Detailed Tour Itinerary:
In the morning, your private Shanghai driver will meet you in the hotel lobby and drive to Hangzhou for your private Hangzhou Day Tour from Shanghai.
Upon arrival in Hangzhou, you will meet your professional local tour guide. As a Hangzhou native, they’ll be ready to introduce you to the city’s rich history, centuries-old traditions, and must-see attractions.
Your first stop will be Longjing (Dragon Well) Tea Village, a peaceful area surrounded by rolling green hills and emerald tea terraces. Here, you’ll wander through the tea fields, learn about traditional tea-farming methods, and discover why Longjing Tea is considered one of China’s finest. The combination of fresh air, natural beauty, and cultural heritage makes this the perfect way to begin your Hangzhou experience.
Before exploring the Longjing Tea Plantation in depth, you’ll enjoy a delicious local Hangzhou lunch at a nearby village restaurant (included in the tour). This is a wonderful chance to taste authentic Hangzhou dishes and experience the region’s culinary traditions, famous for their freshness and subtle flavours.
After Lunch, you will visit at a local Longjing tea farm, where you can see how tea leaves are cultivated and processed. Participate in a tea tasting and learn the proper way to brew traditional Chinese tea. This hands-on experience gives a deeper understanding of Hangzhou’s tea heritage.
Next, you will visit the picturesque West Lake, where you’ll board a boat for a relaxing cruise. As you glide across the tranquil waters, you’ll take in the scenic beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage site, with its traditional pagodas, lush greenery, and mist-covered hills in the background.
Afterward, visit Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor Park (Huagang Park), known for its colorful flower displays, tranquil koi ponds where you could feed the gold fishes, and peaceful walking paths. This area is one of Hangzhou’s most picturesque spots, perfect for photography and relaxation.
If time allows, enjoy a walk along Hefang Street or browse local shops for souvenirs. Your guide can recommend unique items and local specialties to take home.
At the end of your Hangzhou day tour, you’ll bid farewell to your local guide before returning to Shanghai. Your private Shanghai driver will take you comfortably back to the city and drop you off at your hotel. This marks the end of your Shanghai to Hangzhou Private Day Tour.
