Shanghai: Longjing Tea Hills & Ancient Path Private Day Trip

A gentle private day from Shanghai into Hangzhou's Longwu tea country. Stroll an ancient path between mirror-like reservoirs, admire thousand-acre tea fields, and relax at a scenic tea house.
Discover the source of China's legendary Longjing (Dragon Well) green tea on a relaxed private day from Shanghai. Your private car and English-speaking guide collect you from your hotel, then it is an easy drive into the rolling tea hills of Wuchao and Longwu, the heartland of Hangzhou's most famous tea.

At Dongwu Village you enter Wuchaoshan National Forest Park, a peaceful world far from city noise. A gentle, well-kept path leads through emerald woods to the Feifengyan viewing platform, where the calm green waters of Dayangwu Reservoir spread below; in spring the rhododendrons are in bloom. You will walk a stretch of the historic Doufupi (Tofu Skin) Ancient Path, a centuries-old trade route, while your guide shares how local families once carried bean-curd goods over these hills to Hangzhou's restaurants and temples.

The scenery opens onto thousand-acre tea plantations rolling like a green carpet, dotted with tea farmers at work, a beautifully tranquil and photogenic scene. Your guide leads you to a quiet, locals-only photo spot above Guangmingsi Reservoir, perfect for pictures (bring your own outfit if you fancy a costume photo) and a stop at the popular roadside coffee cart.

The day finishes at a stylish tea-house rest stop, where you can unwind, sip a cup of fresh Longjing, refill on hot water and soak up the calm. This is a soft, scenic walk rather than a hike, ideal for families, couples and tea lovers. Private vehicle, dedicated guide, flexible timing and pet-friendly throughout.
