Top 49 things to do and attractions in Hangzhou

The place is nice but very busy. I enjoyed the climb — about 350 meters up to reach the temple at the top. The view and atmosphere are beautiful, but it’s quite touristic. There’s also a cable car if you prefer not to walk. It’s a bit expensive, yet still a very spiritual experience, though there were too many people for my taste.

Before coming to Hangzhou, I did a very good research about the place and everyone said that I need to see this place. I loved the architecture of the temple. The guide explained to us lots of details we needed to know. This temple has the biggest gold coated (33 kgs of gold) buddah. It was nice to see how people worship at this temple. The place can be very crowded.

Historic place, ancient temple with many idols, Buddha, and many other saints and monks. It's a very divine place, crowded with a lot of people, and features clean, organized maintenance. Worth visiting to get blessings from the divine powers.

The entire area is huge and you can take whole day to visit all the temples and peaks. Took a cab to the place, but you need to alight at the carpark outside and walk about 10min to the entrance. The road to the place was jammed too. The short taxi ride from Yue temple took more than 30min. There are also many interesting shop on the way to the Lingyin temple. There are also many restaurants at the main entrance. The shade and breezy wind help to make the visit more enjoyable in summer. Spent about 1-2hours only manage to visit Lingyin temple only. This temple alone is big.

We took the metro Line 1 from Wulin Square and the bus or you can book taxi go to here. A spacious pagoda with many stone Budda on the moutain

Vast, expansive temple, crowded over the weekend, particularly in the main hall where a ceremony was taking place.

If you are into Buddhism, this is the place to go. I have never seen such a huge Buddha statue carved out of wood. I think it’s also the biggest one globally. It lies within the national park and you have to buy an extra ticket for it

It's a very big natural park with greenery & colors. Different types of Trees, Flowers, mini streams pond available. Also mini Tulip festival happens in April. Avery good place to pass a day with Family & kids. Amazing place.

Xixi national werland Park is really a treasure, it’s a very big park so I walked a lot. The place is tranquil and beautiful and it seems to go back in time. I had fun searching for shrines, little houses and bridges 🌳🦋

Nice big wetland with canals for boat rides but unfortunately the guides on the boats don’t speak any English. Also where are all the birds? A wetland park like this should be teeming with water birds, but all I have seen so far is one duck and one Herron. Plenty of places to buy food and drinks at the boat piers. Finally if you have difficulty walking the paving of the footpaths is quite uneven.

It is a local park and attraction. CNY 80 entrance fee, which I thought is a bit high. There isn’t much to see. The staff at the information counter isn’t too helpful and patient. Maybe it is nicer during spring time when flower blossom.

A city park in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It is full of lakes, ponds, streams and greenery. A lovely place to walk and there is a lot of wildlife there, despite what some reviews say. I saw invertebrates, amphibians, birds, fish, and one mammal (a bat) in the space of about 3 hours. There are also plenty of food vendors, shops, and some museums and art exhibitions. Entry to the park is free, but the boat trips, hot air balloon, and Gao's mansion all cost, I think. Well worth a visit if you are in or near Hangzhou.

Top ❤️. One of the top places in all China ❤️. Worth the travel, must visit during a trip in East China, for a well-preserved wetland scenery, animals and plants, temples and traditional buildings 😊✨👍

What a beautiful wetland park, and the ticket is free. The scenic area is very large. We stayed at the Sheraton Hotel next to it and spent 6 days visiting the park. We took a walk in the park every morning. It was full of green trees, birds and flowers. It was a pity that there was too little tourist content available on Google Maps. Basically, there was no information on this map. I hope foreign tourists will download local maps. Hangzhou has a lot of food and attractions.

There is an elevator to make your hike sweat-less. Must visit if you are in hangzhou! It’s big and chill garden that you can take photo. Important tips: girl !don’t wear overalls cause they only have squatting toilet and bring tissue with you cause you need to pay for the toilet paper

About a 5-10min walk from the entrance of 苏堤. Will pass by a Starbuck and a Chinese restaurant. Entrance fee to the tower is CNY40 per person. Going up the first level is the remains of the old tower. The stairs to the 2nd floor is on the left of the tower when you go up stairs toward the tower. From the 2nd floor you can take lift of stair up the tower. There is long queue for the lift, and the lift does not go to the top floor. You will still need to take the stairs for to the top floor. The view at the top is good, but a little crowded even on weekday. You get an all round view of West Lake and it’s breezy. Went on summer, so was especially nice to take a short break to enjoy the view and cool down.

The view from up here was spectacular. Each step towards the top of the pagoda transforms you into a wiser human being. You learn that when you walk, you will be tired. When you sit, you will get bored.

Perched on top of a hill - the Leifeng Pagoda - offers a captivating sight especially when viewed from the West Lake minutes after sunset and especially during Blue Hour

You should visit here when you are in Hangzhou. 1st and 2nd floor are old temple relics. Using elevator to go up the highest, you will see the best view of west lake

Can buy ticket at the front door. very nice view up there and garden to walk around

This is a must-visit place in Hangzhou. It is at West Lake area. We were able to go despite the traffic around West Lake that day. It was a holiday when we did our tour and there were a lot of visitors- local and tourists alike. Good thing we decided to go. It is a beautiful place and the walk up was not that tiring. It has a long escalator from the bottom to the base of the pagoda then an elevator/ lift going up to the top. The view from above is breathtaking. You can see the whole West Lake area from there. The walls depict the ancient art of China. The ceiling has a beautiful design too. Overall it was worth the climb 😊

Wow

fun

Many product and store

(Translated by Google) It's an old walking street, lined with souvenir shops, restaurants, cafes, and street food. It was a pleasant stroll, and I had an Americano at Luckin Coffee (a bit difficult to order, lol. I used an app to order), beef skewers, mala sausage powder, and iced milk tea at "It's Time For Tea." We strolled, took photos, and shopped until it got dark. 🐕 🌃Today, we had dinner here at this Thai-Chinese restaurant. We ordered fried pork with fish sauce, tom yum goong, and Peking duck.

