  • Great day in Hangzhou

    Upon our arrival at the hotel, we were greeted by our guide, Leo. Subsequently, we embarked on a boat tour of the West Lake, where the scenery was truly enchanting. The Lingyin Temple was bustling with activity due to the New Year festivities, yet we managed to explore it. The lunch we had was satisfactory and without any issues. The tea plantation left a deep impression on us; there's nothing quite like a hot drink on a cold day. The ancient city and its quiet alleys were extremely charming, and the flower market was also quite pleasant. We express our sincere gratitude.

    We met Luna our tour guide at Hengdian train station. I do thank her and Your Way Holiday for accompanying us on our wild day in Hengdian. This is huge park and can’t be seen in one day. With the help of Luna we were able to see everything we set out to. She did the logistics and got us to see all the shows we wanted to see at the Ming Qing dynasties of the Forbidden City. The day started out sunny and warm but changed dramatically during the day. You only need a half a day to see this part of the park, there are a variety of extremely different parks to visit, and two are amusement parks, there is everything to keep you entertained. There are different dynasties and themes, a walk through ancient China in the lantern filled water town or a stroll though Hong Kong and Guanzhou Street to see how Hong Kong looked in the 1920’s pre-war period, There are actors and dancers in all the parks to just come out and give you an authentic experience of that era. Of course I recommend a guide as it’s all in Chinese. But this can be a highlight to a family trip or cdrama lovers like me, I got my family involved and we had a fun day in Hengdian. (Hong di an) Thanks to Luna for all your help.

    We went on a boat ride, which was very enjoyable and offered beautiful views. We also visited a temple; it was very busy due to the holiday, but still impressive. Lunch was tasty and well organized, with no issues at all. The tea plantation was truly impressive and a highlight of the tour. It has always been on my bucket list, and it gave me great insight into the tea-making process. I also learned how to properly drink tea in the Chinese style, which was a wonderful experience. My tour guide Leo provided a lot of useful information about the local culture and was extremely helpful throughout the day.

    It's Sunday. The Linyin Temple is very busy due to the good, comfortable weather. A boat ride on the West Lake is great. The mountains look like ink paintings, and the rippling water is pleasing. The Six Harmony Pagoda is a good place to view the Qiantang River. Visit the tea plantation; the warm tea makes a cool impression.

  • Highly recommend the tour with Luna

    Yourwayholidays have been the best from start to the end. They were super easy and responsive in the planning. We had many back and forth and they really help. Payment through bank transfer was easy and quickly confirmed. Once in China transportation, guide, ticketing, last minute changes and more were facilitated by the agency. Don’t think twice. They are great, more affordable than other agencies I contacted. Thanks again to Zoe our guide Wei and excellent driver.

    the first day of this trip was a real doozy! It was like the sky had opened up and decided to have a full - day cold shower party, and we were the unlucky guests who got soaked from head to toe. But hey, the hot tea at the tea plantation? That was like a warm hug from a cozy blanket in the middle of all that wet mess. There was eldly in our group, and we were like, "Oh no, how's she gonna handle this?" But thanks to our trusty guide, Leo, and our awesome driver, Ye, we still got to check out some cool places. We went to a so - called "long bridge" that was shorter Hefang Street, and the beautiful Xixi Wetland. And then, jackpot! We found this amazing chain restaurant called Grandma's Home.thanks leo see you next time

  • Great experience in Hangzhou with Leo and Ye

    The first day of our journey was fraught with hardships. A cold rain descended upon us, a relentless curtain that persisted throughout the day. Yet, amidst this damp and dreary setting, there was a glimmer of warmth. The hot tea at the tea plantation emerged like a beacon of comfort, its rich aroma and soothing taste etching itself deep into our memories. With the kind support of our guide, Leo, and the reliable driver, Ye, we embarked on a journey of discovery. We came across a bridge that, contrary to its name, was rather unassuming, a vegetable market brimming with life and color, the ancient Hefang Street with its whispers of the past, and the serene Xixi Wetland. As the day drew to a close, we found solace in a charming chain restaurant called Grandma's Home. Overall, this tour was a harmonious blend of challenges and rewards, a journey that left an indelible mark on our hearts and is truly worthy of recommendation.

    Upon our arrival, we were met promptly by our guide, Leo, and our driver, Chen. Leo exuded warmth and kindness, while Driver Chen proved to be highly reliable. During the tour, we were fortunate enough to discover some excellent restaurants, particularly a Michelin - starred one. There, we indulged in a sumptuous meal that left a lasting impression. Moreover, the weather throughout the journey was ideal, with no rain to dampen our spirits. Everything went smoothly without any issues.We walked at a brisk pace to ensure that we could cover as much ground and see as many sights as possible. Additionally, thanks to Leo's suggestion, we were able to witness the spectacular light show alongside the river.Moreover he provided a great flexibility and can comfort to our journey.

    Hey, we bumped into our guide, Leo, and driver, Chen. Leo's as kind as a teddy bear, and Driver Chen's as reliable as an old - fashioned alarm clock.. Let me tell you, that Michelin place was a total game - changer! We stuffed our faces with amazing food. Big thanks to Leo! Oh, and the weather? It was like the sky was on our side. No rain at all, so no soggy shoes or grumpy moods.We power - walked like we were in a race against time so we could soak up as much of the place as we could. And then, thanks to a great idea from Leo, we got to check out this super cool light show by the river. Building in the sky light up!
