✨Some Hangzhou Eats✨
Only went for a 2d1n in Hangzhou so its not much places we went to!! Some of the notable eats are here~ the must go to green tea restaurant, pastry shop zhiweiguan and also the bawangchaji which has the longjingtea (i think it is limited to hangzhou branches only iirc). All these places have multiple branches across hangzhou so you can search it up on Amaps!! Hangzhou
During my quick 2-day trip to Hangzhou, exploring the city's food scene was a highlight. One thing I noticed is how deeply tea culture is embedded into local dining experiences—not just as a drink, but as an inspiration for entire menus and atmospheres. Green tea restaurants like the ones mentioned stand out for their unique fusion of traditional flavors with modern presentations. Zhiweiguan, for example, isn't only about pastries but offers a range of savory snacks that reflect Zhejiang cuisine's subtle but rich taste profiles. Visiting Bawangchaji introduced me to Longjing tea in a new way – it's more than just a beverage here; the tea features in desserts and even in tea-based cocktails. What I found especially helpful is that all these places have multiple branches, making it easy to drop by whenever you’re in the city. Using apps like Amaps helps locate the nearest branch quickly. For anyone interested in Chinese tea culture or regional foods, Hangzhou offers a compact but rich culinary journey. Even with limited time, focusing on spots known for integrating local tea traditions and classic pastries made my experience unforgettable. It's also nice how these venues blend bustling city vibes with cozy, inviting settings perfect for relaxing with friends or family.