(Translated by Google) I really like Qinghefang, a wonderful corner of Hangzhou's old town. When you climb to the high observation deck, you can see the whole street stretching out, with sturdy old buildings, mossy tiled roofs and impressive traditional architecture. Walking around the small streets, I saw many shops selling souvenirs and specialty cakes, suitable for buying gifts or trying local dishes. The atmosphere here is both bustling and nostalgic, making me feel like I've entered an old but still vibrant era. (Original) Mình thật sự thích Qinghefang, một góc phố cổ tuyệt vời ở Hàng Châu. Khi trèo lên đài quan sát cao, có thể nhìn thấy cả khu phố trải dài, với những tòa nhà cổ vững chãi, mái ngói rêu phong và lối kiến trúc truyền thống rất ấn tượng. Dạo quanh các con phố nhỏ, mình thấy rất nhiều cửa hàng bán đồ lưu niệm và bánh đặc sản, thích hợp để mua quà hoặc thử các món ăn địa phương. Không khí nơi đây vừa nhộn nhịp vừa mang nét hoài cổ, khiến mình cảm giác như bước vào một thời kỳ xưa cũ nhưng vẫn đầy sức sống.

excellent service in real estate

(Translated by Google) The long stone-paved street, lined with rows of well-preserved old wooden houses, creates a completely different atmosphere from the modern part of the city. There are many shops selling Longjing tea, traditional Chinese medicine, handicrafts and local specialties on the street. What I find interesting is that there are also long-standing restaurants with traditional dishes to try on the spot. In the evening, when the lights come on, the street becomes bustling but still retains its ancient features. However, because it is a famous tourist destination, it is quite crowded, especially on weekends, and the prices are somewhat higher than usual. For me, Qinghefang is a place worth visiting to feel the atmosphere of the old Chinese town, take pictures and enjoy some typical dishes, but you should not expect too much from shopping. (Original) Con phố lát đá dài, hai bên là dãy nhà gỗ kiểu xưa được bảo tồn khá tốt, tạo không khí khác hẳn so với khu hiện đại của thành phố. Trên phố có nhiều cửa hàng bán trà Long Tỉnh, thuốc bắc, đồ thủ công mỹ nghệ và đặc sản địa phương. Điều mình thấy thú vị là có cả những tiệm ăn lâu đời, có món ăn truyền thống để thử ngay tại chỗ. Buổi tối, khi lên đèn, phố trở nên nhộn nhịp nhưng vẫn giữ được nét cổ kính. Tuy nhiên, vì là điểm du lịch nổi tiếng nên khá đông, nhất là cuối tuần, và giá cả có phần cao hơn bình thường. Với mình, Qinghefang là nơi đáng ghé để cảm nhận không khí phố cổ Trung Hoa, chụp ảnh và thưởng thức vài món ăn đặc trưng, nhưng không nên kỳ vọng quá nhiều vào mua sắm.

Hupao Temple is located in pleasant area of West Lake. It was built in 9th century, but was rebuilt many times. There is a peaceful forrest park around the temple, that give you a feeling you are not in the city, but in the wild nature. Many locals visit it not only for roaming the park, but also for Tiger Spring with fresh and clean mountain water. You can take an empty bottle with you to fill it with water there. Worth viiting in autumn, golden season.

Nice park

A nice park in the city that deserves a visit .Nice tea houses inside and a lot of small restaurant just few min walking

Beautiful place

(Translated by Google) The environment is elegant. There are the tombs of Jigong Living Buddha and Master Hongyi. There is also Hupao Spring on the mountain. There are springs at certain points. Remember to bring empty bottles. (Original) 環境優雅，有濟公活佛的墳墓跟弘一大師的墳墓，山上還有虎跑泉能取，有在特定點，記得帶空瓶來

(Translated by Google) Hupao Spring is located in the Huichan Temple in the Hupao Scenic Area at the foot of the White Crane Peak of Daci Mountain, southwest of the West Lake in Hangzhou. It is about 5 kilometers away from the city center and is known as the "third best spring in the world". According to legend, in the 14th year of the Yuanhe period of the Tang Dynasty, a monk named Xingkong traveled here and saw that the environment at the foot of the White Crane Peak of Daci Mountain was quiet and suitable for self-cultivation. When he built a temple here, he was troubled by the lack of water nearby. With the help of his disciples Dahu and Erhu, the two disciples transformed themselves into tigers and moved the Tongzi Spring in the West Lake to this place, hence the name "Hupao Spring". It is the best place for Hangzhou people to drink tea and relax, and is one of the "Top Ten Tourist Attractions in the New West Lake" in Hangzhou. According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, the monk Xingkong came here to spread Buddhism. Due to the lack of water, he was about to leave, but was enlightened by a god in his dream. Two tigers transformed from Nanyue fairy children dug the ground on the mountain to make a spring, so Daci Dinghui Zen Temple was built next to the spring site. Master Jigong passed away in Hupao Temple. There are five reliefs in the temple, which are images of Jigong's life: Jigong Fighting Crickets, Carrying Wood from Ancient Well, Legend of Feilai Peak and Crazy Monk Sweeping Qin, which record the main deeds of Master Jigong. (Original) 虎跑泉位在杭州西湖西南側、大慈山白鶴峰下虎跑景區的慧禪寺院內，距離市中心約5公里，譽有「天下第三泉」之稱；相傳在唐元和十四年，有位名叫性空的高僧到此雲遊時，見大慈山白鶴峰麓環境清幽，是適合修身養性的地方，在此建立寺院時卻發現附近沒有水源而煩惱，在弟子大虎和二虎的幫助下，由兩位弟子脫俗為虎，將西湖的童子泉移到此處，故得名「虎跑泉」，杭州民眾飲茶休憩的最佳去處，為杭州「新西湖十大旅遊景點」之一。《虎跑寺》相傳『唐朝』時候，高僧性空禪師來這裏弘傳佛法，由於缺乏水源，準備離去，卻在夢中受神人點撥，有兩頭由南嶽仙童化成的猛虎在山上刨地出泉，於是在泉址旁建起了大慈定慧禪寺。『濟公師父』在《虎跑寺》圓寂，院內五幅浮雕，即濟公平生像：有濟公鬥蟋蟀，古井運木，飛來峰傳奇，瘋僧掃秦，記錄了『濟公師父』的主要事跡。

