To most visitors, it is an acceptable theory that the most beautiful scenery of Hangzhou lies in the West Lake. Today, you will have a full morning feeling the charm of this picturesque lake by a boat ride. You must feel like drifting in a scroll of Chinese landscape painting with surrounding pavilions, bridges, plants, and hills casting their reflection on the water.

After that, continue the Hangzhou city tour to the Flower Harbor where you can view shoals of fish in the ponds and even feed them if interested. Then we will climb up the nearby Wushan Mountain to view the full scenery of the West Lake at the City God Pavilion on the hilltop.

At noon, you can have lunch at your own expense and then a visit to the Peak Flown From Afar and the Lingyin Temple will be scheduled in the afternoon. After immersing yourself in the tranquil atmosphere and profound Buddhist culture there, our guide will transfer you to the airport or train station and see you off.
