Hangzhou 3 Days 2 Nights Classic Tour Guide🌸 Covering West Lake, Longjing, and Xixi, this itinerary captures all the essence of Hangzhou’s top attractions. Follow it and you won’t go wrong!

Day 1️⃣ West Lake Cultural One-Day Tour
📍West Lake: It’s best to arrive before 8 AM at Broken Bridge for fewer crowds and beautiful scenery perfect for photos! Highly recommend taking a hand-rowed boat (150 RMB/hour) to truly experience the poetic feeling of "a boat sailing on emerald waves."
📍Lingyin Temple: Tickets are 45 RMB + 30 RMB for incense and flower vouchers. Remember to wear comfortable shoes as there’s a short uphill walk. The plain noodles at the temple entrance are delicious!
📍Leifeng Pagoda: Tickets 40 RMB. Recommended to visit in the evening to watch the sunset from the pagoda, with a panoramic view of West Lake🌇
🍽️Dinner recommendation: Wulin Night Market (Metro Line 1, Wulin Square Station). Try the popular scallion pancake and Ding Sheng cake.

Day 2️⃣ Tea-Scented Hiking Tour
🍵Longjing Village: Free admission. Arrive before 9 AM to catch tea-picking scenes. Every household offers tea tasting; don’t miss the pre-Qingming Longjing tea!
🚶Shili Langdang: A 3 km hiking route surrounded by tea fields, very soothing. Remember to wear non-slip shoes.
💦Jiuxi Eighteen Streams: A must-visit in summer! The creek water is icy cool and refreshing. Bring water shoes.
🌙Three Pools Mirroring the Moon: Especially beautiful for night tours. Boat ticket 50 RMB includes island access.
⚠️Tips: This route involves a lot of walking, so bring plenty of water and sun protection.

Day 3️⃣ Wetland Leisure Day
🛶Xixi Wetland: 80 RMB ticket, recommended to enter from Zhoujia Village entrance. Rowboat 100 RMB/hour, much more authentic than big boats!
🦆Recommended check-ins: Shentan Kou, Hezhu Street (the popular "Xixi Qie Liuxia" white wall is here)
🍃Afternoon is free for your own plans: History lovers should visit Hu Xueyan’s Former Residence; artsy visitors must go to Xiaoshu Library (remember to book in advance).

Transportation Tips:
🚇 Hangzhou city metro is super convenient; just get the "Hangzhou Metro Ride Code" on Alipay.
🚌 There’s a dedicated tourist bus for the West Lake loop; buying a day pass is recommended.
🚕 It’s best to take a taxi to Longjing Village as the bus requires transfers and is inconvenient.

Food Recommendations:
✔️Hangzhou Restaurant (Yan’an Road Branch): Must-try Dongpo Pork and Beggar’s Chicken.
✔️Zhiweiguan (Hubin Main Branch): The soup dumplings and cat’s ear noodles are amazing.
✔️Fuyuanju: A local favorite for Hangzhou cuisine; crispy pork intestines are a must-order.