(Translated by Google) There is also an interesting myth and legend about the origin of Hupao Spring. According to legend, in the 14th year of Tang Yuanhe (819), the eminent monk Huanzhong (also known as Xingkong) came here and liked the beautiful scenery here, so he stayed here. later. Because there was no water source nearby, he was about to move elsewhere. One night, he suddenly dreamed of a god telling him: "There is a Tongzi Spring in Nanyue. Two tigers should be sent to move it here." The next day, he saw the two tigers running away (planing). ) ground was used as a cave, and clear spring water gushes out immediately, so it is called Hupao Spring. Zhang Yining also gave Hupao Spring a religious and mysterious color in the couplet about the spring. (Original) 虎跑泉的來歷，還有一個饒有興味的神話傳說。相傳，唐元和十四年(819)高僧寰 中(亦名性空)來此，喜歡這裡風景靈秀，便住了下來。後來。因為附近沒有水源，他準備遷往別處，一夜忽然夢見神人告訴他說:"南嶽有一童子泉，當遣二虎將其搬到這裡來。"第二天，他果然看見二虎跑(刨)地作地穴，清澈的泉水隨即湧出，故名為虎跑泉。張以寧在題泉聯中，亦給虎跑泉蒙上一層宗教與神秘的色彩。

A really nice visit during my stay in Hangzhou. The house is renovated nicely, the architecture and setup are really giving an acient time ambiance, providing the experience of travelling back in time. The highlight of the house is truly the pond, really beautiful and peaceful. Other rooms are also impressive with sophisticated interior design and furniture, even though they're a bit repetitve but always consistent, making an awe towards the attention to details for the construction of the house. Highly recommended if you're looking for a half-day activity in Hangzhou.

Excellent visit. I really enjoyed myself as the mansion is beautiful. I could imagine how beautiful and richly decorated in its prime. I love the center court with its oriental design. Lots of rocks and passages, indicating that Hue was a nature lover. Look at the photos which tell a better story.

Beautiful 19th century home with amazing architecture! A lot of incredible scenery with history of Hu Xueyan. Really love the water areas and all the attention to detail in the design. The kitchen is very cool. Definitely recommend visiting, 20 RNB per person.

Interesting old residence. Was a bit difficult to navigate, but not too big.

A very beautiful residence with a garden like the best ones in Suzhou. The furnitures could be the part of an imperial palace too. I recommend to visit this place in Hangzhou!

Feels like going trough the ancient times

This place is just marvelous, so much beaty and history to see

Hangzhou Botanical Garden is an absolute gem. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by incredible natural beauty lush greenery, peaceful lakes, colourful flowers, and stunning pathways that make the whole place feel like a living postcard. It’s spacious, calm, and perfect for anyone who enjoys nature, photography, or simply taking a quiet break from the city. The garden is very well maintained, and every corner has something unique to explore. Whether it’s the bamboo forests, the flower beds, or the serene water features, there’s always something beautiful to see. It’s an ideal place for families, couples, or solo travellers who want to enjoy a relaxing and scenic experience. Truly one of Hangzhou’s must-visit spots. Highly recommended!

Went in the early morning not much crowd. When leaving big crowd start coming in. Great view and Great place to relax. Nice flower. Can drop by if at Hangzhou.

Need to book the boat before hand as the queue is superlong

Nice experience, you can spend the hole day walking arround and lying down. If you’re going during spring is going to be so colourful and vibrant!!

It's an awesome experience. Expect a lot of walking though. No need for trekking shoes, wear comfortable walking shoes instead. LOTS OF WALKING.

This botanic garden is MASSIVE. Can easily stroll for hours here. Nice scenery all year round. There are quite a few entrances/exits so no need to worry about getting lost - just wander around and there is always a way out. There is a side exit to a 2km mountain trail of Mt Beigaofeng - just avoid this one if you don’t feel like climbing up. Admission is not free as of Nov 2023, I forgot the exact ticket price but it was quite cheap for sure.

We visited in September 2019 and spent a morning birding here. The Hangzhou Botanical Garden is a beautifully maintained park with lots of trails and different areas to explore. We visited on a Sunday morning and it wasn't very busy. Easy to get here by bus.

Came here for the tasting of the famous “longjing green tea”, some snack and food in the area. I highly recommend everything you see let’s buy some because they all taste good. Persimmon and dried fruits are delicious

The stunning tea plantations in Hangzhou are truly a sight to behold, particularly famous for producing some of the finest Dragon Well Green Tea. The lush, rolling hills covered in vibrant tea bushes create a picturesque landscape that feels serene and inviting. Visiting this area is an absolute must for tea lovers and anyone looking to experience the rich culture of tea production. You can enjoy guided tours, learn about the meticulous growing and harvesting processes, and of course, savor the exquisite flavors of freshly brewed Dragon Well tea right on the plantation. It's an enchanting destination that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural significance.

