Qiantang Farm is located on Fengqi East Road, No. 5 Gang Road, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou. Spanning approximately 220 mu (approximately 167 acres), the farmland is divided into two sections, north and south. The northern section comprises 167 mu (approximately 167 acres) of farmland, cultivated according to the rhythms of nature. A "local, ecological, and circular" approach creates the city center's only natural club and integrated aesthetic space. The southern section comprises 54 mu (approximately 167 acres) of cultural and creative park, inspired by the architectural fabric of traditional farmhouses from the 1980s and 1990s. While preserving the traditional concept of "farming surrounded by farmhouses and farmhouses," the park integrates dining, homestays, a marketplace, and a maker platform, centered around the aesthetics of life. The entire farm aims to reconnect people with the land and their spiritual homeland, committed to helping citizens practice sustainable living.

Qiantang Farm is a modern agricultural attraction that aims to promote organic farming and sustainable agriculture. It's a place where visitors can learn about farming techniques, enjoy fresh produce, and experience the peaceful rural life of Hangzhou’s countryside.
Qiantang Farm is located in the Qiantang District of Hangzhou. It can be accessed by taxi or private car from the city center. Public buses are also available, but walking is not recommended due to the distance from central areas.
The farm is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The best times to visit are during spring and autumn, when the weather is pleasant and you can enjoy outdoor activities comfortably. Weekdays are less crowded than weekends.
The entrance fee is approximately 50 CNY. Tickets can be purchased on-site at the entrance, and there may be some online booking options during peak seasons. It’s recommended to check the farm’s website for updates.
Booking tickets in advance is not necessary unless visiting during peak seasons like holidays or weekends. In those cases, booking at least a week in advance is advisable to avoid long queues.
You’ll need around 2 to 3 hours to explore the farm fully, depending on how long you spend engaging in activities like fruit picking, exploring the farm, or enjoying the restaurant.
The main highlights include the vegetable gardens, orchards for fruit picking, animal enclosures where you can feed farm animals, and the organic farming areas. The farm’s restaurant offering fresh local produce is also worth visiting.
Guided tours are available in Mandarin. Audio guides may be available during peak seasons, but their availability in English is not guaranteed. It's best to check with the farm ahead of time for English-speaking tour options.
