Tour Highlights
Service Commitment
Upon your arrival at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, you will be greeted by your private driver and transferred to your luxury resort hotel. In the afternoon, you may visit the driving range at Fuchun Resort Golf Club to warm up and adjust to the humid Jiangnan climate and soft grass conditions. Spend the evening walking along the Fuchun River to enjoy the sunset, followed by a dinner of authentic Hangzhou cuisine.
Tips: The grass in this region stays soft and damp, so adjust your swing strength slightly to maintain balance. Insects are common near the river in the evening, so bring insect repellent.
Day 2: Golf at Fuchun Resort Golf Club and West Lake Leisure
Play 18 holes at Fuchun Resort Golf Club, widely regarded as one of China's most scenic courses. The fairways wind through tea plantations, streams and green mountains, creating a peaceful and poetic atmosphere for every swing. After your round, take a relaxing walk along West Lake to enjoy the classic scenery of Hangzhou.
Tips: Light-colored clothing works beautifully for photos among the tea gardens. Wear comfortable walking shoes for exploring West Lake.
Day 3: Transfer to Shaoxing and Golf at Shaoxing Jianhu Golf Club
After breakfast, you will be driven to Shaoxing in about one and a half hours. After checking in, enjoy 18 holes at Shaoxing Jianhu Golf Club, a beautiful water town-style course built around Jianhu Lake. Many holes offer views of traditional stone bridges and wooden boats passing by. In the evening, wander the ancient streets of Shaoxing and enjoy a dinner featuring Shaoxing wine and local dishes.
Tips: The course has many water hazards, so aim carefully to keep your ball in play. Shaoxing wine has a mild taste but a strong after-effect, so drink in moderation.
Day 4: Golf at Shaoxing Jianhu Golf Club and Cultural Exploration
Return to Jianhu Golf Club for another round of golf, focusing on short-game skills and enjoying the delicate green design. After playing, explore the historic heart of Shaoxing, including former residences and classic gardens, and taste local street food in the old town.
Tips: The ancient town has slippery stone paths, so non-slip shoes are highly recommended. Please keep your voice low when visiting historical sites.
Day 5: Transfer to Ningbo and Golf at Ningbo Oriental Golf Club
Travel by private car to Ningbo in around two hours. After checking in, play 18 holes at Ningbo Oriental Golf Club, a scenic coastal course with wide fairways and open views over the East China Sea.

Tips: Sea winds can affect ball flight, so adjust your power according to wind direction. Pair seafood with ginger tea for better digestion.
Day 6: Transfer to Jiaxing and Golf at Haining Jianshan Golf Club
Head to Haining in Jiaxing after breakfast, with a journey of about one and a half hours.

In the evening, explore the ancient town of Yanguan and taste local Jiaxing specialties.