What a relaxing atmosphere, we were lucky to have a pleasant visit, we could take a walk as it was not too sunny. The village is very beautiful with tea plantations and little stream flowing through it. We went by bus, but you can take taxi too. A lot of hiking opportunities there, we went with our baby so we kept to road side only.

It’s an old tea village that’s now turned into attraction for tourist. It’s part of the usual tourist tour itinerary. They will sell you hard on the tea and the pills. The tea quality is good but very expensive. You have to negotiate hard to get better price. Unless you have lots of extra time, I would skip this place.

If you want to get some dragon well tea that is quite good and possibly some of the best grown this is the place. Understand that the tea is not cheap but you are paying for a truly premium product. The grounds are nice. this site can be busy with several tour groups coming through. They also sell tea extract capsules.

Beautiful surroundings although our guide didn't have time to let us roam around. We listened to a talk about Chinese Tea (not a ceremony) and I bought some tea. They say this is China's best tea.

灵溪南路交叉口 This attraction is also known as Dragon Well Tea Plantation. Worth touring but do note that their tea is a premium product and probably the most expensive in China. And this company does NOT negotiate prices. A beautiful location: both the hills where tree is grown and their buildings. It is usually very crowded with bust tour groups by 10am... might be less crowded earlier and in late afternoon. I saw a parking lot only for buses; no idea where cars would park.

It is a simple but nice museum. When I went there, the museum was preparing for a new exhibition, so certain areas were unaccessible. Prebook your visit using WeChat miniprogram. The security guy was very helpful and did this for me when I got to the security check. It is a nice place to go to in Spring and Autumn. You should take a book to sit down and relax at the cafeteria after looking at the different exhibitions. Check the bookstore, which has some books in English and some nice souvenirs. There are also two museum shops with nice stuff. If you have children there’s a nice big room for kids to draw, colour and play. Then, you can walk through the park to Leifeng Pagoda. I did this in a hot summer day but it was nice and relaxed. I called a cab but there are buses going nearby. Unfortunately I did not check their numbers.

Zhejiang Art Museum is a nice and comfortable museum, good to come if you are art lover. And most of their exhibition are in Chinese only. The art museum located next to the West Lake, it's always good to come while you are visiting West Lake. The museum is spacious, quiet and nice design. They don't have many visitors most of the time, and this give you more space when you enjoy the art here. There is no enterence fee to the museum, but you have to provide your ID or passport

Worthwhile having a look. Free access! Close to the Westlake and at 15 min walk from the impressive silk museum

Some excellent exhibits inside

Very nice place for Art museum, Exivision and other art activities, Good working staff

A normal Art Museum. Recommended if you are into art.

Awesome history of China a must see

It is a castle during the Southern Song Dynasty in China. There are various things to enjoy as a theme park, but I thought it would have been better to leave more traditional parts.

Absolutely beautiful experience, plz visit early and spend the entire day here, explore all the spots before dark, once it gets dark enjoy the view by the canal of the song town and enjoy the magical theatre. It is absolutely worth it , don’t miss the theatre performance and street performances. Dress up, as there are many rental inside the venue who give traditional clothes at decent price for the day. It has many photo spots to enjoy

I don't think it's worth 350 yuan to visit here. The shows that more like Indian belly dance than Chinese. Im not sure in Song dynasty that type of dance was popular. The layout is so confusing that we couldn't plan to see the shows on time It over exaggerated. You also need to know some history too.

Amazing place. The main performance is truly not to be missed… wasn’t expecting much but we were truly amazed. There were horses, acrobatics, fire, water, snow… The performances were great and shared bits of famous folklore and chinese history. Would have been great if there was audio guide for non chinese tourists to provide them with more context but it was fine for us as we’re Singaporean chinese and grew up learning bits and pieces of chinese history.

Best performance i have watch in china. Rain, lake, waterfall, real horse in the theatre. Understanding history in a very interesting way. Buy your tickets at least 1 day before.

A must-visit in Hangzhou! The park offers a stunning recreation of Song Dynasty culture, with beautiful architecture, engaging activities, and the incredible "Romance of the Song Dynasty" show. A bit crowded and pricey, but worth it for the immersive experience.

A massively impressive Song dynasty- theme park with multiple performances which will wow you. Lots of variety of food and drinks. The main performance in Theatre 1 was spectacular with a display of CGI, special effects, gymnasts, flying stunts, and elaborately dressed dancers. The earthquake performance in Theatre 5 is worth your time too. Invoked many emotions. There are also VR and 3D activities eg dinasour and Star Wars experiences. The entire parked is covered ie you can enjoy the place rain or shine. My only gripe is the fact that everything is in mandarin and therefore one misses out on many nuances if one isn’t a native mandarin speaker. Nrbethelrsd I still enjoyed the experience.

The island is accessible easily by boat. Upon arrival, you are hit with a huge sensation of calming. There is an island in a lake in an island in a lake, where fish gather, but we couldn't see them due to it being winter. Recommend coming during Spring or Autumn

Took ferry from the harbour near the West Lake music fountain to the island. Ferry fee including the island entrance and the ferry off the island is CNY70 per person. A walk around the island took about 30min. There a 3-4 ferry point off the island going to different part of West Lake.

Beautiful small island in the middle of West Lake, just a short and enjoyable boat ride (make sure you get a front or window seat for pictures) and you can spend some time contemplating the well maintained gardens, pools, plants, pathways and small bridges. It does get crowded during weekends and holidays, expect long lines and queuing, but if you want some peace, go early morning and during the week. Highly recommended. Must see while visiting West Lake.

Three Pools Mirroring the Moon is a peaceful and picturesque spot on West Lake in Hangzhou. The small pagodas rising from the water create a magical view, especially at sunset. A must-see place for nature lovers and photographers visiting the city. Calm, scenic, and unforgettable.

