Was a lovely tailored experience and I had a lot of fun! Really appreciated the close communication prior to the session and we also got to select the style, colour and assessories with the stylist on the spot! There is a small team to style, do make-up and take professional photos. They were experienced and gave great recommendations too! Would recommend avoiding public holidays as the area where photos are taken (西湖) does get quite crowded. The photographer will teach you to pose if you’re awkward like us haha

Ordered for delivery to the hotel in Shanghai. Delivery was prompt by courier but no notification of parcel tracking and delivery time. Had to ask the hotel a few times to be able to get the cards. Other than that, cards were cute and usable.

Booked 2 cars to 乌镇. Drivers are hospitable and punctual. However, do note that the package does not cover the full mileage for the round-trip to 乌镇 (~191km). We had to pay extra on top of the price paid to Klook.

I chose a guided tour mainly because, after researching, I found that the cost was about the same as traveling independently with multiple transfers. Not having to transfer was fantastic. This time, our tour guide, Xiao Fang, guided us through Wuzhen East柵 and led us into the Nanxun Scenic Area. Although the combined tour resulted in a large crowd, requiring us to stay very close to hear the guide properly (I constantly heard 'You have fallen behind' from my headset), it definitely added much more depth to the travel experience compared to just wandering around on our own and listening to a guide. True to the itinerary description, lunch, tour headsets, and the boat cruise were not included in the tour fee. Lunch was filling and might only be considered specialty food for foreigners, but the other two items are highly recommended for optional purchase. There were some foreigners in our group, which I felt slightly detracted from the overall experience, but purely from the perspective of a shared shuttle tour, it was actually quite alright. Aside from the riverside and bridges in East Zha, I also highly recommend going inside the Hongyuantai Dye Workshop for photos; since we visited on a weekend, the alleys should have been great for photos too otherwise. As for Nanxun, following Tour Guide Xiao Fang's advice, we headed straight to the Hundred-Jian Building. The walk was a bit far, and at one point I wondered why I had suddenly left the tourist area, but it was truly worth seeing. If you have plenty of time and a travel companion, I highly recommend finding a place to sit down, dine by the river, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Ding Sheng cake is also recommended to try (I bought it freshly steamed and it was quite good). The night offers a completely different scenery, and I originally chose this tour because it included viewing the night view. Overall, the experience was pretty good.

It was a full bus load of tourists and everywhere we went, it was crowded. but the guide, Chen Lei, did very well to make sure that nobody went missing as we walk the streets, cross the roads and weave through the multitudes of people. There was an additional fee of CNY110 per person. 40 for lunch at a buffet restaurant that is basically like hunger games - hundreds of people crowding to get food. 10 for the earpiece to listen to the guide - this is useful. 60 for the boat ride and a short Suzhou music performance.

It was a great experience and many beautiful places were shown. As I am not able to speak chinese I could not fully understand the historical explanations, but the guide (and the translator) helped me a lot to experience it!

What to know before visiting Hangzhou
What to do in Hangzhou year-round
Hangzhou is best known for guided Tours, Events & shows and visits to Historical sites, with family-friendly Playgrounds and Theme parks also present. Klook booking data shows demand builds to a strong spring peak in April then eases through summer into a quiet autumn: April is the busiest month while September is the quietest. If you prioritise atmosphere and a full events calendar, travel in April or May; if you prefer smaller crowds, aim for the quieter autumn months. Decide whether you want festival energy or a more relaxed visit. Based on Klook booking data.
Best months to visit and price rhythm
April is the clear demand peak while September is the trough, and prices only sometimes follow the same pattern. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in April and remains elevated in May, yet the priciest hotel and activity prices on Klook happened in July. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider March, June or October when demand is lower and median prices dip; for peak-season atmosphere choose April or July but expect higher demand and, in July, higher typical prices. Choose between quieter, cheaper months or lively, pricier peak months.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Busier than usual | USD 56 |
| February | Quieter than usual | USD 41 |
| March | Very quiet | USD 17 |
| April | Peak demand | USD 29 |
| May | Peak demand | USD 23 |
| June | Busier than usual | USD 18 |
| July | Busier than usual | USD 63 |
| August | Very quiet | USD 63 |
| September | Very quiet | USD 61 |

Where to stay: price ranges by district
Klook booking data shows Shanghai's typical nightly hotel prices in Hangzhou vary by district: Shangcheng is the most affordable with a typical nightly rate around USD 65, while Xihu is the priciest at about USD 122, a gap of roughly 47% between them. Cheaper districts tend to suit budget-minded travellers or those who plan to be out sightseeing most days, while pricier districts suit travellers seeking a more polished hotel experience and a quieter base. Pick budget or comfort based on the kind of trip you want. Klook booking data.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers from the United States book experiences on Klook around 16 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking about 43 days out, so allow a bit of planning before arrival. Because April is the busiest month and July shows the priciest median prices on Klook, consider locking in key tours or shows earlier if you travel then; for off-peak months you can be more flexible and sometimes book closer to arrival. Book on Klook to secure dates and options you want, and use the platform to compare typical prices and availability shown in Klook booking data.
