Hangzhou

You can’t beat the location of this hotel, which is just a short walk to Hefang Street. Affordable accommodation with great room amenities, with good breakfasts. It’s value for money. Highly recommended.

Hotel is right next to the airport, less than 5mins walk after exiting the departure hall! Really convenient after a flight. Hotel is clean and modern.

Wonderful experience at Mumian Hangzhou. their staff are super helpful and attentive, me and my mom had a number of parcels to collect as well as lost items at the previous hotel. Yuri, Anna and Yolo actively helped us to contact the previous hotel staff and the parcel delivery men. Yuri was very nice and added my contact so that I can get the latest update from the delivery guy. the hotel room was also perfect, really clean and nice. the room is rather spacious for 2 person, and opening 3 luagges was no problem. I really liked the design of the hotel. and it’s linked to the shopping mall, so you can access it when there’s a heavy rain. also the didi ride to airport took about 30 mins so it’s really good. overall super recommended and I’ll definitely comeback to stay here again next time I come to Hangzhou. service: excellent service from Yuri, Anna and Yolo

En så fantastisk opplevelse. Turlederen er veldig erfaren og tar godt vare på turistene. Den gamle vannbyen er virkelig et sted man må oppleve selv. Ikke glem å finne deg en hyggelig restaurant ved elven og nyt et måltid med den vakre utsikten. Det føles som om jeg er tilbake i gamle dager, da jeg pleide å se på de tradisjonelle kinesiske kung-fu-dramaene.

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.

Det var en full busslast med turister, og overalt hvor vi dro, var det folksomt. Men guiden, Chen Lei, gjorde en veldig god jobb med å sørge for at ingen forsvant mens vi gikk i gatene, krysset veiene og flettet oss gjennom folkemengdene. Det var en tilleggsavgift på 110 CNY per person. 40 for lunsj på en bufférestaurant som i bunn og grunn var som «Hunger Games» – hundrevis av mennesker trengte seg sammen for å få mat. 10 for øreproppen for å lytte til guiden – dette var nyttig. 60 for båtturen og en kort Suzhou-musikkforestilling.

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!

Perfekt dagstur utenfor byen, 1,5 timer for å komme seg ut av byen og inn i fortiden. Vi tok de vakreste bildene! Lot barna kle seg ut og hadde en fantastisk dag. Herr Nathan var en fantastisk guide, veldig godt informert og laget en nydelig reiseplan for oss. Takk skal du ha.

A good choice for a quick day trip tour if you are staying at Shanghai and would like to explore nearby city - Hangzhou. The tour guides 余导 and 舒导 are friendly , approachable, knowledgeable in explaining the itineraries and history sites. The lunch menu is well arranged too
