Detailed itinerary

0800 A.M Our motorbike driver picks you up from the hotel and we zip through the busy traffic for the West Lake. Visit families in a fish-keeping village by the lake that you can learn about their business and about different fish species. Then have a walking tour on a street which bonsai, flowers and pet birds are for sale. Here we can observe how local buyers and sellers go about with their hobbies.

Our adventure continues through tiny alleys which were village roads some time in the past and again we reach the West Lake. The last leg of our trip is a smooth ride by the lakeside with nice view of century-old Buddhist pagodas here and high-rise buildings there, and in the water fishermen diligently carrying on with their livelihood... We will have relaxing moments to take in the fresh air at a lakeside cafe before the trip back to your hotel.

Note: The trip can not be done on a rainy day. If you have booked the trip and it happens to be raining on the day of the tour, Paradissa pays you the full refund.
