Start with the real Hangzhou board in Instaboard - mapped stops, day-by-day structure, and live sharing - then tailor the pacing, bookings, and notes to your trip.
Plan a 3-day Hangzhou city break with a West Lake loop on foot and by boat, a tea day in the Longjing hills, and an old-quarter morning at Qinghefang before an afternoon boat ride in Xixi Wetland. Best weather is usually April to October, with spring blossoms on the causeways and the mingqian tea harvest in the villages.
The itinerary is already built for you, and you can edit, customize, and rearrange it however you want.
Drag places onto the canvas to plan visually, then see everything you added mapped out in one place.
You get a cleaner version of the itinerary on your phone that is easy to use and easy to share.
Everyone sees updates instantly and can make changes together without losing track of the latest version.
This is the actual board structure you get when you open the template, not a generic mockup.
Jump into the board with the structure already laid out so you can start editing immediately.
Swap stops, reorder days, and reshape the plan without rebuilding the trip from scratch.
Keep everyone on the same itinerary instead of scattered screenshots and text threads.
Fresh highlights pulled from the template so you can browse the shape of the trip before opening it.
Arrive before 9am to beat the tour-bus crowds at the bridge made famous by the Legend of the White Snake. The lakeside gate gives the classic photo angle across the water toward the causeways.
Book the scenic boat ticket at Hubin pier, where the queue shortens after 2pm. The island and its three stone pagodas appear on the 1-yuan banknote and can only be reached by boat.
Buy tickets online ahead to skip the line and ride the elevator to the top. Come near sunset for the widest views over the lake and the city.
Farmhouses along the lane pour fresh Longjing brews at roadside tables, especially during the spring mingqian harvest. Bring cash and confirm tasting prices before you sit, as cards are not always accepted.
Arrive near opening to beat the weekend crowds and bring cash for the snack stalls. Graze from the drum tower end toward Wushan Hill.
Prebook the electric boat add-on online and enter through the main gate. Boats run on a fixed schedule, so check the last sailing times before you go.
