Frequently Asked Questions

Can we be picked up from Shanghai?

Yes, but it adds 2.5 hours each way. We recommend taking the high-speed train (45 min) to Hangzhou and being picked up at the station for a more relaxed day.

What is the best time to visit West Lake?

Spring (March-May) for peach blossoms and willows, autumn (October-November) for fall colors. Summer can be hot but the lotus flowers are beautiful.

Is West Lake crowded?

Weekends and Chinese holidays are very crowded. Weekday mornings are the best time for a peaceful experience.
