5.00We had a lovely day in Hangzhou with Kimi as our guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and kept us busy. We had a boat trip on West Lake, followed by a trip to the Longjing tea farm then a fantastic lunch trying some freshly cooked Chinese dishes. The afternoon was spent at the Lingyin Temple. Would definitely recommend this trip
