We entered the China National Tea Museum as the scent of roasted leaves and fresh mountain air welcomed us in light, earthy, and comforting 🌿🍵🏛️. Nestled in the quiet hills of Longjing, the museum felt more like a garden than a gallery, with winding paths, bamboo groves, and traditional architecture that seemed to flow with the landscape. Inside, the story of tea unfolded gently, through ancient teapots, handwritten scrolls, and displays showing how a single leaf could carry centuries of culture, ceremony, and connection. In quiet pavilions, visitors sat sipping samples of green, black, oolong, and pu’er, each cup a world of its own delicate, deep, or bright with bitterness 🫖📜🪷. Through open windows, we could see the rolling tea fields beyond, where farmers still plucked leaves by hand as they had for generations. The museum wasn’t loud or grand it was calm and steeped in care. A place where history brewed slowly, and every sip reminded us to slow down, breathe deeply, and taste the beauty of the present moment 🕊️🌱🍂. #chinatravel #myitinerary #travel

"Notes on a tour along the Grand Canal in late spring: I felt the wrinkles of time beside the Gongchen Bridge in Hangzhou" (Subtitle: In-depth guide to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum | Small secrets beside the thousand-year-old waterway, fireworks and gourmet food, and hidden hiking routes) ------ [Personal feelings: A dialogue with the Millennium Canal] In mid-April in Hangzhou, the air is filled with willow catkins and the fragrance of tea. Standing on the bluestone steps of Gongchen Bridge, you can see the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which has been flowing for 2,500 years. The river water has the warm luster unique to late spring, as if it can illuminate the canal boats of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the merchants of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The China Grand Canal Museum is hidden on the north side of this stone bridge, like an open ancient book, waiting for visitors to measure its chapters with their footsteps. When you enter the museum, the most shocking thing is the 30-meter-long relief wall - "The Epic of Canal Digging". The postures of the craftsmen chiseling the mountain to divert water are solidified into bronze silhouettes. When the fingertips run across the uneven lines, one can actually feel the vibration of the stone chiseling and the breathing of the trackers. In the "Canal Technology" exhibition hall, I stared at the replica model of a Song Dynasty sluice dam: the wisdom of the ancients could turn a bucket of water into an artery connecting the north and the south. The most surprising thing is the "Canal Soundscape" in the museum. Put on headphones, and you can hear the sounds of flowing water, boatmen's songs, and the hustle and bustle of the market. Close your eyes and you will feel as if you are at the dock of Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty, and even your breath can be smelled with the moist river breeze. ------ [Exclusive guide on the entire network: Canal time from morning to dusk] 📍 Core coordinates: China Grand Canal Museum • Address: No. 1, Yunhe Cultural Plaza, Gongshu District, Hangzhou • Transportation: Metro Line 5, Gongchenqiao East Station, Exit B, walk for 10 minutes; or take the water bus Line 1 to Gongchenqiao Pier (highly recommended! 8 yuan boat ticket to see the morning mist on the canal) • Opening hours: 9:00-16:30 (closed on Mondays, free admission, reservations must be made in advance through the official account) • Hidden gameplay: • Check in during the morning mist: Climb the Gongchen Bridge before 7am. The canal in the mist looks like a long scroll of ink painting. Photographers must grab a spot! • Live experience: In the handicraft live museum on the north side of the museum, you can make oil-paper umbrellas and woodblock printing by yourself (50-100 yuan per person). 🚶♀️ Hiking route: Qiaoxi Historical and Cultural District → Museum → Canal World (3 km highlight section) 1. Qiaoxi Old Street: Zhang Xiaoquan Scissors Museum and Fang Huichuntang are hidden among the blue bricks and black tiles. The licorice aroma of the old pharmacy is mixed with the burnt aroma of scallion-wrapped cypress on the street corner. 2. Canal Greenway: Starting from the back door of the museum, walk along the east bank of the canal, passing the "Fuyi Granary" ruins (a literary and artistic space converted from a Qing Dynasty granary). 3. The end point of the canal: a cluster of cafes converted from old factories. We recommend the terrace of "Yunnan Ying". Order a cup of Longjing Latte (38 yuan) and overlook the cargo ships slowly passing by. 🍜 Food Radar: List of "local food" along the canal • Breakfast: "Youbu Soy Milk" on Qiaoxi Street (salty soy milk + scallion oil noodles, 10 yuan for a full meal) • Lunch: Canal Plaza "Yuanzi Restaurant" (Hangzhou cuisine, recommended drunken swamp shrimp + spring water beef, 80 yuan per person) • Afternoon tea: "Xiaofeng Book House" Canal Store (bookish atmosphere + osmanthus wine cake, window seats need to be reserved early!) • Dinner: Wasabi-ya on Xiaohezhi Street (a mix of Japanese food and the canal night view, salmon belly sashimi is a must) 🏨 Accommodation recommendation: Live in the breath of the canal • "Retreat · Canal Jiangnan": A Song Dynasty-style courtyard with white walls and black eaves. When you open the window of the room, you can see the canal barge, which is perfect for overnight mooring! • Room rates: • Waterfront King Room: 780 yuan/night on weekdays (including breakfast for two) • Courtyard Suite: 1,180 yuan/night (with private hot spring bath) • Qingsu Canal International Youth Hostel: The first choice for backpackers, with beds at 60 yuan per night and stories of boatmen from all over the world on the terrace. ------ [Exclusive Tips: Secret details to avoid crowds] 1. Avoid weekends: There is a canal market every Saturday morning, which is lively but crowded. It is recommended to go on Thursdays and Fridays. 2. Ticket secret: The early morning boat (6:30) of Water Bus Line 1 (Wulin Gate - Gongchen Bridge) is almost empty, occupying the entire river surface! 3. Light and shadow moment: After 3 pm, the hollow wooden windows on the second floor of the museum will filter the sunlight into mottled ripples on the canal, making for beautiful photos. 4. Unpopular Easter egg: In the corner of the "Canal and the Silk Road" exhibition hall in the museum, there is a cargo list of Persian merchants in the Yuan Dynasty. It is a must-see for detail lovers! ------ [Note: Safety rules for living with the canal] • Weather warning: Hangzhou is rainy in April, so be sure to bring waterproof shoes + a folding umbrella (available for rent at the museum entrance) • Hiking equipment: The canal greenway has many cobblestone roads, so wear soft-soled shoes! It is recommended to bring a portable tea set so that you can rest and make tea at the pavilions along the way. • Civilized Convention: Flash photography is prohibited in the museum. Most of the old houses in Qiaoxi Street are residential areas, so please do not disturb others when taking photos. • Tips for avoiding scams: Be cautious when buying freshly cut Longjing tea from Qiaotou. For the authentic tea, we recommend going to the China Tea Museum (Longjing section). ------ Interactive Easter Egg: What is your canal story? “If you had a canal boat that could travel through time and space, which modern item would you most like to carry back to the ancient canal?” Feel free to share your answers in the comment section and give a thumbs up ------ Strategy statement: The routes and prices in this article were updated in April 2025. Please confirm the open information twice before departure. Original Statement: Reproduction of pictures and texts without permission is prohibited, and infringement will be pursued.

