4 West Lake Tours in Hangzhou Worth Booking

1.Heaven on Earth Day Trip from Shanghai including West Lake Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 115 reviews · from $169Our pick

Day trip from Shanghai to Hangzhou with West Lake cruise, Six Harmonies Pagoda, and a tea ceremony. Includes lunch, tickets, pickup.

“Hangzhou is a long drive from Shanghai - about 3 hours, but it is worth the trip. The West Lake was lovely and whilst it would have been nice to walk around, time was constricted, so going on a boat ride instead was a quick, nice and convenient way to view the lake and the stunning scenery. Lunch was OK - not the best. The trip to the China National Tea Museum was good fun - tasting green tea! Visiting Liuhe Pagoda was a nice way to end the day.”
