★★★★★3 months agoI like this area, the vibe is pretty nice, but I suggest to go during the week so it won't be that crowded!

★★★★★2 months agoSchreiben Dieser Historical Block in Hangzhou war für mich wirklich ein Ort, der die Seele streichelt. Wunderschöne kleine Häuser, viele liebevoll gestaltete Geschäfte, gemütliche Teehäuser und das alles direkt am Wasser – die Atmosphäre hier ist einfach etwas Besonderes. Es fühlt sich nicht wie eine typische „Ancient City“ an, sondern viel lebendiger und authentischer. Ich habe am Wasser gesessen, Tee getrunken und einfach die Stimmung genossen. Gerade diese Ruhe kombiniert mit dem sanften Trubel der kleinen Gassen macht den Ort unglaublich charmant. Für mich definitiv einer der schönsten Orte in Hangzhou und ein Platz, an den ich jederzeit zurückkehren würde.
