First, taking a boat sailing on the picturesque West Lake. This is an enjoyable and relaxing way to appreciate the beautiful scenery with its islands, causeways, temples, pagodas and ornamental planting. Different from appreciating scenery on the bank of West Lake, you’ll enjoy the heavenly lake view in another angle, closer and closer. It is not surprised that you’ll become a part of this traditional Chinese painting. West Lake has an area of 5.6 square kilometers (2.2 square miles) and is the symbol of Hangzhou which lies on its banks and is a place of tranquility.

Later, drive to the Leifeng Pagoda.Leifeng Pagoda stands on Leifeng Peak of Sunset Hill to the south of West Lake, echoing the Baochu Pagoda in the north. It is the oldest colorful bronze pagoda in China. Standing on the top of the pagoda, tourists can appreciate the nearby Jingci Temple, enjoy the landscapes of West Lake, and even see the city of Hangzhou from a distance.Leifeng Pagoda is an octagonal five-storied wood-and-brick pagoda located on Sunset Hill south of West Lake. It’s the landmark of Hangzhou which is of great historical and cultural importance, and noted as one of Ten Scenes of West Lake,as well as has a deep connection with popular legends.

Next, drive to the Guo Garden : Completed in 1861, this elegant garden villa was built as a private retreat for a wealthy Qing Dynasty silk merchant. Guo's Villa (Guo Zhuang, ??) is a fine example of Chinese aesthetics in which the manmade and natural blend in harmonious balance.The Villa opened to the public in 1991, after being restored. It faces Spring Dawn, by the Sudi Causeway which crosses the West Lake, and has a distant view of the serene Southern Screen Hill and the Baochu Pagoda. The villa has two sections (1) Living in Quietness, where the owner lived (2) the Sky in the Mirror garden, with a pond surrounded by roofed corridors (lang), bridges, rockwork, trees and flowers.

While traveling to China you must visit Hangzhou (40-minute train ride away from Shanghai). It is an amazing city full of parks and culture, the lake is breathtaking. We were picked-up by David at the train station (he contacted us beforehand to explain the logistics). He was very knowledgeable about Hangzhou, China history, Chinese culture and had very interesting conversations about daily life and modern China. David tailored the tour a bit to our interests, so we visited a beautiful park visited by locals that was amazing. The visit to the tea-plantations and conversation we had with David were a true highlights of the tour. He also showed us how to take the train and where locals go shopping. This tour is highly recommended!

This is a FANTASTIC way to see the whole city, especially for any first-timers visiting the city.

I also wanted to tell you how great our tour guide Nancy was. She really did a fabulous job. She was very good with the kids and completely connected with Kalin and Drew. My highest compliments to her – She was excellent.
