Destination Introduction

Shili Langyao: China-TravelNote Traditional Route, a classic route southwest of Hangzhou, passing through the famous West Lake Longjing tea area, with a broad view and rich cultural heritage!

Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams: Located in the mountains west of West Lake, a famous scenic spot in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams meander for 7 kilometers from Longjing to the Qiantang River. The waters of the Nine Creeks originate from Yangmeiling and merge with the streams of Qingwan, Hongfa, Fangjia, Foshi, Baizhang, Tangjia, Xiaokang, Yunqi, and Zhutou along the way. They are called the Nine Creeks because they flow through green mountains and valleys and merge with countless small streams.
