3-Day Hangzhou West Lake and Tea Tour | Lake Paths & Longjing

3 days · 2 nights

Tour highlights

One focused sightseeing day

The Hangzhou West Lake and tea tour brings these experiences together. West Lake paths and Meijiawu give the guided day two connected settings instead of a crowded city circuit.

Tea explained by its makers

Meet a host, taste Longjing and learn the finishing process, with hands-on elements matched to the season.

Easy to combine with a longer journey

Two hotel nights and booked arrival/departure transfers allow this short stay to fit around your onward plans.

Your tour, day by day

Open each day for the itinerary and service details.

DAY 01Hangzhou arrival → hotel

Your Hangzhou West Lake and tea tour begins with the arrangements below. Your driver meets you at the confirmed Hangzhou airport or station and takes you to the hotel, using the closest permitted collection point rather than promising vehicle access inside every arrivals area. The rest of the day is independent.

An early arrival can leave time for a nearby walk and dinner. Additional sightseeing with a guide and vehicle is available only as a separately agreed addition, so this short break retains a relaxed arrival day.

Guide: Driver-only transfer; no scheduled guided sightseeing.

DAY 02West Lake → Meijiawu tea experience

Walk West Lake’s Su Causeway and Flower Harbour with your guide, pausing to see how bridges, water and planted banks compose the landscape. A lake cruise is an optional, separately paid addition, not a required extra hidden in the walking day.

Continue to Meijiawu for time with a tea-growing host, a Longjing tasting and an explanation of hand-finishing the leaves. Where the harvest and host permit, try picking and a supervised pan-firing introduction; outside the picking season, the visit focuses on preparation and tasting rather than a staged harvest. Confirm the language support, materials and participation conditions in advance, then return to your Hangzhou hotel.
