As a local Hangzhou resident and former landscape designer involved in many local scenic projects, I love painting and history. I’ll show you around Hangzhou in depth, sharing its history and offering a wonderful, in-depth tour instead of casual sightseeing.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Once you’ve checked into your Hangzhou hotel, you can leave all the travel logistics to me. On the morning of our tour, I’ll be waiting for you in the lobby ahead of schedule. Just bring your best mood and let me handle the rest! I’ll take you to Hangzhou’s top scenic spots and will be more than happy to share detailed stories and answer any questions you have along the way.
If you arrive at Hangzhou East Railway Station, we will wait for you at any of Arrival Exits 1–3, with our driver holding a sign with the lead traveler’s name.

Our next stop continues along the Grand Canal, a key part of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along the way, you will see well-preserved traditional Hangzhou residential houses, offering an authentic view of historic water-town life. The former textile factories along the canal have been transformed into museums and creative spaces, reflecting the successful integration of urban renewal and heritage preservation. We will take a walk along the canal and immerse ourselves in the lively local atmosphere, experiencing the most authentic and everyday side of Hangzhou. This marks the end of our tour. If you wish, we can take a short break here before leaving. After the tour, I will safely drive you back to your hotel or to any location you prefer.
