Free Tour: Hiking through Faxi, Longjing & Jiuxi

Hello, I'm Jacky, For years, I worked as a computer engineer, speaking the logical language of code. But deep down, I always felt a stronger call – the call of the trails, the whisper of the ancient trees, and the stories etched in the stones of my hometown, Hangzhou. My transition from behind a screen to guiding on the trails wasn't just a career change; it was a homecoming. I realized that Hangzhou is so much more than a "paradise on earth" from postcards. It's a living, breathing masterpiece where every hill, temple, and tea field has a soul. The city is like a perfect piece of software – but written by nature and history, with West Lake as its stunning user interface and the surrounding mountains and temples as its deep, powerful codebase. I decided to lead free tours because I believe the best way to experience Hangzhou is not through a rigid itinerary, but through a genuine connection. I want to share my Hangzhou with you – the secret spots away from the crowds, the local legends you won't find in guidebooks, and the profound peace you can find on a quiet trail. As a former engineer, I appreciate efficiency and value, so my goal is to give you an unforgettable, deeply personal experience that feels priceless, yet is free to join. You only pay what you feel the tour was worth at the end. So, join me! Let's swap stories, escape the noise of the city, and decode the hidden beauty of Hangzhou together, one step at a time.
