Golden card

We all know, China is famous for its tea 🍵; what if I say I had an opportunity to taste the best of them. A 40 minutes drive from Hangzhou station to the outskirts of the city take you to Longjing village. We actually were doing 🥾 hiking there but the overall experience turned out to be knowing the greatness of tea in there. The Longjing tea or the dragon well tea (龙井茶)is the best green tea 💚 in China. We started at the National tea museum spend only very less time there, then moved on to our hiking path shililangdang (十里琅珰) . On the way, you can get immersed in the amazing fragrance💆 and definitely more amazing places with the view. They even call this tea as the Golden card of Hangzhou due to the fertility of the mountains 🏞️. It's quite a 3 hour hike in a relaxed way !! Definitely a go to place in Hangzhou. #hikefreak #hangzhoutravel #teafields #summervacation#hikingtrails

If you love drinking tea as much as I do, and want to learn more about local tea culture, April is a great month to visit Hangzhou. We paid a visit to the Longjing Tea Fields, which makes for a great day tour out of the city center of Hangzhou. The village itself was only a 5-10 minute walk from the Imperial Library, where local vendors could be seen sitting outdoors with their metal pans drying freshly picked green tea. The smell emitting these pans and local shops was unbelievable – a delicate and sweet fragrance that reminded us of everything matcha we had ever eaten. The ridge of the hills themselves are said to represent that of the dragon which the area takes its name from, extending from head to tail and curling around the plantation we were in! N.B. If travelling to Hangzhou during a weekend, be sure to allow some extra travel time to get to Longjing Village! On a good day, this trip is usually around 30-40 minutes by taxi, or an hour by bus. Arriving on a Sunday though, around 11am, we ended up being stuck in traffic for over 1.5 hours while trying to get to Longjing Village in a taxi (due to the area around the West Lake being highly congested). #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel
