Forget the crowded West Lake promenades, this is the Hangzhou that locals keep for themselves. This trail is a magical half-day hike that leads you through three breathtakingly beautiful green spaces, each with its own unique personality.

02:00 PM

Meeting Point

Wushan Square Station

02:40 PM

Jiyi Pavilion

We begin our hike by climbing the winding stone steps of Mount Wu. As the city sounds fade away, we enter a canopy of dense, centuries-old trees. Our first key milestone is the Jiyi Pavilion. This tucked-away, traditional wooden pavilion offers a serene resting spot surrounded by lush ferns and bamboo.

03:30 PM

Baishefeidu Bridge

We hike deeper into the ridge to discover one of Mount Wu’s most cinematic and hidden features: the striking jagged rock formations and mossy cliffs. A stunning S-curve 'sky bridge' here is inspired by the legendary love story of Lady White Snake, a Chinese folktale set right here in Hangzhou.

04:30 PM

Liulangwenying Park / Orioles Singing in the Willows

One of the original “Ten Scenes of West Lake,” and the perfect way to end your forest adventure. Named for the thousands of weeping willows that line its gentle pathways and the orioles that fill them with song, this lakefront park is pure poetry. A Song Dynasty-style stone bridge whose shaded archway becomes a dreamlike green portal in the morning light, making it one of Hangzhou‘s most cinematic hidden photo spots.

Ending Point

Cuiguang Pavilion (the best place to capture the sunset over the Leifeng Pagoda)

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!
