5 days / one flexible framework
West Lake, canals, tea landscapes and major museums support a slow city stay with one dedicated outer-area excursion.
Use these days as a starting point and adjust the pace to suit you. Check the linked attraction guides for reservations and closures, and allow a full day for longer outings. Confirm weather and tickets before setting off.
Choose one route for each day with alternatives below. Only its listed stops are imported. Optional stops stay in the guide, and opening days still need checking for your dates.
Choose your pace
Choose which visits to shorten or replace. Check the experience’s address and conditions, and arrange meals, shows or workshops separately. The booking planner saves the listed attraction visits.
Use day 3 as a choice between western landscape visits. A museum and tasting should replace another major stop; Longwu Tea Town is a separate area, not the Longjing museum campus.

These are alternatives to consider, not extra stops to add to the same day. Check locations and transfer times before replacing an itinerary stop; a distant excursion may need a full day.
