Top 50 Best Things to Do in Hangzhou

你是俺的唯一

Strolling along West Lake is like stepping into a flowing ink painting scroll. In the morning, the willows along Bai Causeway sway gently, the wind rippling the lake's surface. Occasionally, travelers in Hanfu pause by the Broken Bridge, as if recreating a scene from a legend. Take a painted boat to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, holding a one-yuan note to capture the same view, while the fragrance of lotus blossoms wafts from the Nine-Bend Bridge. In the afternoon, stroll along Su Causeway, where Yingbo Bridge and Suolan Bridge connect the lake and mountains, and in the distance, Leifeng Pagoda stands serenely on the lakeside, its splendor enhanced by the lights at dusk. If you prefer tranquility, find a bench along Yanggong Causeway, watch the fallen leaves dance in the wind, and listen to the distant Nanping Evening Bell. The beauty of West Lake lies in the fusion of nature and culture. Whether cycling, boating, or leisurely enjoying tea, it allows you to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in the poetic beauty of this "paradise on earth."

Great show, and it can be a wonderful day to spend with families. However, NPCs only appear at certain times, and we didn’t see any NPCs interacting with us to exchange the ancient money. It was too crowded with many group tours, which affected the overall visiting experience. Some people performed the 'Train to Busan' show while attempting to enter the theatre.

Although it was crowded, the order was good. With its Jiangnan charm and centuries-old history, it's a must-visit place in Hangzhou. It's also the season when autumn colors are beginning to bloom in full glory; it's beautiful.

The hotel's location is excellent, less than 1000 meters from the central pier, He Temple, Kui Xing Tower, and the Natural History Museum. Although the Natural History Museum was closed, the lakeside route offered fantastic sunset views. The hotel rooms were spotless, even after wiping with a washcloth. The service from both the catering and housekeeping departments was prompt, meticulous, and thoughtful. Knowing we don't eat onions or garlic, they specifically instructed the kitchen, and promptly refilled our tea bags (tea leaves, not powder). The hotel breakfast is particularly noteworthy for its excellent value, offering both Chinese and Western options, as well as freshly cooked snacks like wontons, noodles, and rice noodles. We arrived around noon and went to Hongye Bay in the afternoon. On the second and third days, we visited the central pier and southeast pier respectively for lake cruises (if time permits, you can also visit the Chun'an County Museum, less than a ten-minute drive). With such a leisurely itinerary, we wouldn't have time to return for lunch, and we also wanted to sample the local cuisine of Qiandao Lake, so booking a package deal online with all three meals included wasn't necessary. On the morning of the fourth day, we went hiking and visited the Kui Xing Tower and He Temple. Just turn left after leaving the hotel, go to the first traffic light, and follow the navigation for about 20-30 minutes to reach them. In the afternoon, we went to the Natural History Museum (closed), but along the trail, the scenery of Qiandao Lake was breathtaking, and there was a pier nearby perfect for watching the sunrise.

Lingyin Temple and the surrounding Three Temples are among the top temples in China, no less impressive than visiting West Lake. If you're planning a trip to Lingyin Temple, be sure to set aside at least a day. Also, explore the remaining seven or eight major temples in the Three Temples and enjoy some temple-themed Zen tea.

Because of time constraints, I bought this experiential package, which included land, water, and air tours, and it was great! Xixi Wetland is really big, the scenery is amazing, and it wasn't too crowded, so I'll definitely come back next time I have time! 😄

This is a really great attraction 👍👍👍, especially suitable for children. The Sky Coaster and rafting are both fun and safe. The most commendable thing is the ticket checker at the Tongtian River ferry ticket counter. Her coordination and scheduling skills are excellent, and she has a great sense of humor. She managed thousands of tourists in an orderly manner without any annoyance.

I went there during the National Day holiday. There were a lot of people, but the place was in good order. The second floor was a private dining room, and the third floor deck was very cool. The light show on the shore was a bit short, and the boat would only show it once or twice when it was nearby. There were food and drinks for sale on the boat.

I guess I didn't do my research properly. I always felt that such a large museum like the Zhejiang Provincial Museum shouldn't be like this! They can't even offer a paid guided tour without a group of ten people, so they have to find a more expensive guide. At 150 yuan per hour, that's probably the most expensive guided tour I've ever heard of. Maybe because I paid for it, my expectations were high, so I hoped the content of the tour would be more comprehensive. 😊

The sunset is worth seeing, but it's very crowded. The best spots are packed with people, so you need to take a drone or an elevator up the mountain, which is very easy. There seem to be three elevators in total. After watching the sunset on the mountain, you can choose to go down the water slide. The water slide is quite expensive, but it's a lot of fun. They will give you raincoats. Friendly reminder: don't hold your phone in your hand, or you'll end up like me, with your phone flying out of your hand.
