Hangzhou: Tongzhou River Island & Fruit Picking Day Trip

Escape to a peaceful island idyll on this fully private, easygoing day trip from Hangzhou to Tongzhou Island, set in the middle of the scenic Fuchun River. Your English-speaking guide and private driver pick you up at your hotel and take care of the whole day.

Tongzhou Island is a green, rural retreat far from city noise. Spend the day wandering its fields and quiet lanes at a gentle pace, with no strenuous activity at all. Try your hand at seasonal fruit picking straight from the orchard, a relaxed and hands-on experience the whole family can enjoy.

Your guide introduces the simple pleasures of island country life, from foraging wild greens to spotting river crabs along the banks, an authentic taste of how locals connect with the land. There is plenty of time to relax, take photos, and enjoy the riverside scenery.

A highlight is a fresh, local lunch in the fishing village featuring just-caught river delicacies, a genuine taste of Fuchun River cuisine. The whole experience is calm and unhurried, designed for travelers who want real rural China, light walking only, and the freedom to explore at their own pace.

Pets are welcome, and pickup is available from any address within central Hangzhou.

For us, what stayed with me wasn't the booking or the car. It was the time at Tongzhou River Island & Fruit Picking Day, when we could slow down and actually look around.

Sarah L.🇦🇪 UAE★★★★☆2026-01

Practically speaking, communication beforehand was straightforward. On the day, the plan was explained once and then everything simply felt easy to follow. For 9 hours around Hangzhou, the pace felt about right.

Daniel C.🇦🇹 Austria★★★★★2025-08

I underestimated how much standing the day involved. A short sit-down between stops made the second half much easier. My only advice is not to shorten the time at Tongzhou River Island & Fruit Picking Day.

Aisha R.🇿🇦 South Africa★★★★★2024-07

Honestly, I had a long list of things I thought I needed to see. After Hangzhou, I was happier slowing down and noticing fewer things properly.

In short, I came with questions, left with more questions, and mean that as a compliment. I would rather keep the pause at Tongzhou River Island & Fruit Picking Day than add another stop.
