Product Info

Begin your day trip with a high-speed rail journey from Shanghai to Matcha Lake. Upon arrival, admire the lake’s vibrant green waters and capture photos of this viral sensation.

Next, head to Hangzhou’s West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Renowned for its classical Chinese aesthetics, West Lake is a masterpiece of natural beauty and cultural significance. Stroll along the lake’s scenic pathways, taking in views of the two pagodas mirrored in the water and the three causeways spanning the emerald waves.

As you explore, your guide will share stories and historical insights, bringing the landscape to life. Every corner of this landscape is imbued with poetic allusions and historical lore—even the willow leaves rustling in the breeze seem to carry ripples of a thousand-year cultural legacy.

After a day of exploration, return to Shanghai by high-speed rail, arriving in the evening.

We also provide another package (Only Matcha Lake):The Matcha Lake Self-Guided Tour is designed for those seeking social-media-worthy photos and great value. This is a pure spot for capturing stunning content – no guide needed. (The guide will meet you at Shanghai Railway Station and accompany you through the train security check.) Enjoy flexible timing and a budget-friendly way to immerse yourself in this green wonderland.
(For in-depth historical context and a full West Lake experience, check out our "Matcha Lake & West Lake Day Tour" package.)
