Anchang Travel Guide 2026

Why Visit Anchang? #

Set just outside Hangzhou, this area attracts travelers drawn to classic Jiangnan culture and tea-country landscapes; it’s an easy base for West Lake’s lakeside promenades and the Longjing tea fields. Narrow lanes and local teahouses give a close-up view of traditional tea picking and brewing. Expect relaxed riverside dining, historic temples and a quieter, more local flavor than the city center.
