Caiguan Alley

Step into Caiguan Alley and be transported to old Hangzhou! This hidden lane dazzles with weathered grey-brick houses draped in ivy, where artisans' workshops spill onto flagstone paths. Don't miss bargaining for handmade treasures, or sipping tea while eavesdropping on locals' lively Wu-dialect chatter. The real gem? A 30-year-old stall serving crispy scallion pancakes - that golden-brown crunch is pure Hangzhou soul food!
