Itinerary
Pick up from your midtown hotel in Hangzhou and head to a wharf at West Lake for boat cruise. (West Lake Cruise) There are many lakes named "West Lake" in China, but the "West Lake" here in Hangzhou is usually considered the most beautiful among all. It is surrounded by hills on its three sides, with an area of about 6.5 square kilometers.
Finish your cruise at the Huagang Park Wharf. Move on to Huagang Park ( Fish Viewing at the Flower Pond Park ). The Huagang Park was a private garden of an official in the Southern Song Dynasty about 800 years ago. Now it has been greatly renovated and turned into large park of over 20 hectares.
Then vist Lingyin Temple. Lingyin Temple is a Buddhist temple of the Chan sect nestled in the Flying Peak north-west of Hangzhou. It is one of the largest Buddhist temples in China. The Flying Peak features a large number of grottos and religious rock carvings.
Then go for lunch, you will have local dishes like West Lake Fish prepared with vinegar (Xīhú Cù Yú), and the famous beggar's chicken—stuffed chicken wrapped in lotus leaves and cooked in clay (jiàohuà jī). Given the ever-increasing number of foreign tourists and the growing taste Chinese have for international cuisines, Hangzhou also is home to a number of good non-Chinese restaurants.
After lunch,you are taken to Longjing Tea Fields to experience the traditional method of making Longjing (Dragon Well) Tea as well drinking, picking, smelling or buying. Hangzhou is famous for its Longjing Tea, one of the best green teas in China.
After the whole day tour, you will be transferred back to your midtown hotel in Hangzhou.
