Hangzhou
Welcome to Hangzhou, the Silicon Valley of the East.
Upon arrival, your tech-savvy guide/driver will wait for you in the airport/train station, and then escort you to your hotel. The rest day in Hangzhou is free on your own to relax yourself. You can shake off the jet lag with a leisurely neighborhood stroll or enjoy a quiet family dinner to rest up for the days ahead.
Your guide will assist you with your China Digital Nomad Survival Kit—Alipay/WeChat Pay Setup, which ensures you can navigate Hangzhou like a local.
Waimai normally means Food Delivery in English. You will personally place a mobile order for coffee via a local mini-program. Watch the real-time GPS tracking of your courier—a prelude to the city's logistics power. And clock exactly how many minutes it takes from your first tap to the final delivery in your hand.
For a fully immersive tech stay, choose FlyZoo—Alibaba’s Future Hotel concept that replaces traditional hospitality with AI-driven efficiency. This is a "Zero-Touch" experience where your face is your room key, and everything from the lights, AC, and curtains to the TV and smart toilet is voice-controlled, with autonomous robots delivering your room service on demand.
Optional Hangzhou Night Activity (Hefang Street)
Armed with your China Digital Nomad Survival Kit, head out to Hefang Street to explore the city’s nightlife and unlock more of the cashless economy. Use your newly set-up apps to summon a car, settle the bill at a local craft brewery with a quick scan, or grab a late-night snack from a street vendor—all while experiencing the ultimate freedom of a truly wallet-less society.
Dining:
Accommodation:
Today after breakfast, your Hangzhou High-tech Tour officially begins. Your first stop is the world-renowned headquarters of the Chinese e-commerce giant—Alibaba (Xixi Campus).
You will trace its transformation from a lakeside apartment to nowdays Alibaba. Explore the Six-Vein Spirit Sword corporate values and the unique Ali-Day traditions that define their talent philosophy.
The experience is elevated by a professional seminar titled Alibaba’s Past, Present, and Future, which decodes their innovative management views through the narrative of Tang Xiaoju’s Journey.
After a high-energy lunch in the employee canteen, you will conclude the visit with a landmark photo-op at the Global Headquarters.
Then, head to the Hema Supermarket in nearby Qinchengli Park to witness New Retail Market in action. Inside, you will see the automated overhead conveyor belts whisking online orders across the ceiling in a choreographed flow of logistics.
After selecting your items, experience the friction-less economy firsthand by using the facial-recognition or QR-code payment kiosks to complete your purchase in seconds.
Next, be driven for about 40 minutes to visit Yunqi Town, the birthplace of Hangzhou’s digital transformation. This high-tech hub offers a rare look at the City Brain, an AI-driven Central Nervous System that manages the pulse of the entire megacity.
You will see how massive streams of real-time data are processed to optimize traffic flow, coordinate emergency services, and automate public governance through a Digital Twin model. It is a masterclass in modern urban management, where complex city challenges are solved through invisible algorithmic efficiency.
After that, be driven back to your hotel.
Dining:Accommodation:
Today after breakfast, you will head to the Hangzhou Six Tech Dragons, or called Wensan Future Technology Experience Center.
You will get up close with agile robotic dogs performing complex maneuvers, challenge cutting-edge AI Large Models in real-time conversation, and even dive into the cinematic world of Black Myth: Wukong through interactive 8K displays and motion-sensing tech.
Your morning begins at the Wensan Future Technology Street, a high-tech district that serves as a living laboratory for urban innovation.
At the Future Technology Experience Center, you will explore the Six Tech Dragons ecosystem through a series of immersive showcases. These exhibits range from smart-city command centers that visualize "Hangzhou Speed" to holographic displays that bring 3D data to life without the need for glasses.
Step into the Perfect Day immersive zone to see how smart tech blends into daily life, and experience West Lake Meets Dunhuang, a stunning VR journey that transports you through Silk Road history without leaving the city.
Finally, get hands-on with Rokid’s latest AR glasses to see how augmented reality is redefining the way we interact with our surroundings.
After lunch, visit nearby West Lake. This leisure stroll is the perfect buffer to digest the high-tech intensity of the past few days.
Keep a sharp eye on the pedestrian paths: if you are lucky, you will encounter the city’s robotic traffic polices and autonomous police cars. These sleek, self-driving units navigate the crowds with polite precision, using multi-sensor fusion to ensure safety without breaking the lake’s tranquil atmosphere.
Your Hangzhou High Tech Tour ends here! Your tech-savvy guide/driver will escort you to Hangzhou Airport/train station for departure.
If you are departing from the airport, don't miss one final high-tech encounter at the Robot Coffee kiosk. This isn't just a vending machine; it’s a miniature, fully automated cafe where a dual-arm robotic barista grinds, tamps, and brews your coffee with surgical precision. Use your phone to customize your bean strength and milk ratio, then watch the mechanical arms perform a graceful dance to hand you a steaming cup—a perfectly automated farewell that summarizes Hangzhou’s Phygital spirit before you fly.

