Hangzhou: Longlin Weir & Blueberry Private Day Trip

Beat the summer heat on an easygoing private day from Hangzhou to the cool streams and orchards of Fuyang. Your private car and English-speaking guide collect you from your hotel, so the day starts in comfort with no rushing to a meeting point.

Your first stop is the clear, gentle waters of Huyuan Stream. A flat, scenic riverside greenway winds along the water past green hills and shady trees, a relaxing place for a leisurely walk and to dip your toes in the cool current. The star attraction here is Longlin Weir, a beautiful 'fish-scale' stepped dam whose curved tiers shimmer in the sunlight; it is one of the area's most photogenic spots and a favorite for stunning pictures, so have your camera ready.

In the afternoon you head up to a highland blueberry farm, where the cooler mountain air keeps the fruit fresh and sweet. Wander among the bushes, pick plump blueberries straight from the branch and enjoy the simple pleasure of fruit picking in the open air, a wonderful activity for families and children.

The whole day is built around comfort, cool scenery and gentle activity rather than effort, with no hiking involved. With a private vehicle, dedicated guide, flexible timing and a pet-friendly welcome, it offers an authentic, refreshing taste of rural Zhejiang before the easy drive back to Hangzhou.

A cool, relaxed private day from Hangzhou to Fuyang. Stroll a riverside greenway, splash and photograph the famous Longlin fish-scale weir, then pick fresh highland blueberries.
