This curated morning walk takes you through the city’s last remaining traditional street markets, winding historic alleys beneath the ancient city walls, and legendary local eateries. From sizzling crispy pan-fried dumplings to the ultimate wok-heired local noodles, this is a deep dive into the flavors, history, and daily rhythms that make Hangzhou unforgettable.

Meeting Point

Gulou (Landmark)

Damalong Morning Market

We begin our morning where the city wakes up. Damalong is a bustling, narrow alleyway packed with local vendors, fresh seasonal produce, river seafood, and traditional cured meats hanging from balconies. It’s a living museum of Hangzhou’s everyday culture.

10:00 AM

Shiwukui Alley

From the market, we slip into a narrow, stone-paved lane lined with whitewashed walls and dark-tiled roofs, where local retirees buy groceries and schoolchildren run past tucked-away eateries. This is where real Hangzhou life happens. We will stop at three hidden culinary gems, all recognized as Michelin Selected eateries for their dedication to authentic craftsmanship.

Ending Point

Qinghefang Street

About Tour Guide Scarlett H.

Hi there! I’m Scarlett, a licensed English-speaking guide based in Hangzhou and covering the gorgeous Shanghai-Jiangsu-Zhejiang region.


My friends often call me a bit of a story-collector. Having graduated from Cambridge with a degree in sociology, I love going beyond the standard postcard views to help you understand the real, living pulse of China (e.g. local stories, hidden details, and quirky histories most tourists walk right past). Everything I do is entirely customized around your vibe. Whether you’re dreaming of a zen day sipping tea in mist-shrouded valleys, hunting down the best under-the-radar street eats, or chasing futuristic, cyberpunk cityscapes for that perfect shot, we can design it from scratch.


We can easily explore on foot, but if you want to travel in total comfort and style, I also offer car tours with my own very cozy private wheels, perfect for escaping the summer heat or zipping between hidden spots. Oh, and you can leave the camera duty to me! I have a real passion for photography and a sharp eye for lighting and angles, so I’ll make sure you go home with a camera roll full of stunning memories.


Whether you're here for a quick weekend or a deep-dive adventure, just drop me a message and let's craft your perfect trip!
