Hangzhou West Lake and Longjing Tea Private Tour

Discover Hangzhou’s West Lake scenery and Longjing tea culture on a private day trip from Shanghai. Round-trip second-class high-speed train tickets are included. Travel independently from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, where your English-speaking guide and private driver will meet you on arrival at Hangzhou East Railway Station. Explore selected West Lake lakeside paths, enjoy a farmhouse lunch with a CNY 100 allowance per guest, then visit the tea landscape of Meijiawu and Shimei Tea House. Your tea experience includes a guided tasting, an introduction to traditional hand roasting, and seasonal tea picking when conditions permit. Complete the day with one hands-on cultural workshop of your choice before returning to Shanghai by train. There are no compulsory shopping stops.
