Maojiabu– Hangzhou's Rustic Waterfront Escape

#discoverchina Nestled along West Lake’s northwestern shores, Maojiabu is a quiet, countryside-style wetland where wooden boardwalks weave through reeds, stone bridges arch over sleepy canals, and farmhouse teahouses serve fresh Longjing tea. Once a fishing village and a key stop on the ancient "Upper Tianzhu Pilgrimage Route,"it retains an unspoiled, pastoral charm rarely found near urban Hangzhou. Location: West of West Lake, between Yang Gong Causeway and Longjing. - Entry: Free (open 24/7; teahouses charge separately).
