Route: Su Dongpo Memorial Hall - Boat Ride on West Lake - Guo Zhuang Garden - Living Crafts Museum

Su Dongpo Memorial Hall
A spot that most visitors to West Lake miss, located on the south side of Su Causeway. Today's activities begin here. Get your itinerary handbook to start your in-depth Hangzhou tour.

Boat Ride on West Lake
Cruise around West Lake with a tour guide providing fascinating commentary. My son was completely captivated by the stories.

Guo Zhuang Garden
You haven't truly experienced Chinese gardens until you've visited Guo Zhuang. This is a rare, well-preserved Suzhou-style garden in Hangzhou. The delicate pavilions and buildings complement the rockeries, ponds, flowers, and trees perfectly. The lotus flowers 🪷 are in full bloom now, making it especially photogenic.

Living Crafts Museum
After leaving Guo Zhuang Garden, we went to the Living Crafts Museum where we made intangible cultural heritage lanterns. It was an absolutely wonderful cultural experience.