You have to take a 70 Chinese Yuan shuttle boat to this small island. It really worth the money!

It is one of the iconic place of China. I heard that lot of stories behind this west lake. Needs half day to walk around the lake, it will be a good experience. 60¥ for visiting pagoda, by board riding only we can see moon pillars. I saw both day and night view, feel like a lucky guy.

Three Pools Mirroring the Moon (三潭印月) is one of West Lake’s most celebrated Ten Scenes, famed for its poetic beauty and unique optical illusion. The name comes from three small stone pagodas standing in the water near Lesser Yingzhou Islet, first built during the Northern Song Dynasty. Originally, these structures were practical—they marked a “no-planting” zone to protect certain waters from excessive aquatic growth. But over time, they became woven into the lake’s cultural and artistic legacy. The magic happens on moonlit nights, especially during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Candles are placed inside the hollow pagodas, and their light shines through small round openings on the sides. These points of light reflect off the water, creating the illusion of many moons—some from the sky, some from the candlelight, and some from the interplay of light and ripples on the lake’s surface. The effect is a dreamy scene where the “real” moon and countless “mini-moons” dance together on the water, inspiring poets, painters, and travelers for centuries.

Nice zoo with plenty of animals: pandas, lions, tigers, bears, panthers, leopards, cobras, sea turtles, and way more. Takes a good 3 hours to cover everywhere. There are lots of snacks and food for sale as well. Great place to bring children. Would recommend!

A lovely walk through some gorgeous enclosures however was v unhappy with the size and state of some of the enclosures. A clear disparity between the good and the bad. The red panda enclosure was amazing but most of the rest of them weren't. Upsetting to see.

It is worth going to just to see the 2 wonderful,beautiful Pandas..After the Zoo,take a taxi to Westlake..It is not far..Then get on a Vehicle that takes you all the way around the Lake and it is so cheap,maybe $5....I found the humid heat too hot to walk.At nights it is so beautiful with all the lights.Hangzhou is a wonderful,modern city.Quite extraordinary...Lou Smith

We really enjoyed our time in Hangzhou zoo Very clean, very cute bears and pandas It's really fun for kids and also for a family trip You can spend at least two hours inside the zoo without feeling bored cause there are so many things to do and see in this zoo Don't miss it

Not crowded during weekdays

Great animals and Pandas steal the limelight.

China Hangzhou Zoon ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I couldn't go to this place only because of lack of money, but I'm trying, Insha'Allah, if I have the money, I will go.

It is not as famous as west lake, but a more favorite park for local people. It is less crowded, and more convenient, strongly recommended

Tourism and lots of walking areas

peaceful

(Translated by Google) It is a spectacular scenic spot located in Xiaoshan District, with mountains and water, quiet and open space. Here you can climb up to overlook the panoramic view of the city, eat and relax, set up tents and camp, and breathe fresh air. It is worth mentioning that the scenic area is equipped with complete toilet facilities. Considering the area, such infrastructure arrangement makes people feel comfortable.

(Translated by Google) Last time I went to Phase III of Xianghu Lake, there were much fewer people than West Lake, but it was also a scenic spot with beautiful scenery. There is more peace and less noise. Xiang Lake is a quite peaceful and a relatively less crowded view point compared to West Lake in Hangzhou, a good place to go if you like quiet. (Original) 上次去了湘湖三期，比起西湖来说人少很多，但也是一个风景优美的景区。多了一份宁静，少了一点聒噪。 Xiang Lake is a quite peaceful and a relatively less crowded view point compared to West Lake in Hangzhou, a good place to go if you like quiet.

(Translated by Google) Xianghu Lake – a national-level cultural relic site, is where the world's earliest dugout canoe was unearthed. The park boasts maple, bald pine, and ginkgo trees, and is considered a sister lake to West Lake. Also located are the ruins of the Yue King's City, dating back over 2500 years, the ancient battlefield where Goujian stationed his troops to resist the Wu state. After enjoying the beautiful scenery and savoring delicious food, the restaurant Fuxiang Pavilion, with its elegant private rooms and first-class cuisine, was truly a happy and touching experience. 👍👍 (Original) 湘湖 - 國家级文物保護單位，这裡出土了世界上最早的獨木舟，園區內有楓葉，落羽松和銀杏等樹木，和西湖並稱為姐妹湖。 還有距今2500多年的越王城遺址，勾踐屯兵抗吳的古戰場。 欣賞了湖光山色、品嚐了人間美味，裡面的餐廳浮湘閣，包間大氣高雅，菜色一流，幸福也感動👍👍

Nestled in the embrace of Hangzhou, the Yue Fei Temple stands as a poignant tribute to the celebrated Song Dynasty general, Yue Fei. This historical site is more than just a collection of buildings; it's a journey through time, a place where the echoes of valor and patriotism resonate with every step. As you wander through the temple grounds, the meticulously preserved architecture and serene courtyards create a tranquil atmosphere. The main hall, dedicated to Yue Fei, houses a striking statue of the general, his gaze fixed with determination. Surrounding the hall are various exhibits that narrate his life, from his early days to his tragic demise, offering visitors a deep insight into his unwavering loyalty and military prowess. The temple's significance goes beyond its historical importance; it serves as a reminder of the enduring human values of courage, integrity, and sacrifice. A visit to the Yue Fei Temple is a moving experience, offering a unique opportunity to connect with China's rich history and pay homage to one of its most revered heroes. ✨ Credits to a wonderful Chinese friend of mine ✨

Yue Fei was one of ancient china's most revered warriors and this is a temple to honor his name. Notable at this temple are the shrines dedicated to him, his son, and his loyal subordinates, as well as his tomb, in front of which there are 2 kneeling statues of his enemies. If you are not interested in history there are also a few gardens here that are very pretty, especially when the cherry blossoms sprout in springtime.

