Upon meeting, we will begin the tour with a transfer to Shanghai Railway Station. You'll take a high-speed train from Shanghai Railway Station to Hangzhou Railway Station, which takes approximately 1 x hour. Please advise your passport details in advance so we can book your train tickets for you! 

After arriving into Hangzhou, a driver will be awaiting our arrival and when we've met him/her, we'll travel to Hangzhou's foremost attraction - the incredible West Lake.  You'll also have the opportunity for a private cruise on West Lake to appreciate the views from the water level and of surrounding Hangzhou - considered by some to be China's most livable city!

Following the West Lake boat tour, you'll travel to a local tea farmer's house for a unique Chinese lunch. This experience is very authentic and includes 6 x different dishes as well as drinks. Thereafter, explore the surrounding tea plantations at the nearby Meijiawu Green Tea Village. Walk into a tea plantation and learn about tea leaves, growing tea and admire the panoramic views overlooking the entire plantation.

In the afternoon, explore Hefang Walking Street, which features a number of traditional, Qing-dynasty style buildings. We'll visit a local Chinese herbal medicine pharmacy (not tourist trap) to get a brief understanding of Chinese medicine. Afterwards, visit one of Hangzhou's hidden gems at the Wan Song Ancient Academy. From there, return to Hangzhou Railway Station to take a high-speed train back to Shanghai, followed by a private transfer to your Shanghai Hotel to conclude this day tour. END OF TOUR.
