancient canal's southern terminus. Learn how this massive imperial waterway connected northern and southern China for centuries.
Disembark at the historic Qiaoxi Conservation District, admiring preserved late-Qing dynasty riverside architecture. Step inside the Crafts Living Museum for a hands-on workshop led by skilled artisans, where you will paint a traditional Chinese oil-paper item to keep as a one-of-a-kind souvenir.
Next, visit the historic Fang Hui Chun Tang pharmacy (dating back to 1649). Savor a cup of freshly brewed herbal tea (such as smoked plum or aged tangerine peel tea) and discover the Chinese philosophy of food and medicine homology. Conclude your tour at Xiaohe Park, where repurposed industrial oil tanks and elevated corridors blend history and modern art by the canal waters.
