Travel essentials
Everything you need to prepare for a smooth and worry-free trip to Hangzhou
Pro Tips
- Rent a shared bike to get around West Lake. Walking takes too long. Avoid weekends near Broken Bridge.
- Take the metro. Line 1 covers the train station and West Lake. Taxis get stuck in lakeside traffic.
- Don't eat at the restaurants right on West Lake. Walk one street back. Better food, half the price.
- Visit Lingyin Temple before 8 am. After 9 it's packed with tour groups.
- Skip going inside Leifeng Pagoda. Walk around the base for free. The view from the top isn't worth the crowd.
- Bring mosquito spray in summer. Hangzhou has lots of water. And try dried longan at Hefang Street.