After leaving Lingyin Temple, my companion and I headed straight to the Shuangfeng Pavilion of the China National Tea Museum. We were worried about transportation, but luckily, we ran into a private car that was about to leave at the exit. The driver agreed to take us there, and we got in the car after paying the fare. We felt so lucky. When we arrived at the tea museum, we were greeted by a large tea field and the surrounding scenery was like a park. The maple leaves were red, and a small bridge spanned the flowing water. The weather was nice, and we could take good photos with ease. During the visit, we met a TV crew. Judging from their accents, they were from Spain or Italy. The host was explaining the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou. Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, I could feel his enthusiasm. On this day, I was surprised and delighted by the contrast between the bustling Lingyin Temple and the tranquil tea museum.

It is surrounded by bonsai gardens, with a mountain view composed of a group of lake stones in the center, a babbling stream in the center, colorful koi swimming around, and green mountains nearby. It feels like a lifestyle described by Tao Yuanming, "Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, I leisurely see the southern mountain."      Mr. Shi prepared lunch for us early. The vegetables 🥬🥬🥬 were grown in the vegetable garden, and the chicken soup was made with chicken brought from Dongyang, along with dried fish, all delicacies brought by friends from various places. The pickles were made by a Korean friend who came to the villa for vacation.      Outside the small courtyard is a nursery. You can come to enjoy plum blossoms in winter, see the full bloom of spring in spring, escape the heat in summer, and listen to birds and enjoy the tea garden in winter. It is a private club in the Longjing Tea Museum, where you can now brew tea and chat with scholars.

Spring in Hangzhou is not only about cherry blossoms and magnolias, but also the Spirea flowers by the Shuangfeng Pavilion of the Tea Museum. Here, one can not only enjoy the cherry blossoms, but the tea gardens are also a popular spot for visitors, with many celebrities having visited. By the stream, the red-leaf plum, magnolia, and forsythia are blooming lively, but the most eye-catching are the snow-white Spirea flowers, which interweave with other flowers to form a colorful spring scene. Spirea, also known as bridal wreath, is a shrub of the Rosaceae family, 1.5 meters tall, with dense flowers that from a distance look like a tree full of snowflakes. In the Tea Museum, the Spirea flowers reflect with the stream and tea gardens, adding to the freshness. Despite the overcast sky, people are still taking photos to commemorate their visit, and finding a moment alone is indeed not easy.

Although more people choose the Tea Museum's Shuangfeng Pavilion, I still prefer the one on the top of Wengjia Mountain. Climbing to the tea altar, you can look eastward to West Lake and westward to the tea gardens, feeling a greater sense of integration with nature. Closed on Mondays! ❤Recommended Reason: The Longjing Pavilion is on the mountain, less well-known compared to the Shuangfeng Pavilion. In fact, its beauty is worth 'exclaiming over three times'. ❤Recommended Reason: The predecessor was the Longjing Mountain Garden, with an architectural style more akin to the gardens of the Jiangnan region, featuring long stone paths and winding corridors, offering a new view at every step. 🌟Highlight Features: The two pavilions are 2.5 kilometers apart, not too far a distance. If you're willing to take a leisurely walk, it's quite suitable. During the walk, we can also get close to nature, so why not enjoy it?
