My trip to Hangzhou was the best journey I have had to China and this was down to having employed a local guide by the name of Bonnie. Bonnie speaks excellent English and knows the area like the back of her hand. Knowledgeable, informative and with an excellent sense of humour. I learnt so much more than I could have hoped for in my short time in Hangzhou by having Bonnie on hand to explain it all to me and answering all of my questions. We hired a car to get around and would recommend you do the same as there is so much to see. Make sure you visit Longjing Valley Longjing Green Tea tasting, Lake West and its beautiful park and the Lingyin Buddhist Temple. We really appreciated that Bonnie helped us buy the entrance tickets from her own agent to stay away from the long line at the ticket office.
