Things to do in Xiaoshan International Airport
Hangzhou is one of China's most beautiful and culturally refined cities, capital of Zhejiang Province and home to the UNESCO-listed West Lake — a serene landscape of willow-lined causeways, pagodas, and mist-draped hills that has inspired Chinese art and poetry for over a thousand years. The Lingyin Temple, one of China's wealthiest and most visited Buddhist monasteries, sits in forested hills above the lake. Hangzhou's thriving tech economy (Alibaba is based here) gives it a lively modern food and coffee scene to complement its classical heritage. Longjing dragon well tea is the local specialty.

- West Lake's northern shore and the Su and Bai causeways are best on foot or by rented bicycle — bikes can be hired throughout the lakefront area.
- Lingyin Temple (with its hillside cliff carvings at Feilai Peak) requires 2–3 hours — entry covers both sites.
