Qiaoxi Historical District

Stroll through Qiaoxi Historic Block where century-old canalside buildings whisper tales of old Hangzhou. Creative workshops and intangible heritage displays breathe life into the brick-and-tile alleys. Sip local tea in courtyard cafes, then admire dancing lantern reflections on the Grand Canal at dusk - don't miss the sticky rice cakes and lotus root starch, edible pieces of Hangzhou's soul.
