Itinerary
Hangzhou: Fuyang Bayberry Picking & Ancient Town Day Trip
Discover a quieter, artistic side of the Hangzhou countryside on this fully private, easygoing day trip to Fuyang, the legendary retreat of the master painter Huang Gongwang. Your English-speaking guide and private driver collect you at your hotel and handle the entire day.
Fuyang's hills and rivers inspired one of China's most famous landscape paintings, and today you can enjoy the same gentle scenery in person. Start with a relaxed visit to a local bayberry orchard, where you can pick fresh, sweet seasonal berries straight from the trees, a fun, hands-on experience with no strenuous effort required.
Follow a gentle, off-the-beaten-path trail through peaceful countryside, walking at your own pace with plenty of stops for photos and views. Your guide shares the story of Huang Gongwang's hermitage and the landscapes that shaped his art.
In the afternoon, explore a charming ancient town and seek out its local flavors, sampling regional snacks and soaking up the unhurried small-town atmosphere. A relaxed local lunch with fresh regional dishes is included.
The whole day is calm and restful, perfect for travelers who want authentic rural China, light walking only, and a genuine taste of the region. Pets are welcome, and pickup is available from any address within central Hangzhou.

Traveler Reviews
Looking back, there was a fair amount in 9 hours, but it never felt like a checklist. The stop at Fuyang Bayberry Picking & Ancient Town Day had room to breathe instead of becoming another quick photo.
The unglamorous part: pickup, tickets and the order of stops were handled without fuss. That sounds ordinary, but it is exactly what you want on a full sightseeing day. The time around Fuyang Bayberry Picking & Ancient Town Day was not the part I would cut.
One thing I learned: traffic added time to the day, so comfortable shoes and a little patience helped. The visit itself did not feel shortened. My only advice is not to shorten the time at Fuyang Bayberry Picking & Ancient Town Day.
The best compliment I can give is that I never checked how many stops were left. Fuyang Bayberry Picking & Ancient Town Day arrived at just the right point in the route.
