Explore the tea hills around Hangzhou’s West Lake on this guided hiking day trip from Shanghai. Both listed options have an approximately 11-hour duration including transfers.

For the Chinese-speaking group option, travel by coach from a confirmed Shanghai metro meeting point. The option lists Century Avenue Exit 6, Yishan Road Exit 11 and Songjiang New Town Exit 4, with the final meeting place and time confirmed after booking. Bring your own picnic lunch and water. Return to the same meeting point.

The private option provides an English-speaking guide and car pickup within the configured area, with return to the same pickup location. Lunch and dinner are listed in the private option description. Confirm the exact pickup details and meal arrangements for your booking.

Walk around Nine Creeks and the Longjing tea-growing landscape, with bamboo groves, tea fields and hill paths. The route description also lists Shizi Mountain, Five Cloud Mountain and Yunqi Bamboo Path; the final walking route depends on the selected option, trail conditions and available time. Confirm the planned stops before booking.

This is a hiking experience rather than a tea-tasting or calligraphy workshop. Tea drinks, shopping and any attraction admissions not specifically listed as included are at your own expense. Wear suitable hiking shoes, bring water and carry out all rubbish. Uneven paths, steps and slippery sections require suitable fitness.
