Hangzhou Xixi Wetland and Longjing Village Tea Picking Day Tour
Hangzhou has always been an ideal retreat for literati and artists throughout history. Besides West Lake, Xixi and Longjing are ideal and classic landscape representations of the Chinese traditional landscape aesthetics of "harmony between nature and humanity" and "secluded culture."
This day of local travel combines two major Hangzhou IPs: Xixi National Wetland Park and Longjing Village. We integrate local culture into the journey, leisurely experiencing a day of Hangzhou's reclusive tea life.

Our assigned driver and guide DONG shared with us stories along the route and he brought us to the places we have booked. For lunch, he brought us to a local restaurant which served delicious steamed fish and value for money too.

The entire itinerary was very well organized, and we were incredibly lucky to have great weather and an excellent driver, Master Liu. He arranged everything perfectly, helped us take many fantastic photos, and all the activities, from the restaurant lunches to the arrangements in Longjing Village, were wonderful. Highly recommended!
