Ultimate Guide to Hangzhou, China 🇨🇳

Hangzhou is located in Zhejiang Province, China. Only an hour away from Shanghai by high speed train, it’s perfect for a weekend away from the big city, or even can be done as a day trip. Save this guide for your next trip! 📍 Lingyin Temple - One of the oldest Buddhist temples in Hangzhou with a history of 1700 years. There are many halls that go up the mountain. It’s one of the most breathtaking temples I’ve ever visited. 🎫 Buy a ticket to enter Feilei scenic area for 45rmb, and then another ticket to enter the temple for 30rmb. 📍 West Lake - The most iconic area of the city. Walk around the lake over the Broken Bridge and Su Causeway, and I recommend taking a boat to see the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. 📍 Leifeng Pagoda - Located on the South Bank of West Lake. You can go underground to see the ruins of the original pagoda that collapsed in 1924. Go to the top at sunset for beautiful views over the lake! 🎫 Tickets cost 40rmb per person. 📍 Longjing Tea Fields - Go for a hike through the tea fields up the hill. The scenery is beautiful and the view from the top is incredible. #hangzhou #hangzhoutrip #china #chinatrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip
