🌟🌟🌟 Hangzhou is more than just the West Lake. If you're visiting Hangzhou, don't limit yourself to the crowded West Lake. This old street is also worth a visit. It is the perfect way to experience the authentic life of old Hangzhou✅. · These are the old houses preserved along the canal, where many of the older generation of Hangzhou residents still live. Many have transformed their homes into unique little shops, including restaurants, cafes, craft stores, general stores, and tea rooms. It's artistic and healing❤️, a place that fairies would love🧚‍♀️. Tired of the hustle and bustle, slow down your pace here and feel the life of old Hangzhou. Stroking cats in the alley, sitting idly, taking photos, each is a reason for you to visit. Bookmark this to remind yourself to check it out🤟. · 📍Xiaohe Straight Street Historical and Cultural Block 🧭Gongshu District, Hangzhou, Xiaohe Straight Street 🚗A taxi can take you directly to "Hanyan Coffee" 🚇10 minutes walk from Beida Bridge Station (Exit D) on Metro Line 10 🚌Bus 333 - Xiaohe Straight Street Station; 76 - Changzheng Bridge Station; K155 - Beida Bridge Station; 151 - Dumb Lane Station 🕐Open all day 🎫Free admission · 📌Travel Tips: ❶There are many tourists in summer, which is the same all over the country. If you want a more comfortable visit, it's recommended to go early in the morning, and you don't have to worry about your photos being photobombed. I arrived at 8:30 on a weekend morning and practically had the whole street to myself🤭. ❷Xiaohe Straight Street has a unique charm at night. If you like the atmosphere when the lights first come on, you can come in the evening when it's almost dark, but there are a lot of people‼️Don't ask me how I know🫠. ❸Xiaohe Straight Street is not big, walking around and taking photos for 1-2 hours is enough. It's recommended to visit it along with other less-known old streets by the canal. 🚩Recommended one-day slow tour route: Xiaohe Straight Street → Qiaoxi Historical Block → Gongchen Bridge → Xiangji Temple → Dadou Road Historical Block · 🏨About accommodation: This time in Hangzhou, I stayed at the "Hangzhou Nade Family Hotel". It's only a 15-minute drive from Xiaohe Straight Street and West Lake. The hotel is adjacent to Hangzhou Tower, and it's only a 9-minute walk to Wulin Square and Wulinmen Metro Station. The transportation is very convenient👍. I stayed in the "Lake View King Room", where you can enjoy the beautiful view of West Lake from the room. It's 600+ per night on weekends, which is really good value for money. I must also praise their catering, afternoon tea, buffet dinner, and Chinese food are all very nice, especially the buffet dinner, with unlimited seafood, fresh durian, and a variety of beautiful and delicious desserts. As a foodie, I really gain three pounds every weekend😭.
