**West Lake**

West Lake is a scenic area in Hangzhou, featuring famous landmarks like Broken Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda, Su Causeway, and Bai Causeway. Visitors can wander along the lake’s shores, taking in the tranquil beauty of its mountains and water, which embody the essence of traditional Chinese landscapes. For a unique experience, take a boat ride across the lake to fully appreciate its expansive beauty. Along the way, enjoy enchanting views of historic architecture, allowing you to immerse yourself in the serenity and timeless charm of West Lake.

**Former Residence of Hu Xueyan**

The Former Residence of Hu Xueyan, a beautiful example of Jiangnan garden architecture, offers an enchanting experience with its winding corridors and picturesque spots at every turn. Known for its intricate design and tranquil ambiance, it's easy to fall in love with this place on your first visit. As you stroll through, a guide shares fascinating stories about Hu Xueyan and the residence’s historical significance, making each corner come alive with the rich legacy of this famed 19th-century merchant.

**Hefang Street**

Hefang Street, located at the foot of Wushan, is part of the historic Qinghefang Cultural District in Hangzhou’s old town. Spanning 1,800 meters, this street is lined with ancient Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, making it the only street in downtown Hangzhou that preserves the city’s historical character. With its ancient architecture, local snacks, oil-paper umbrellas, and rows of colorful qipao dresses, the street reflects the elegance of the Southern Song dynasty.

**Longjing Village**

Longjing Village is a charming tea-growing village where nearly every household cultivates tea trees. In summer, it’s wise to bring mosquito repellent. As you head uphill, you’ll pass the “Ten Mile Langdang” archway, marking the start of the tea mountain trails. The path is lined with neatly arranged tea bushes that stretch across the slopes in terraced rows. From each viewpoint, the tea fields offer a unique beauty, and from higher ground, the sight of the vast, green tea-covered hillsides is especially breathtaking.
