(Includes Breakfast)

Today we enjoy a relaxing walk along the tranquil West Lake before visiting Ling Yin Temple. Don't forget to make a wish there as it is believed that they often become true. 

Afterwards we visit local markets and experience the traditional Chinese tea culture.

Optional West Lake evening show - (Highly recommended).

(Includes Breakfast)

After breakfast, we travel to Xitang, a historic water town about 1.5 hours drive from Hangzhou. Xitang is a real microcosm of ancient Chinese architecture and is often used as a film set, including for Mission Impossible III. Therefore it is a must see place that can't be replaced by any other water town in the region.

The charming town is criss-crossed by nine rivers linked with a series of stone arched bridges. With over a thousand years of history, boat remains the main mode of transport and the original way of life still continues today. We enjoy a leisurely walk around the town's narrow streets and take a relaxing boat ride whilst soaking up the local ambience. 

Drive back to Shanghai in the late afternoon.
