Qiandao Lake Scenic Area
"The 'Forest Oxygen Bar' is a great place to breathe fresh air and cleanse your lungs. You can enjoy the beauty of nature by cycling around the lake and paddling in a raft with your friends. Don't miss the boat tour of the central lake islands, the romantic Moonlight Church, and other stunning sights. It is highly recommended for self-driving friends to choose a niche one-day tour, starting from Hangzhou, to discover various hidden and beautiful spots such as lighthouses and private viewing platforms!"
Lingshan Town, Nianhua Bay
The place is called "Little Kyoto". The entire town is filled with grand Tang-style architecture. The street and alley designs are beautiful, as if you are travelling back in time. At night, there is a performance at Wudeng Lake, and there are many charming ancient-style homestays. After spending a night, you can also visit the spiritually powerful Ling Mountain Buddha the next day.
Daming Mountain Scenic Area
Daming Mountain has been upgraded to a 4A scenic area. You can enjoy spring flowers, summer streams, autumn leaves, and winter snow. You can also experience a suspended glass walkway, an extra-long kilometer-long slide, a hundred-meter waterfall, and a ten-thousand-meter cave. Then, you can also visit the outdoor amusement park called "Valley of the Wind," which is only half an hour's drive from Daming Mountain.
Choose Nanxun Ancient Town if you prefer a less commercial atmosphere. You can relax and enjoy the well-preserved late Qing Dynasty residences and gardens. It is perfect for a weekend getaway with fewer crowds and a peaceful ambiance. The on-site ticket purchase is 15 yuan more expensive, so we recommend booking online.
92% vegetation coverage, Hangzhou is a popular summer resort, rated as one of the 45 travel destinations worth visiting by The New York Times. The sea of green bamboo and clear and inexhaustible mountain springs are fascinating!
Longwu Tea Plantation
Not many tourists visit the hidden "millennium tea town" on the outskirts of the city, which is filled with fields of Longjing tea. It is a secluded paradise where you can enjoy a peaceful afternoon by the lake with friends, brewing tea and reading.
