Zhejiang, the epitome of Jiangnan water towns, perfectly blends cultural heritage with natural beauty. This guide covers everything from dining to attractions for a seamless Zhejiang experience! 🌟 Must-Visit Attractions 1. Hangzhou West Lake: A UNESCO World Heritage Site. The new "Smart Crowd Management System" launching in 2025 will display real-time visitor density. Free entry (Leifeng Pagoda 40 RMB, Three Pools Mirroring the Moon boat ticket 55 RMB).

For authentic Longjing tea, look for Lion Peak Mountain anti-fake labels. Prices below 800 RMB/500g may indicate stale tea. 2. Buy Shaoxing rice wine at "Guyue Longshan" Central Cellar flagship stores – avoid unbranded wines in scenic areas. 🚗 Transportation Guide 1.
