Overview
Hello, my name is Fancy.
In Hangzhou, I will not only show you the famous landmarks, but also help you experience the city’s deeper culture — its stories, lifestyle, and spirit.
I hope this journey will help you truly understand Hangzhou, not just see it.
Discover the story-filled, slow-paced side of Hangzhou’s Grand Canal, where history lives quietly along the water. This is not a heavy history tour — but it’s more than just a walk. It’s a relaxed way to understand how people lived, traded, believed, and still enjoy life by the canal today.
On this walk, you will:
• Stroll through Xiaohe Straight Street, a charming riverside street with traditional houses, cafés, and local shops
• Hear easy, engaging stories about the Grand Canal — why it was built and why it mattered to everyday people
• Visit Gongchen Bridge, a symbol of old Hangzhou and canal life
• Stop by Zhang Daxian Temple and learn a simple, touching local story about kindness and gratitude
• See how old traditions and modern life blend naturally along the water
The tour is available in three languages:
English · Español · 中文
Stories are shared in a clear, friendly way — no lectures, just context and conversation.
