Meal: Your journey begins in the famous Longjing Tea Village, the birthplace of China's legendary Dragon Well tea. Surrounded by rolling emerald-green tea plantations, this charming village offers a perfect introduction to Hangzhou's centuries-old tea heritage.
One of the highlights here is the historic “18 Imperial Tea Trees” (十八棵御茶树), a symbol deeply connected to Longjing tea culture and imperial history. According to local legend, the Qianlong Emperor personally visited this area during the Qing Dynasty and was so impressed by the tea that he granted these tea bushes imperial status. Today, the ancient tea trees remain one of the most iconic cultural landmarks in the Longjing tea plantation area. Enjoy a relaxing free walking tour experience through the tea fields while your guide shares fascinating stories about Longjing tea history, tea grading, harvesting seasons, and traditional roasting techniques.
Continue your adventure with the scenic Shili Langdang Hiking Trail, one of the most beautiful and lesser-known countryside walking routes in Hangzhou. This peaceful trail winds through endless tea plantations, bamboo groves, mountain paths, and hidden rural landscapes, making it a highlight of any Hangzhou Tea Plantation Hiking Tour Experience.
Along the way, enjoy panoramic views over the tea valleys and experience the tranquil atmosphere far away from the tourist crowds. The gentle hiking route is suitable for most travelers and provides countless photo opportunities throughout the journey.
The combination of tea terraces, forest paths, and fresh mountain air creates an unforgettable outdoor experience for nature lovers and cultural explorers alike.
After the hike, arrive at the peaceful Meijiawu Tea Culture Village, one of the most famous tea-producing villages in Hangzhou.
Here, enjoy a traditional farmhouse-style lunch (Nongjiale experience) prepared by local villagers. Fresh seasonal vegetables, bamboo shoots, free-range chicken, local river fish, and homemade countryside dishes offer a true taste of rural Zhejiang cuisine.
Dining among tea mountains provides a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere and allows you to slow down and fully appreciate the local lifestyle.
In the afternoon, step into a local tea house for an immersive tea culture experience. Learn how freshly harvested tea leaves are processed, pan-roasted, and brewed using traditional methods passed down through generations.
Sit down with locals to enjoy a peaceful tea tasting session while learning how to properly appreciate authentic Longjing tea — from aroma and color to flavor and tea leaf quality.
This relaxing cultural experience offers visitors a deeper understanding of everyday life in Hangzhou's tea countryside and creates meaningful connections beyond a typical sightseeing tour. Spend the remainder of the afternoon enjoying leisurely moments among the tea plantations before returning to downtown Hangzhou.
After the tour concludes, your private guide and driver will comfortably escort you back to your hotel, railway station, airport, or any preferred drop-off location.
