Step into Old-World Charm on Hangzhou’s Qing He Fang 🏮☕️🧋  
Qing He Fang is your gateway to classic Hangzhou—a pedestrian street bursting with vibrant shops, history, and hidden modern gems. Think scenic walking, street snacks, and unexpected cozy corners perfect for a caffeine break.
Start your adventure at Wushan Square. Stroll down Hefang Lane, soaking up the restored architecture and buzzing crowd. Don’t miss the chance to explore side lanes; they're less touristy and packed with local character. For must-do experiences, try local delicacies like hand-pulled crispy “you tiao” and check out time-honored craft shops. Snap detailed shots of heritage signboards and traditional lanterns; the best Insta-worthy angle is from the steps of Wushan Square, capturing the lane’s lively flow with the old rooftops above.
Keep your eyes peeled for beautiful coffee shops tucked between medicine halls and silk stores—my tip: pop into one with a window seat for people-watching and a breather from the crowds. Ceiling fans, old wooden beams, and latte art make for swoon-worthy photos—especially if you arrive early when sunlight slants through.
Practical tips: Go in the morning for a peaceful stroll; evenings can get congested. Comfortable shoes are a must—the old cobblestones are uneven. Don’t rush, and watch for pickpockets around busy corners. Most shops accept mobile payment but bring a little cash for street treats.
