Overview

They say the perfect trip touches your heart through your taste buds, your eyes, and local stories—and that is exactly what this tour delivers. If you only have one day, I’ve designed this experience to help you truly feel the soul of Hangzhou.
Unlike standard sightseeing, this is a deep dive into local life:
(the turns may change as your request)
• Start Like a Local: We begin at the historic Drum Tower, exploring a vibrant morning market to taste the city’s most authentic breakfast snacks.
• West Lake & Hidden Gardens: Beyond the iconic lake, I will guide you to a serene, secluded garden to enjoy the atmosphere away from the crowds.
• Gongchen Bridge: Enjoying the evening breeze, watching the Grand Canal come alive at twilight.

What's included

  • The 3 kinds of local snacks include: Congbaohui葱包烩（Fried Dough Sticks Wrapped in Thin Pancake），Jianjiao煎饺（Pan-fried dumplings），Tiaotou Gao条头糕（Glutinous Rice Strip Cake）
  • All sightseeing fees included
  • Bottled water
  • You will enjoy the journey in a high-end 7-seater executive vehicle accompanied by a dedicated private chauffeur.
