Gulian Street

Step into Gulian Street and be transported to old Hangzhou! This charming alley dazzles with traditional grey-brick houses, where artisans craft oil-paper umbrellas and bamboo weavings before your eyes. The air is laced with Longjing tea aroma and sweet Ding Sheng cakes. Visit at dusk when red lanterns glow – photographers flock here for that perfect shot. Don't miss the century-old teahouse where owners share tales of this former Southern Song Dynasty imperial road over steaming cups of tea.
