Halvdag Hangzhou Yunxi Bamboo Forest and Tea Plantation Experience

We had a fantastic morning exploring the bamboo forest and Longjing Tea Village near Hangzhou. The scenery was beautiful, peaceful, and offered a great insight into the region’s culture and natural beauty. A special mention goes to our guide, Buyi, who was outstanding and deserves 5 stars himself. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area, tea cultivation, local traditions, and the bamboo forests. His English was excellent, making everything easy to understand and allowing us to ask plenty of questions throughout the tour. The tea experience was a highlight, giving us the opportunity to learn about Longjing tea directly from the source and appreciate the craftsmanship behind it. Walking through the bamboo forest was equally memorable and provided a perfect contrast to the bustling cities. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hangzhou, especially if you’re interested in nature, culture, and authentic local experiences. Thank you, Buyi, for making it such an enjoyable and informative day!

Dear Alana, thank you very much. Today we had very nice trip. Jane is very good guide. Her knowledge is very deep and English is very clear. We had very nice walk in Dragon Well tee plantation area! Bamboo forest was also beautiful! The car was very fresh and the car manager was very professional! Thanks a lot! Nice to have a chance to have travels with your company once again.

This tour was very professionally run - the operator contacted me the night before to confirm details (in fluent English), and our guide WenWen was there right on time to greet us. She was a super-nice lady and we really enjoyed the time we spent with her touring the bamboo forest and the tea plantation. She had a great deal of knowledge on the tour items and Hangzhou itself. The driver was great too, drove like a chauffeur, which we loved. I highly recommend this tour...

After last year’s visit, I came back with my family and saw the beautiful and lush bamboo forest and teplantage that lies in a very beautiful hilly landscape. The tea ceremony offered tasting and good professional knowledge. We had a skilled and dedicated guide Minna, who in spite of the great busy because of the Chinese holiday got made a really good trip for us. We ended up at a good restaurant that she had chosen.

Enjoyed my tour with Lin very much. She was knowledgeable and friendly about the area, local culture.

The service was impeccable. I appreciated how knowledgeable Wenwen is in Hangzhou history and was very nice to me throughout the trip. The driver service was great too. Offered to drop me off anywhere and was able to handle the traffic well. Definitely would recommend them to your future customers.

This was one of the best guides we ever had! Mr Pan aka Tony and Alana helped us design the perfect itinerary for our trip. We kindly asked them to include a visit to the West Lake and the Lingyin Temple and they helped us arrange the day so that we also visited the bamboo forest and went for tea and the tea fields before kindly dropping us off at the train station and also making sure we found the gate and we boarded. Tony is extremely considerate and adapted the entire trip to fit my mom’s needs who had a sore leg. His expertise is impressive and he shared a wealth of knowledge about the region, each of the attractions we visited and also more generic about China. His personality is pleasant and open with loads of great references to the modern world included in his descriptions as well as great funny stories. We are so grateful for having had Tony as our guide as he made our day. Many thanks Tony for the great day and please also pass our regards and thanks to our amazing driver who was patience and always on time as well as very considerate when it came to my parents. Additionally many thanks to Alana who helped us build the perfect itinerary.

A group of adult family travelers (including an elderly but mobile parent) wanted a low stress easy pace half day tour where we could just sit back, relax, and take things easy while soaking up Hangzhou’s natural sights. The itinerary was well paced, we were picked up from our hotel in a swanky Chinese EV (the future of transportation!) at 9am towards our first stop at the Bamboo Forest. Our guide,Tony, who was warm and knowledgeable, gave us a good overview of facts of the region. Even though it was drizzling, the experience was still lovely; we could take multiple walking stops to recharge, take photos, or just savour the glorious old trees in the bamboo forest. Post forest, we visited a tea farmers house and plantation. Authentic, and beyond the shine of the new skyscrapers or government road scapes, the hostess was warm. The climb required a little more effort for certain folks, but the view was dreamy like from a Chinese Xian Xia drama. We had to purchase our tea (just think that these are high quality tea- and if you are a coffee drinker think Fair Trade Single Origin Arabica) . Post tea plantation, a gorgeous and delicious restaurant for lunch. We had some dietary requirements but all were Comfortably accommodated. Would totally book with this tour operator again.

We did the afternoon tour with dinner. It was very convenient to be picked up at our hotel and Tina was waiting for us a little before the pickup time. First we went to the bamboo forest and walked around and saw the very old trees. The car ride wasn’t too long and Tina shared a lot of fun facts about the area with us on the way. The second half of the tour at the tea farm was also very beautiful and we enjoyed trying the tea at dinner. I would highly recommend!

Our tour with Rebecca was absolutely amazing! The service of Rebecca and driver was more than good, it was just perfect. Rebecca is a lovely and nice person. She has so much knowledge about chinese culture and history. We learned a lot, enjoyed the tour and the very good and tasty lunch and always felt safe while driving. All in all it was a really great trip!
