I thought West Lake was beautiful enough until I came to Jiuxi. Jiuxi in Hangzhou is considered "Little Jiuzhaigou" by many people. With gurgling streams, dense bamboo forests and fragrant tea gardens, this place is a great choice for spring hiking. Whether you are a tourist with average physical strength or a hiking enthusiast, you can find a route that suits you here. Tour route (lazy version) Jiuxi Bus Station—Jiuxi Yanshu→Jiuxi Longjing Village Entrance The whole journey takes about 2 hours. There is a sightseeing bus from Jiuxi Bus Station to Jiuxi Yanshu (fare 8 yuan) Easy and labor-saving Tour route (for friends with average stamina) Jiuxi Bus Station—Jiuxi Smoky Trees—Jiuxi Longjing Village Entrance—Longjing Village→Shili Langyao Longjing Village Entrance→Shili Langyao Meijiawu Entrance It can go in the opposite direction, and the whole journey takes about 4-5 hours Tour route (for friends with strong stamina) Jiuxi Bus Station—Jiuxi Smoky Trees…→Jiuxi Longjing Village Entrance→Longjing Village—Shili Langyao Longjing Village Entrance→Sancha Road→Yunqi Bamboo Trail The whole journey takes about 5-7 hours. Transportation: 🚌 Bus No. 4/39/103/308/314... directly to Jiuxi Bus Station If you drive yourself🚗, you need to make an appointment for parking at "West Lake on Palm" in advance. You can drive directly into the Jiuxi Scenic Area, or you can park in the parking lot near the entrance of the Jiuxi Scenic Area. Notes⚠️: It is recommended to arrange the Jiuxi Yanshu visit in the first half of the trip, because the scenery here is the most beautiful and you can appreciate its beauty better when you are physically fit. The Shili Langyao section from Longjing to Meijiawu is not recommended for people with poor physical strength. I personally think the scenery is average, and the sun will be very strong if the weather is good. 🌞 Friends who take the second and third routes can rest and adjust in Longjing Village, eat, drink tea and rest. Except for the Yunqi Bamboo Trail ticket of 8 yuan (free with park card), all other attractions are free and do not require tickets.
