Lingdai Line

Hike along the ancient Ling Dai Trail to witness Hangzhou's most untouched landscapes. Terraced tea fields roll like emerald waves, with Longjing tea leaves' fragrance lingering in bamboo baskets carried by local pickers. At every turn, the Qiantang River unfolds like a silver ribbon beneath your feet. Those moss-covered stone steps? They once inspired Song Dynasty poets. Pause at a cliffside tea house - sip freshly brewed Mingqian tea from rustic clay cups, and you'll instantly understand why these leaves were once reserved for emperors.