Temple for the Song dynasty general. Went in to pay respect to the legendary hero. It’s a short walk to from the other end of 苏堤. You can’t use Alipay to buy the ticket. Need to use WeChat pay. Entrance is CNY25 per person.

In the wake of the "Four Olds" campaign that ignited in 1966, middle school students in Tangyin County, Henan Province, targeted the legendary figure of Yue Fei, a historical hero known for his resistance against foreign invaders. These young revolutionaries stormed the Yue Fei Temple, dismantling statues of Yue Fei and his comrades, while also toppling the kneeling iron figures of Qin Hui and other so-called "traitors." They didn't stop there; they methodically obliterated ancient inscriptions, erasing centuries of cultural heritage with reckless abandon. In Hangzhou, where Yue Fei's legacy was more pronounced, the fervor against him intensified. The Red Guards there took their zeal to an appalling extreme, exhuming Yue Fei's tomb and transforming what was once a revered mausoleum into a dismal pit. His remains were desecrated, reduced to ashes scattered without reverence or remorse. The subsequent renovation in 1979 stood as a mere façade, a hollow representation of a past that had been violently stripped away. This episode serves as a stark reminder of how political movements can distort historical narratives and cultural symbols. The destruction of Yue Fei's legacy reflects not only a tragic loss of history but also a broader commentary on the dangers of ideological extremism. It raises questions about how we remember our heroes and villains, and how easily passion can lead to destruction. In an era where history is often rewritten or forgotten, the fate of figures like Yue Fei reminds us that cultural heritage deserves preservation — not just for its own sake, but for the lessons it imparts to future generations.

Probably the best place in Shanghai. Go there both day and evening.

Great memorial to one of the true heroes in Chinese history. There are a lot of biographical information and was indeed educational.

Quick stop when you're near West Lake. A temple dedicated to Yue Fei. Free to enter. Short video to get an idea of what to expect starting at 24:43 - 26:09. https://youtu.be/hZ9MHLyjuoQ

Supposedly the emperor came here to view and drink the famed Long Jing tea, there are the original 18 tea plants 十八棵御茶. Came in the late evening so there's no crowds at all. Interesting history about the famous tea but that's about it.

All about chinese Long Jing Tea, a beautiful greenery tea farm, and you decide taste and see demo for making a pot of Long Jing Tea. At the end, you whether to purchase or not. But I can see most visitors are buying it, some even buy a lot. It is a very good tea to taste !! I like it...

This place was heaven for me. I love tea, so to see the tea plantations, the history, the tea ceremony... it was the highlight of my trip. It's so peaceful out there and everyone was really nice and helpful. I do plan to go back someday and do it all again.

The tea are planted around the hill, there are five most popular tea hills, and the village in located at the one called "lion", one of the best among others. Typically the taste is different by when they pick the tea leaf. All the villagers are promoting their tea when you walk around, it's OK to try but be aware when you want to buy, the price of "longjing" tea vary a lot depending on the grade. It could be up to 3000rmb per half kg, or as cheap as 100rmb/500g. Perhaps it's better to bring along expert if you don't want to be cheated.

Great tea plantation. Good experience walking up the fields.

It was a very memorable experience ✨️

Wonderful tea farm with, honestly, the best tea in the world. I've had the opportunity to go several times over the years and I always go home with a bunch of tea. It is the most delicious and invigorating I've ever found and the best in terms of flavor and caffeination.

Well worth a visit. This historically themed 'culture park' explores the history of Hangzhou's golden age. The multimedia performance show is wonderful, with flame, waterfalls flooding the stage, warriors flying in on ziplines and besieging a massive castle, a noble hero fighting off the invading hordes while finding time to save a baby randomly on the battlefield. Clowns, acrobats, contortionists and lots of scantily clad dancers. The theatre seats a thousand, for multiple shows every day, and was packed on the Monday evening we were there. Brilliant.

Very good very nice absolutely awesome

Great view and atmosphere

Nice views and atmoshpere. Walk around but dont bother with the tea

Pictureque park. So beautiful even in winter, Dec2023. The gardeners were planting tulip bulbs getting ready for March 2024 early spring bloom. We came a second time at 16 April 2024. It was too late. Tulips had all withered. Must come around March 10th

A garden by the West Lake. It was beautiful with meandering lakes, rocks, and grass field. However, because I went in December, there were no flowers or lush-green trees. I wish I came here in the Spring to see all the colorful plants to awe upon. Even though it was a winter season, I saw many couples posing for their wedding photos. Imagine how beautiful it would be in the spring and summer! I will definitely recommend this place to go in the Spring!

Nice park to visit around March/April when flowers start to blossom, but might be overhelmed by tourists and wedding photographers, not recommended on sunny week-end because of the crowd.

Taiziwan park is the most pretty garden I have ever seen. She has unique view no matter which season comes. As a Hangzhounese, I call on, If you want to luxuriate in the beauties of the park, Please do not litter.

Beautiful gardens just off of the West Lake. Serene and picturesque, i think it offers a little relief from the crowds at the West Lake!

Beautiful park , fantastic place for photographer.. Different session different feel . Summer picture

Best place, very relaxing. Full of flowers during the spring time! Recommended to go 10/10

Adjacent to the Yue Fei Temple lies the Tomb of Yue Fei, a solemn and reflective site that marks the final resting place of the celebrated general. This location is not merely a burial ground; it's a powerful symbol of remembrance and a testament to the enduring legacy of Yue Fei's patriotism and sacrifice. The tomb itself is a simple yet dignified structure, reflecting the humility of the man it honors. The site is enhanced by the presence of statues of those who were responsible for his death, forever kneeling in front of his tomb, a stark reminder of the injustice he suffered. The atmosphere here is one of reverence and contemplation, inviting visitors to reflect on the complexities of history and the enduring impact of Yue Fei's unwavering loyalty. Visiting the Tomb of Yue Fei is a profound experience, offering a unique opportunity to connect with the past and appreciate the values that Yue Fei embodied. It's a place where history comes alive, providing a moving tribute to a national hero and a poignant reminder of the price of loyalty.

