Traveler reviews
Juejan Tangtermthong
★★★★★4 months agoI stubbled upon this old alleyway in a morning run, so no photos. Authentic vibes, rows of wooden houses along the quiet canal was one of my highlights in Hangzhou.
Ana Ferraz
★★★★★5 years agoI found this place completely by chance and was pleasantly surprised. It's a very beautiful river with lots of cute places around. A great place to just walk around and explore, drink some coffee and relax.
