Three days in Hangzhou flew by, but somehow it didn’t feel rushed at all! The itinerary was jam-packed with culture, nature, and modern innovation. We kicked things off exploring Southern Song Imperial Street, where we stumbled upon amazing local artisans. The craft museums let us get hands-on, and the Hangzhou Museum was a deep dive into history.

The views from Leifeng Pagoda were unreal, and the legends behind it added so much charm. Drifting through Xixi Wetland by boat was super peaceful, and walking among the Dragon Well tea bushes was a whole vibe. The Song Dynasty tea ceremony and Guqin performance were once-in-a-lifetime experiences. And visiting Alibaba’s headquarters? Total contrast, but it showed how Hangzhou mixes tradition with cutting-edge tech. Every stop was well-organized, making the old and new blend together perfectly.
