Xixi Wetland
西溪湿地
Explore canals, reeds and quiet waterways west of the city.
Getting there
West of central Hangzhou. Match the bus, Metro or taxi route to the gate you plan to use. For the Zhoujiacun side, search 西溪湿地周家村入口.
Admission
Check admission for the section and gate you choose. A boat ride or internal transfer can be a separate purchase.
What to see
Look for the slower waterways and reed beds away from the busiest entrances. The waterside paths and boat views offer different experiences.
Plan your visit
Choose your entrance to match the part of the wetlands you plan to see, and leave time to return along the waterways.
Allow a few hours. Decide whether you want mainly walking or a boat and walking combination, and confirm which gate your route finishes at.
