Outdoor Activities in Eastern China

Just south of Hangzhou's famous West Lake, Longjing village produces dragonwell tea, one of the finest green teas in China. Enjoy a 6-hour tour that takes you to Longjing where you learn all about this celebrated tea. Your knowledgeable guide takes you to see the China National Tea Museum, Eighteen Imperial Tea Bushes, Meijiawu Tea Village and Hupao Spring, each place revealing another aspect of this fine tea. You'll also cruise on UNESCO World Heritage-listed West Lake, and purchase lunch at a restaurant run by tea farmers.

Scale the peak of one of China's sacred mountains on this small-group full-day trek to Hua Shan. Ride the cable car to the North Peak, then choose from one of three different hiking trails, stopping along the way to soak up the scenery and tuck into a packed lunch (included). Embark on a moderate hike to the East Peak or West Peak, or challenge yourself to scale the South Peak, the mountain's highest point.
