For your one-day layover in Hangzhou, here’s where to shop and savor local flavors:
Shopping: Head to Hubin Yintai (adjacent to West Lake, with diverse brands) or the Wulin Commercial District (Home to Hangzhou Tower and in77). For unique souvenirs, visit Hefang Street for oil-paper umbrellas, Longjing tea, and osmanthus cakes.
Food: Don’t miss Louwailou for classics like West Lake Fish in Vinegar Gravy and Dongpo Pork, or Zhiweiguan for fresh meat xiaolongbao and “cat’s ear” noodles. Street food lovers can try Xinfeng Snacks for shrimp wontons.
Supermarket: Century Lianhua (Xihu Cultural Square branch) is ideal for local specialties like marinated duck and lotus root starch.
