Search Hangzhou Flights

Hangzhou may be just an hour south of Shanghai, but it has its own things going on, like some of China’s oldest temples, rolling hillsides and tea. Heaps of tea! It even has an ancient proverb: “Paradise in heaven; Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth”. You can’t argue with thousand-year-old Chinese wisdom, so get your bum on one Wotif’s flights to Hangzhou and live it instead.

Getting Around Hangzhou

Hangzhou International Airport (HGH) is 30km from the city centre, but it may be just as easy to fly into Shanghai Airport (PVG) and catch the train, which takes just under an hour. While you’re at it, check out Shanghai holidays and stay awhile! Once you’re settled in Hangzhou, getting around by bus and taxi is easy.

When You Land…

Early arrivals are in for a treat: The golden statues in the sprawling Lingyin Temple seem to glow in morning light.

In the afternoon, drop your stuff at your Hangzhou accommodation and head to Hefang Street for a taste of Old China (and in China, old means old—some stores have been open more than a century!). Sip a cup of longjing tea, then get shopping! There are stores for fans, ceramics and even just for scissors; finally, something for the scissor-lover on your list.

For those on Hangzhou flights landing at night, there’s just one place to see and be seen: the Grand Theatre. You can thank us later.

Live Like a Local

Hangzhou isn’t called the “Capital of Tea” for nothing; it has hundreds of tea houses. Enjoy green tea with lake and mountain views in Shangcheng district or get a little more daring with a dark, fermented version on Shuguang Road in Xihu district. As long as there’s tea involved, you’re living like a local.
