My parents and I, being huge tea enthusiasts, had an unforgettable time exploring Hangzhou. We kicked off our trip with a relaxing West Lake Boat Cruise, which was the perfect way to take in the city’s stunning scenery. The tranquil atmosphere at Viewing Fish at the Flower Pond was equally delightful, offering a serene escape amid the lush surroundings.

A major highlight was our visit to the China National Tea Museum. We delved deep into the history and cultural significance of Chinese tea, which really enriched our understanding. Sampling Longjing tea at the Meijiawu Tea Plantation was a standout experience. The tea was incredibly fresh and fragrant, and the chance to see the tea-making process up close was fascinating.

Our guide also recommended some fantastic local restaurants, and the food was exceptional. We tried a variety of Hangzhou specialties, and each dish was more delicious than the last. The flavors were vibrant and authentic, and we’ve been raving about the meals ever since.

Our trip to Hangzhou was everything we hoped for and more. We came away with fantastic memories, a deeper appreciation for Chinese tea, and a new love for Hangzhou's incredible cuisine.
