Question 2

Is Hangzhou walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Hangzhou is very walkable around West Lake and Hefang Street, where paths link spots like Su Causeway, Leifeng Pagoda, and Wushan Square. Sights such as Lingyin Temple and the tea villages sit farther out.

Take Hangzhou Metro Line 1 to Longxiangqiao or Ding’an Road for West Lake, and Line 2 to Fengqi Road; buses 7/K7 and tourist bus Y2 reach Lingyin Temple. For a relaxed pace or day trips to tea fields and canals, consider a private tour in Hangzhou with private transportation.
