Half-day escape into Hangzhou's most peaceful corner. Morning pickup, then drive to Yunxi Bamboo Trail (Yunxi Zhujing) — a 1.5km path through a dense, century-old bamboo grove that stays 5°C cooler than the city even in summer. Walk past three trickling streams and listen to nothing but bamboo creaking in the wind. Continue 15 minutes to Meijiawu, the original Longjing (Dragon Well) green tea village, for a guided tea-leaf picking session at a family farm (April-October), a tea-frying demonstration in a wood-fired wok, and a 6-cup tasting flight covering Mingqian, Yuqian, and standard Longjing grades. Light tea-snack lunch.
