Hangzhou | Maojiabu Scenic Area - Hidden place in Hangzhou

Maojiabu is said to be a favorite spot among locals in Hangzhou. The area was historically home to families with the surname Mao, who made their living by picking tea. It has since been developed into a scenic area, while still preserving its natural charm.


It’s lush with greenery and incredibly beautiful. In spring and summer, aquatic plants cover the water’s surface, and on clear days, the green reflections in the water create a peaceful, calming vibe.


Visitors who enjoy boating can take small boats that pass under stone bridges — capturing the essence of Eastern aesthetics and the unique charm of Hangzhou within the natural landscape.


Sitting in a pavilion, chatting with friends and enjoying the breeze, is also a perfect way to relax.
