My wife Sarah and I had an incredible time in Hangzhou. We started off with a relaxing West Lake Boat Cruise, which was a perfect introduction to the city.

The highlight for us was definitely Leifeng Pagoda. We were both captivated by the legend of the White Snake—such a magical story! The views from the top were spectacular, and learning about the pagoda’s history and its connection to the legend made it all the more fascinating. I’m really into history, so the backstory was awesome for me, and Sarah was mesmerized by how the legend fit with the gorgeous views.

Another fantastic part of our trip was visiting Meijiawu Tea Plantation. Tasting Longjing tea was a real treat. I enjoyed learning all about how the tea is made and its significance, while Sarah loved the peaceful vibe of the tea fields. It was a great way to dive into Chinese tea culture.

Leifeng Pagoda and Meijiawu Tea Plantation gave us unforgettable experiences and a deeper appreciation for China’s rich heritage.
