This is our 2nd trip to China. Last year we visited Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, and Shanghai and wanted to explore more of China. We visited 5 more cities and found Hangzhou to be a gem! Don't miss touring beautiful West Lake and take a boat ride on the lake. Jill, our incredible guide, took us to Meijawu Village Nana Family's Tea House, for tea tasting with our lovely hosts. My husband and I had a wonderful time learning about the different teas and how to properly prepare them. A special treat was lunch at the Green Tea Restaurant. The food and surroundings are amazing! Another must see in Hangzhou is Lingyin Temple. it's a site that is totally captivating. We are so very grateful to Jill, who answered all of our questions in perfect English, and took very good care of my husband and me. We totally recommend a visit to Hangzhou! https://www.tripadvisor.com/UserReviewEdit-g298559-d19498241-Private_Hangzhou_Day_Tour_to_West_Lake_Lingyin_Temple_Tea_Vilage_Old_Pagoda-Hangzhou_Zheji.html

I had a one day solo tour with Eleven in Hangzhou. We took a boat ride on the lovely West Lake, then visited Lingyin Temple and 6 Harmonies Pagoda. We had a delicious lunch at a noodle restaurant, then saw an old traditional Chinese pharmacy, and we went to a bamboo forest. It was a very busy, very interesting day! Eleven is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I think you will very much enjoy spending a day with him in Hangzhou.

We had a beautiful two-days tour in Hangzhou. Thanks to our guide Carina (very knowledgeable and kind) we first discovered the nicest views of the West Lake and its park. Then Carina led us in exploring the wonderful Lingyn Temple, where she also explained the main principles and the philosophy of Buddhism. Thanks Carina!

Lingyin temple and tea village were very interesting. Visited a tea farmer’s house to learn all about growing and preparing tea, which was also interesting. West Lake is pretty, but not a must do. Did not go to the Six Harmonies Pagoda even though description says it is part of the tour. Our guide Susan was really nice, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. She was not aware that we were supposed to go to the pagoda.

Our tour guide is Hong. She was very attentive and made our trip very enjoyable. We had visited the Peak Flown From Afar, Lingyin Temple, the Six Harmonies Pagoda and West Lake. These places are so beautiful and tranquil. Hong was so nice, we mentioned that we would like to buy some Lung Ching tea at the Tea village. This supposed to be a stop for photos only but she tooke the trouble to contact the owner there and allowed us to try the tea before we had a chance to buy it. Thank you so much Hong!
