Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province and one of the seven ancient capitals of China. It was described by Italian traveler Marco Polo as the finest and most luxurious city in the world. The West Lake scenic area contains over 60 cultural relic sites and several attractions of natural beauty, and a cruise on the lake is a good option to view several sites. Hangzhou is also a good place to visit a tea plantation.

While in Hangzhou, we were treated to a very informative and interesting visit to the Tea Plantation at the National Tea Museum. We were able to view every stage off the tea growing and processing, preparing and consuming process. We saw the tea bushes growing in their orderly rows, covering the hillsides and mountains; and then up close where we were able to pick our own little tealet sprigs after our guide explained what we were looking for while picking the tiny new shoots. Inside, we were able to view the processing operation and then at large table around the demo room, we were instructed in the proper way to prepare and consume green tea.For someone, who had previously only dunked a tea bag (floor sweepings!) into boiling water, it was very informative and interesting. Leave some time in your visit to see the tea plantation.

There are a few of those active pharmacies of traditional Chinese medicine, each interesting and different in its own way, That one is special because of the very informative museum it has (with lots of English explanations and a few English tours a day) and also because of the amazing 19th century Qing dynasty immense building that houses the place. You can talk to the doctors/pharmacists, and watch them preparing the various medicines. It is an informative and special museum we have not seen anywhere else in Asia. The presentation of the various herbs, flowers, minerals and animals used in TCM is well presented and fascinating. Worth at least 2 hours of your time.
