Go at your own pace
See how to take part →Check the provider's accepted documents, phone requirements and service language before paying.
Check booking conditions →West Lake, canals, tea landscapes and major museums support a slow city stay with one dedicated outer-area excursion.
Base the first days around West Lake and the old city. Liangzhu is a separate northern excursion; Qiandao Lake is well beyond the urban core and deserves a full day or overnight. Metro access does not eliminate the last-mile walk within large landscapes.
The five-day route groups nearby visits and protects long excursions from museum-heavy city days. Check current transport times when setting your own pace. Confirm the station, exit, last return connection and original passport requirements when buying rail tickets. Keep a Chinese destination name and address saved offline for the last leg.
Spring and autumn favor walking; summer is hot, humid and rainy. Lake views and hill trails depend on visibility and weather. Check the forecast before outdoor days and swap them with a confirmed indoor booking when needed. Avoid scheduling two distant districts merely because both are inside the same municipal boundary.
Check what your ticket includes before booking. Museums, boats, performances and other attractions within a larger scenic area may have separate tickets, opening hours and reservation rules. Use the individual visit guides for details, and contact the venue if the hours or booking arrangements you need are not listed.
Carry the original passport used for reservations and keep confirmation credentials offline. If an official form does not offer a passport field, establish the assisted channel directly with the venue before leaving your hotel; a foreign card or overseas phone number should not be assumed to work in every mini-program. Have a second payment method and some renminbi cash for small purchases, and ask the hotel to help with a Chinese phone call if necessary.
