Changmingsi Alley

Step into Changming Temple Lane and be transported to old Hangzhou! This centuries-old alley hidden in the city center boasts well-preserved Jiangnan-style houses with whitewashed walls and carved wooden windows. The traditional tea house at the entrance serves fragrant Longjing tea while locals play chess, creating a living ink painting. Don't miss golden hour – when sunset bathes the crisscrossing shadows on ancient walls, it's a photographer's dream!
