I would like to buy some longjing tea leaves. I went to LongJing Village but didnt manage to buy any. Now I wonder where I should buy some real stuff although many shops around the hotel that I stay sell.

I took the most expensive boat upper deck and paid RMB600 plus. My special case because was expecting rain from nearby typhoon.

Here is the link to buy in USD over the net. This is used by foreigners and not as ex for the normal seats as you mentioned.

I think it is worth watching. Very nice effects, performing on the lake.

We bought at Longjing village because dunno can trust those on the streets or not. They could be selling Longjing, but may not be xihu Longjing

Hi! There is a tea store chain 天福茗茶，I think is quite reliable. They have many chains in shanghai and I think they should have it in Hangzhou too. Hope this helps.

Hi, does anyone knows if there is any book store near Hyatt on the Bund? As I will be there for a few days next month, if possible, I am planning to buy some Chinese graded readers from there.
