Price on request
Overview
This 3-day, 2-night route covers Hangzhou, Wuzhen, Xitang and Nanxun. Meet in Hangzhou and explore Wuzhen West, Xitang and Nanxun before finishing with West Lake and Qinghefang. It suits a short, concentrated water-town break with evening and daytime walks; allow enough time for your final connection from Hangzhou East Station.
Highlights
Wuzhen West after dusk
Visit Wuzhen's West Scenic Zone into the evening, when riverside lights and stone bridges add depth to the water-town scenery.
West Lake and old-street walks
Combine lakeside sightseeing with Hefang Street, balancing scenery and old-town browsing. Choose your own food and rest stops during free time.
Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1Meet at Hangzhou East Station / Wuzhen West by night
Make your own way to Hangzhou from elsewhere in China or abroad. Meet at Hangzhou East Station at 14:30 and travel to Wuzhen West for waterside lanes and evening scenery. Stay in a Wuzhen inn; during holidays, conferences or full occupancy, an equivalent hotel outside Wuzhen or in Tongxiang substitutes. Wuzhen West's rowing boats are excluded and may be booked separately as an optional activity.
Stops: Wuzhen West, including evening sightseeing
Day 2Xitang and Nanxun Old Town
After breakfast, visit Xitang, with a complimentary electric-boat ride and Hanfu experience, followed by Nanxun with a complimentary boat ride. Both complimentary cruises are offered only with the corresponding admission-inclusive product and may be cancelled on public holidays, during major events or because of capacity limits. Continue to your hotel in Hangzhou. Songcheng and the Romance of the Song Dynasty show are optional paid activities. Lunch and dinner are at your own expense.
Stops: Xitang · Nanxun Old Town
Day 3West Lake and Qinghefang / Hangzhou East Station transfer
After breakfast, walk around West Lake, Su Causeway and Viewing Fish at Flower Harbour, then visit Qinghefang. Lunch is local Hangzhou cuisine. The group then transfers to Hangzhou East Station, so book trains after 15:30. If you are leaving from elsewhere, make your own way; we recommend Xiaoshan Airport flights after 17:00, adding an hour on public holidays. Guests leaving earlier or staying on for free time travel to the station or airport on their own.
Stops: West Lake walk · Qinghefang
