Early in the morning, went to explore the tea plantations in Hangzhou, awesome experience as higher you go, the path leading me up to the top of the hills or mountains. Rows and rows of tea plantations across the hills and the mountainsides, it make me wonder how mankind and nature go together hand by hand. #China #red #hiking #nationalpark

Hard to find much of the old town. Lots of construction, all new.

Hangzhou is a great retreat from the more cosmopolitan Shanghai or Nanjing. With the rapid urbanization, it is nice to find some old quarters that are worth visiting for a feel of old China. The free Hangzhou museum holds some interesting displays.

4/5 - Good

Hangzhou has a great transport system throughout the city. Like any city though, it does take a while to get anywhere. So, if you decide to come to Hangzhou and have plans or tickets for anything, plan for transportation to take at minimum 1hour.

5/5 - Excellent

Beautiful city! Worth a trip! Highly recommend to download wechat and Alipay. They barely use any cash anymore. For all those restaurants I’ve been to, you need to place orders through scanning table QR codes.
