Hangzhou in March is full of spring.

While the West Lake is crowded with tourists, I prefer hiking in the tea gardens filled with the aroma of tea. The lush green tea trees stretch as far as the eye can see, and the fresh air is filled with a subtle tea fragrance. This scenery is incredibly healing.

The best time to visit is from late March to early April. I recommend starting from the old street of Longwu Tea Town, passing through Longwu Tea Village and the Big Teapot, and finally arriving at Guangming Temple Reservoir. This hiking route allows you to experience tea culture and enjoy the natural scenery. If you are driving, you can navigate directly to Longwu Tea Town. Taking Metro Line 6 to the China Academy of Art Xiangshan Campus Station and then taking a taxi is also very convenient.

For tourists from other cities, you may wish to stay in the tea village for a night. Taking a walk in the tea garden in the early morning and breathing in the fresh, dewy air is a rare treat. Local friends can make a day trip and try the local farmhouse cuisine. This place is not only suitable for hiking, but also for taking photos, cycling, and walking with children. You can also experience the fun of tea picking and tea tasting.

The neat rows of tea trees in the tea garden form beautiful curves, with distant mountains like eyebrows and nearby water like smoke. Every photo you take is a beautiful spring painting. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, experiencing the breath of spring in the fragrance of tea makes for an unforgettable spring outing.