Great place to pay respect to a Chinese Hero

Was a beautiful place to explore. I found the history interesting and as always well maintained. Those with walking difficulties could however find done parts a little challenging but not hard.

Yue Fei (1103 - 1141) came from Tangyin in Xiangzhou of today's Henan Province. He was a great general famous for wars against the Jin Dynasty (1115 - 1234) in the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279). After he joined the army, he and his troops continuously won wars against the Jin. However, after Yue and his army had recovered most of the lost territory, Emperor Gaozong (1107 - 1187) embraced the evil plot of Qin Hui (1090 - 1155, Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty) and surrendered to the Jin. As a result, he was falsely accused and later secretly killed in jail. A few years later, the wrong was put right when Emperor Xiao Zong (1163 - 1189) came to power. The tomb was built in memory of this great hero. Yue Fei is always considered as a national hero. The Tomb of General Yue Fei has been demolished and renovated several times. The existing one was rebuilt in 1715 in the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) and comprehensively repaired in 1979.

Went on a slow day, the temple was serene and a great detour from the general area. Quick history lesson, YueFei is probably the most respected general in Chinese culture. You'll see his statue around restaurants and shops among all Chinese diaspora around the world. Worth a visit of his tomb and learn about the history

Such a cool and beautiful place to visit

A beautiful temple with shares a lot of history of China and the Three Kingdoms Period. Right across the street is a great lotus patch which also offers boat tours. If you would like to eat here, I would recommend a restraint across the street which has a red rooftop and is in Chinese. You should really try the dumplings!

We were truly stunned by the Chenghuang (City God Pavilion) temple in Hangzhou. This unique temple offers a remarkable experience, blending amazing traditional architecture with an atmosphere of tranquility. From the top of the pavilion, the stunning panoramic views of West Lake and the surrounding city of Hangzhou are simply breathtaking. The intricate design and cultural significance of the temple left a lasting impression, making it an absolute must-visit for anyone in the area.

Little park close to west lake area with a pavilion on the top. The park area is beautiful with lots of ancient trees. Can walk around and have many viewpoints around the area. To go to the god pavilion itself you need ti buy tickets which is pretty expensive relative to what you will get to see. So it's better to wlak through the park but don't go to the pavilion as it's better to see the pavilion from outside than from within.

See the whole city from the top The view is just amazing from the top! You can see the whole city, old and modern buildings alltogether, and the West Lake too, it's just breathtaking. It took me a while to go up to the hill where it is located, but it was totally worth it. The ticket was 30CNY/person (around 4,5USD).

There is a flower show

Unique pavilion in traditional Chinese style. A landmark in the West Lake area. Can get a great panoramic view of the Hangzhou city from the top level

We had a hard time walking to the Pavilion, as they're doing construction nearby that blocks off a few of the roads. If you head towards Hefang Street you can get to it easier. The Pavilion is gorgeous and you have fantastic views. At night it lights up and looks fabulous from afar.

A tourist trap, nothing of art or ancient, nothing good looking, just a view on the lake

Visited several times and didn’t see anyone whipping the animals. Staff treat the animals with respect and baby animals are so cute

During my 5 hour visit on a weekday, I did not see any animal abuse whatsoever, in contrary to the reviews. In fact, the zookeepers were nice and playful with the animals. Although some enclosures could be renovated, most of the enclosures are spacious and fitting for the animals. On weekdays, there are little to no people, so rides and animal enclosures are virtually private. Very suitable for young children, would recommend.

Singaporean here .. first time to Hz China. A very memorable experience ! Good spacious park! We can even drive around with their rental car

I know this isn't the kind of place to respond to, but this is specifically to Atlantic 31, because they don't seem to understand the concept of free speech and actual racism. But then again calling us "white trash" really shows what kind of person you are. Nobody here is trying to make China look bad. We're just saying what we see. If anything, the park is making China look bad. Especially with China's animal abuse problem. And before you even try to say it, not everybody calling China's animal abuse out, actually think it's the citizen's fault. From what I've read, many people in China genuinely care about animal rights. And want animals to be treated better. However, the Chinese Government's refusal to grant more protection to animals allows more animal abuse to be practiced freely and without shame. And of course, not everybody is able to realize what is abuse at first glance. Also you can't dictate what kind of animal abuse people talk about. Just because the abuse happens in a different country, doesn't make it automatically okay. Culture and tradition shouldn't be considered moral at the expense of others. Animal circuses aren't even a part of Chinese culture. You're obviously defending this place out of your own bias. Also you're dunking on people's spelling when you have grammar errors yourself. Mister "Somebody is calling others that being this delusional" ;) As for the Hangzhou Safari Park itself, not much to say about it. The other reviews said it for me, but a small summary, the park was caught whipping their tigers, news agency reviews park, park owner denies the whipping was abuse. The park's enclosures are poor and not kept in good condition. Then, their leopards escape, and because China's economy was bad at the time, and it was the holiday, the park hid the escape from the public to keep sales. Also they have white tigers which are commonly associated with animal trafficking and are inbred to stay white. Overall, an abusive, poorly kept, exploitive, endangering, greedy, and irresponsible park. Definitely don't go, it won't be worth your time.

Please stop the cruelty to animals! The horrible footage of beating a white tiger so that it performs a stupid trick for tourists is all over the world. These are magnificent and rare animals that deserve a better life. Don't go to this park if you love animals

I read a lot about animal cruelty in this place. I have not seen it during my three hour visit. Many Tigers and Lions in comfortable areas. Includes giant panda. Would recommend. Was unable to buy food...

