Wuzhen: A 1200-year town, with its black tiled, tung oil painted timber framework houses, that contrast sharply with its white walls and gray flagging, brings to mind a Chinese ink and wash painting.
Day 4 Hangzhou(B,L)
Hangzhou became the capital of the Southern Song when the invading Jurchen -- ancestors of the Manchus -- forced  the Song out from its capital, Kaifeng, in 1126. Situated on the Qiantang river, the city was once a bustling and prosperous trading center until it was sacked during the Taiping Rebellion in 1861. In the afternoon we will take a leisurely stroll by the West Lake and visit Lingyin Temple, which is famous for its 'laughing Buddha', and visit Longjing village to sample its famous green tea. Day 5 Hangzhou to Huangshan(city) via Hong Cun Village(B,L)
We leave Hangzhou in the morning and embark on a five-hour drive to Huangshan City (Tunxi), an old trading town  located 70 km (44 mi) southeast of Huang Shan. Huangshan's Old Street is lined with ancient wooden buildings from the Song dynasty, many of which have been converted into antique shops selling furniture and souvenirs. En route we will stop at Hongcun, a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing typical South Anhui architecture. The town is built along the banks of Nan Lake -- a fine place for photographs of its traditional architecture. The water from the lake wraps around the houses and underneath your footsteps -- walking down the streets is like walking down an outdoor museum with richly decorated porticos and sagging rooftops, which are treasures in their own right.
Hong Cun Village: An ancient town over 800 years old leaning against Mt. Huangshan, it is folded in the fog of the Mt. which makes it look like a river and mountain picts. It enjoys the reputation of "The Chinese town in the pictures". Especially, the whole town distributes like a "cow", which made it one of the wonders in the world culture heritage. The famous film"Crouching Tiger" was made here.

Huangshan is one of China's most famous landscapes, so be prepared to share the trails with others. While the scenery is truly striking, this is not the place to come for quiet contemplation!

We'll spend the night in a simple hotel in a small mountaintop village.
Wuyuan is a village endowed with rich ecological and cultural beauty eulogized by some as the most beautiful village in China.
