Lingzhu Road

Stroll along Lingzhu Road, Hangzhou's most zen-like pathway! This ancient pilgrim trail links Lingyin Temple to Upper Tianzhu, where towering trees and terraced tea fields frame your walk. Chanting echoes mingle with Longjing tea aromas, while stone sutra carvings and babbling springs dot the route. Go at dawn to beat the crowds—bamboo groves filter golden light onto mossy steps, and don't miss farmhouse vegan pastries at the trailhead. A soul-refreshing escape from urban chaos.
