Full description
Discover the serenity of Hangzhou exploring Lingyin Temple, Guozhuang Garden, green tea plantations, and West Lake.
The experience begins with a visit to the historic Lingyin Temple, a 1,600-year-old Buddhist sanctuary nestled in mountain landscapes and ancient stone carvings.
The route continues at Guozhuang Garden to admire classical lakeside architecture, followed by time for lunch at a local restaurant nearby and a walk through local tea farms.
The tour concludes, if the corresponding option is selected, with a traditional wooden boat ride through the quiet, secluded waterways of West Lake before returning to the meeting point.
