Highlights
Hangzhou is best experienced slowly, with people who know where to go and when to avoid the crowds. This private day is hosted by Clement and Flora, two young locals who share a genuine connection to the city. Flora was born and raised in Hangzhou, while Clement grew up abroad but has long-standing family roots here through his grandmother. Together, we offer both an insider’s familiarity and an international traveler’s perspective. Rather than following a fixed sightseeing checklist, we plan the trip around what you actually enjoy. You might wander through quiet corners of West Lake, visit a hillside temple, stop for a meal we genuinely like, discover a hidden café, or end the evening with a drink. There are no compulsory attractions, shopping stops, or generic group-tour meals. The goal is simply to help you experience Hangzhou in a relaxed, personal, and memorable way. Multi-day itineraries are also available upon request and are quoted separately.

About Hangzhou
Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, is a city of lakes and tea hills centred on West Lake, with temples, pagodas and a past as an imperial capital.
Hangzhou grew around West Lake, a shallow, willow-fringed lake ringed by hills, causeways and pagodas that has inspired Chinese poets and painters for centuries and is a World Heritage landscape. The city was the capital of the Southern Song dynasty from the 12th century, and it marks the southern end of the Grand Canal. Boats cross the lake to small islands, and the Su and Bai Causeways are favourite walking routes.
Top-ranked sights in Hangzhou: West Lake (Xi Hu), Lingyin Temple, Meijiawu Tea Village.
