Board a boat and soak in the breathtaking scenery of West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is a non‑island sightseeing cruise that circles the lake without stopping at islands such as Xiaoyingzhou or Mid‑Lake Pavilion. The route focuses on open water views and the picturesque shoreline.
The Jiuxi Eighteen Streams area is renowned for its crisscrossing streams and endless tea plantations. Nine streams converge here, with eighteen brooks winding through dense forests and bamboo groves, their waters murmuring as they flow. Along the way, the trail passes scenic spots such as Jiuxi Village and Li'an Temple. The landscape changes with the seasons – emerald green tea fields in spring, fiery red leaves in autumn – offering a rustic charm that perfectly captures the graceful spirit of Jiangnan. This is an ideal route for a light, enjoyable hike.
At Meijiawu Tea Village, you will have the opportunity to taste authentic West Lake Longjing tea, accompanied by light tea snacks. You can also try on traditional Hanfu attire, and even have a drone capture stunning aerial footage of you amidst the tea fields – creating a truly unique and memorable travel memory from a different perspective.
