Activity itinerary

Day 1: Leifeng Pagoda-Su Causeway-West Lake-Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor-Feilai Peak
  • 5 stops
  • Meals: lunch
  • Accommodation: Not included
Leifeng Pagoda
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Your trip starts with a pickup at your Hangzhou city centre hotel or Hangzhou train station. Then count on our comfortable vehicle with licensed driver who will help you with your luggage and take you to the first attraction-Leifeng Pagoda, which was an octagonal, five-storeyed structure built of brick and wood. The body of the pagoda was made of brick, but the eaves, balconies, inside landings and balustrades were made of wood. Stones with the Huayan Scriptures inscribed on them were inlaid on the inner walls of the pagoda. There used to be sixteen sculptures of vajra arhats at the foot of the pagoda, but they were later moved to Jingci Temple. The pagoda became a household name in China thanks to the popular folk tale, "The Legend of the White Snake", a touching love storey about a girl who changed into a snake and a young man. The storey has been repeatedly adapted for traditional operas and also for modern films and TV series.

In the afternoon, you’ll transfer to visit adjacent Feilai Peak, about 3 km west away from the West Lake. It's also known as Peak Flying from Afar, which flew to China to spread Buddhism from India according to the legend. It features in uncountable Buddhist carvings lining the riverbanks and hillsides and tucked away inside grottoes. Being 168 metres tall, Peak Flown From Afar (Feilai Peak) is composed of limestones and is home to various fantastic caves owing to the long-term ground water solution, including Longhong Cave, Jade Breast (Yuru) Cave, Shooting Sun (Shexu) Cave and Roaring Ape (Huyuan) Cave. The grotesque rocks of the caves are of various shapes, and some are like flying dragons, some like running elephants, some like frightened apes and some like crouching tigers.

Under the shade of ancient trees, the grass is green, the brook is murmuring, several birds are singing, and summer cicadas are rising and falling. Ancient and simple dwellings are perfectly combined with modern craftsmanship after being renovated by designers. Ancient villages are far away from annoyance, quiet and simple, just like places out of the world.

Your final stop is Hefang Street which is the most famous and the only well-preserved ancient street in Hangzhou. It represents the old storey and showcases the folk culture of Hangzhou.
