The City Marco Polo Loved 750 Years Ago | Driving Through the Hangzhou Locals Love (4K) #chinacity

🍃 A city where tea hills, tree-lined roads, and everyday life exist in perfect harmony. Drive through the Hangzhou that locals love — quiet winding roads beneath a vast canopy of trees, passing Longjing Tea Village, historic Lingyin Road, and the peaceful Manjuelong area. 750 years ago, Marco Polo wrote about Hangzhou as one of the world's most remarkable cities. Today, people still come here to walk, cycle, sip tea, and slow down from the busy city. This is not a tourist guide. This is the real, breathing Hangzhou — experienced directly from the driver's seat. Summer in Hangzhou reveals another side of this famous city: green mountains, tea gardens, forest roads, cyclists, pedestrians, and everyday local life. 🎧 No narration. No music. Only authentic road sounds, the hum of the engine, and the atmosphere of China passing by. Captured in crisp 4K 60FPS. Best enjoyed with headphones. -------------------------------------------------- 🚗 【 About This Journey 】 • 1 Girl · 1 Car · Across China • Stop 136: Hangzhou • Total Distance: 12,580 km Driven and counting • Route: Urban roads → Tea hills → Forest areas • Last Stop: Dawakun Desert Road, Xinjiang • Next Stop: Gansu · The Hexi Corridor -------------------------------------------------- 📍 【 Route & Timestamps 】 00:00 Highlights & Intro 00:42 Yellow Dragon Sports Center (黄龙体育中心) 02:41 Shuguang Road (曙光路) 05:28 Longjing Road (龙井路) — Longjing Tea Village & tea mountain scenery 18:02 Lingyin Road (灵隐路) — Tree-lined roads near Lingyin Temple 25:24 Shuguang Road (曙光路) 31:29 Yugu Road (玉古路) 34:00 Jiaogong Road (教工路) 47:51 Gongjiao Road (公交路) -------------------------------------------------- If you enjoyed this peaceful drive through Hangzhou, subscribe and join the journey across China.
