Overview

Hangzhou has always been known as the "Paradise on earth", a city endowed with picturesque West Lake, fine green tea, and lakeside temples. Rather than struggling to plan your own itinerary, make the most of Hangzhou on a private full-day tour. It's the perfect introduction for first-time China visitors. Just pick three attractions, perhaps the boat ride on the west lake, Lingyin temple, Guo's Villa or tea plantation, and design your dream day out. Entrance fees are at your own expense, upgrade to tour with first class train ticket at the time of booking.

Hidden Gem

Published on Dec, 2019

We had an amazing day in Hangzhou from start to finish! Kelly arranged every detail of this tour so well. From our train tickets to our local Hangzhou tour guide and driver. On our way to the Shanghai train station, we got to experience a local breakfast treat ... jiang bing (pancake)! Abby shared her knowledge of Hangzhou .. the beautiful trees and gardens, Lingyin Temple, pagodas and Happy Buddha. We enjoyed a short boat ride around the area and enjoyed a delicious lunch at Green Tea restaurant. It was cold and rainy, but that didn't put a damper on the day!

Mesmerising Trip

Published on Oct, 2019

Hangzhou is truly one of the paradises on earth with beautiful manicured trees and gardens with low rise mountains. I must thank Kelly from Shanghai Melody for organising professionally such a flawless day trip from pickup us up from our hotel to station for Bullet train, travelling with us to Hangzhou, taking care of sightseeing, organising one of the finest lunch, accompanying us back to Shanghai and dropping us back to the hotel. As a very frequent traveller my experience with Kelly changed my perception of organising travel thru travel agents. I wish all the travel agency pampers their customers the way Kelly has pampered my family.
