Great experience in Hangzhou
China Highlights is a very professional travel agency. We had a truly great experience with them. A special thanks goes to our guide Susan, who introduced us to the beauty of Hangzhou. Susan is a truly special person — we immediately connected with her. She is very professional and knowledgeable, and she took us to visit the stunning West Lake and the beautiful town of Wuzhen. Five stars for this wonderful guide! more

Liberman & Eleven are TOP !!!
Our guide this year, Eleven, was fantastic. Passionate and dedicated to his work, he shared his love for his city in a very engaging way. His storytelling made every moment memorable, and the private tea experience he arranged was truly special.Thanks to both of them, we enjoyed a smooth and meaningful journey—even under the heat of summer—and discovered each destination in depth. more

Suggested Itinerary
We'll pick you up in the morning from your hotel/ train station, and drive to the place of origin of the best Dragon Well tea – Meijiawu Tea Village. A local tea specialist will welcome you with bamboo baskets, and accompany you to the tea plantation. Your first task will be to choose appropriate tea leaves and pick them in the right way. After tea-picking, the tea specialist will take you home and show you the process of stir-frying tea. This process dehydrates the leaves and helps preserve their beautiful green color. If you like, you can have a go—be careful, though, the huge iron pot is very hot (around 200℃). The tea specialist will show you the art of the tea ceremony, and introduce you to the proper way to taste tea.
Introduction to our tea specialist
Born into a tea family, our tea specialist has been familiar with tea from childhood. With the family tea plantation as inspiration, our specialist is devoted to spreading China's tea culture, and has taken part in many international tea-promotion films.
After saying goodbye to the tea village, we'll drive to the China National Tea Museum. This is China's only museum dedicated to tea. There you will see tea exhibits and precious teaware, and will learn about the general history and classification of tea.
At Chenghuang Pavilion you can have a bird's-eye view over Hangzhou and West Lake. You will have a break and enjoy a Southern Song Dynasty Snacks here.
In the afternoon have a relaxing visit to West Lake, one of the major landmarks of Hangzhou. Stroll alongside the lake, and take a cruise to Fairy Island.
After the tour we will escort you to your hotel/ train station.