Never been here don't want to. However, seen the video of them using a whip on the tigers. These are wild animals who belong in their natural habitat, NOT doing tricks for human entertainment! Just confirms China's appalling record for animal abuse!

its time to get waded

Been visiting for years, every time I'm in Hangzhou. Great place, staff, live singer, football on the big screen, good food and beer.

Very nice temple and easy to find the place

You know how people always say don't take the elevator up the Efifel Tower because you'll miss the most iconic tower? This is the same logic, skip Leifeng Pagoda, instead head for Jingci Temple. You get a pretty good view of the Pagoda. Oh and did I mention that the tickets are like a tenth of Leifeng Pagoda?

Good and peaceful environment.

This area is so expansive and beautiful it is worth a 20 miles hike around this ancient temple

Beautiful temple.

A very nice and quiet temple!

From the Ocean Sea also come daily supplies of fish in great quantity, brought 25 miles up the river, and there is also great store of fish from the lake, which is the constant resort of fishermen, who have no other business. Their fish is of sundry kinds, changing with the season; and, owing to the impurities of the city which pass into the lake, it is remarkably fat and savoury. Any one who should see the supply of fish in the market would suppose it impossible that such a quantity could ever be sold; and yet in a few hours the whole shall be cleared away; so great is the number of inhabitants who are accustomed to delicate living. Indeed they eat fish and flesh at the same meal.All the ten market places are encompassed by lofty houses, and below these are shops where all sorts of crafts are carried on, and all sorts of wares are on sale, including spices and jewels and pearls. Some of these shops are entirely devoted to the sale of wine made from rice and spices, which is constantly made fresh and fresh, and is sold very cheap.

Great place to jog.....Awesome.

Running route along the riverside has recently been extended towards bridge number 2.

Neat river, lots of water. 5/5 will go again

climb to top of tower to see outside. do not miss it.

Always best to have a local guide to advise you about the history

Extremely beautiful from the outside yet some of the classrooms and hallways were quite decrepit with a lingering smell of musty clay. I recommend entry from the south gate as it is often the only open tourist entry. Make sure to reserve ahead on busy days. Otherwise you can reserve at the guard shack.

Very difficult to book tickets as a non local. Further trip.com couldn’t find my booking so we got in 15 min late. Show itself was impressive but not sure if it’s worth the high price

If in hangzhou then definitely go for this! Its an hour or so light and dance spectacle. The whole ambience and visual aspect cant be captures through camera. Aftera while i stopped taking videos and pictures and just enjoy the performances. Its on the expensive side, had to skip a nights dinner so that i could fit this on my budget but definitely worth it :p The prices are similar to that dispalyed on trip.com. Make sure to book a day prior of booking through that. I got a QR to enter few hours after the payment on whatsapp. Come a few hours earlier around 4ish to explore the area nearby, there is a beautiful park and a temple which will eat up the time.

An amazing show! Not to be missed! Wish it was a bit longer though, some solo singing bits should have volume down a bit (or get a better sound system) and stricter rules on no phone video taking.

Such a great experience and show. Well worth the ticket price. Truly spectacular.

Need to purchase ticket via china platform beforehand as it gets sold out before the night/performance. It wasn't available on the night we wanted to go after dinner so we had to quickly find a way to buy for the second night.

Must come in Hangzhou! For night show or sunset view. 🫶🏼

We loved this show. Lights, singing and dancing on water. The scrolling sign saying what was going on was in Chinese in our section (we could just see one in English in the next section) but it wasn't needed to enjoy the show. The show doesn't have a storyline (I've read that other similar ones do) but rather each scene is self contained. The only very slight detraction for me is that at one point the lights say G20 - 2016 as the show was re-vamped for that, which now seems irrelevant, but it was only one short moment. I thought it was well worth seeing especially as we were staying in the area anyway.

Small beautiful garden/temple with a little pond and beautiful little waterfall.

It's beautiful. You started from here, climbed the hill, and finally you reached the West Lake!

Good place for a stroll. One of new 10 scenaries of west lake.

Awesome

Tranquil and scenic place

(Translated by Google) Buy an admission ticket and enter. The park is surprisingly large and perfect for a walk. I was lucky to come across a place where Song plays were being performed. It is a cloister-style garden where you can walk around the pond and directly below the waterfall, and the ``golden dragon head'' at the top of the waterfall can only be seen from the pond side. The Dokan (temple) is located on the top of the mountain, so please consider your physical strength before going sightseeing. When you finish sightseeing and start walking outside the park, you will come across a sign (←Yuewang Temple) showing the route over the mountain (=hiking) to Yuefei Temple. You can reach your destination in about 30 minutes on a well-maintained short cut course.

Definitely worth a visit. Now world heritage listed, this location is a wonderful place of tranquility in a large metropolitan footprint. Extremely busy with tourist and locals alike all enjoy the views of this expansive body of water. The boats look old, but are very safe, solid, seaworthy and well built.

Extremely peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy especially during spring break.

Super crowded even on a Monday.

(Translated by Google) Hangzhou Confucius Temple is located north of Wushan Square and east of Wenying on the Liuan bank of the West Lake. It was a government-run school during the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Confucius Temple in Hangzhou is also called the Forest of Steles because it collects a large number of inscriptions. The second entrance to the Confucius Temple is the courtyard. The scale is not large, but the inscriptions here are very rich and of many types. There is a dazzling array of dharma stickers from famous people, royal brushes from emperors, portraits, astronomical star charts, etc. Lovers of stele engravings will definitely not want to leave. Ordinary tourists can enjoy reading and admiring as they like.
