West Lake is the poetic heart of Hangzhou and a UNESCO World Heritage landscape — willows, pagodas, causeways and misty waters that have inspired poets for a thousand years. Our private car tour links the lake's best spots, dropping you at each scenic point and waiting while you stroll.
Include a lake boat ride, Leifeng Pagoda and a lakeside tea house. Fixed pricing from $80.
