Tour Description
Marco Polo once called Hangzhou, "the most beautiful and magnificent city in the world." It is a city rich with history and culture, spanning back over 2000 years. It made a name for itself in the sixth century, when the Grand Canal opened up and linked the area to other centers of trade. The Song dynasty helped make Hangzhou famous when the imperial family moved there in the 12th Century. With its inviting views and outstanding scenery, the area soon became popular with artists, poets and painters seeking inspiration in this little bit of paradise.

Your first stop will be a cruise across West Lake to experience peace and serenity like no place else in the Shanghai area. The boat ride begins at Fish & Flower Harbor, then you'll see such unforgettable scenery as the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, Bai and Su Causeways and Solitary Hill. After lunch you will visit Guo Villa, one of the nicest garden villas in Hangzhou. From here it's on to the most striking structure in the city, the Six Harmonies Pagoda. You'll get to visit the charming museum and snap some photos in front of this architectural marvel that was built in the Song Dynasty. Your last stop will be a visit to Meijia Tea Village, for a traditional tea ceremony and its significance to Chinese culture.