I highly recommend this 6-day Beijing and Shanghai group tour! It’s the perfect short trip to see China’s top highlights like the Great Wall and the Bund.
The price was fantastic for the value we received, with excellent guides and no forced shopping. A wonderful, budget-friendly experience!
Our 10-day China tour through Beijing, Xian, Guilin, and Shanghai was absolutely incredible! Traveling in a small group made everything seamless. The guides were highly knowledgeable, and I really appreciated the "no shopping stops" policy.
From hiking the Mutianyu Great Wall to the stunning Li River cruise and Shanghai's modern skyline, every moment was perfectly planned. Highly recommend Asia Odyssey Travel!
I recently finished the 8-day Beijing, Xian, and Shanghai small group tour with Asia Odyssey Travel, and it was absolutely fantastic! Traveling with just 12 people made the experience intimate and fun.
Our English-speaking guides were incredibly knowledgeable, bringing historical sites like the Terracotta Warriors and the Forbidden City to life. I truly appreciated their strict "no shopping stops" policy, which gave us much more time to explore.
The high-speed train transfers were seamless, and the hotels were very comfortable. A perfect, hassle-free trip! Highly recommended!
Just came back from an amazing 8 days tour to Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. The tour is very well organized and we enjoyed every minute of it. But what made the difference is the kindness and commitment of Asia Odyssey staff to provide exceptional service; including the travel assistant, Cindy and the three tour guides, Mary, Timo and Jessica. Thank you all for making our first time journey to China unforgettable!

This was a group trip organised by Asia Odyssey Travel and I had booked with them for the 29th July tour. Overall it was a fantastic experience starting from the rail station pick up, the hotel stays, the food and the guide during each day. Ms. Freya as a guide was nice and a little sweet girl. Shall get better with experience. My best wishes to her. Ms. Nia, the tour coordinator cooperated with me very well since my booking and everything was smooth. I reccomend Asia Odyssey for future travels. Best wishes.
We organized an 18-day tour across China with Asia Odyssey Travel, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, we were supported by Steven, who speaks excellent English and showed great patience and flexibility. He helped us design a fully customized itinerary based on our preferences, adjusting the original proposals to suit our needs. Steven also stayed in touch throughout the trip to make sure everything went smoothly—and we even had the pleasure of meeting him in person during our stop in Yangshuo!
Our journey included many destinations: Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, Furong, Fenghuang, Guilin, Yangshuo, and Shanghai. We took two domestic flights and three trains, including two long-distance rides. In each location, we were met by a local English-speaking guide and a driver. We were truly impressed by the professionalism and kindness of every guide we had: Vincent in Beijing, Tina in Chengdu, Christine in Chongqing, Rachel in Zhangjiajie – Furong and Fenghuang, and Helen in Guilin. Each of them was knowledgeable, helpful, and a joy to spend time with.
Although we’re not usually the type to travel with organized tours, we wanted a good balance between guided experiences and time on our own. Asia Odyssey Travel was incredibly accommodating, allowing us the flexibility to explore independently while still taking care of all the logistics—like picking us up from airports or train stations and ensuring someone accompanied us to our hotels, which was especially valuable in a country where English is not widely spoken.
Thanks to Steven’s advice and the guidance of the local experts, we were able to make the most of every stop—visiting key sights at the right times and avoiding crowds whenever possible. We always felt supported, cared for, and in good hands.
We wholeheartedly recommend traveling with Asia Odyssey Travel, and if we return to the region in the future, we’ll definitely choose them again!

Navigating China has never been easy with Asia Odyssey Travel and the knowledgeable guides. Tani has been also very helpful and responsive to my queries and I’ve learned a lot on how things work in China. The itinerary is worth it but ensure you warm up before your tour because the explorations need a lot of walking. Also, having a small group is ideal since we had time to know each other, and learn from new acquaintances.
I recently had the pleasure of touring Beijing with an amazing guide Steven and driver, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we were picked up, everything was well-organized, smooth, and enjoyable.
Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. He shared fascinating insights about Beijing’s history and culture, making each site we visited even more meaningful. Their enthusiasm and storytelling brought places like the Great Wall, Forbidden City, and Temple of Heaven to life. They also gave us great recommendations for local food and hidden gems, which made our trip even more special.
The driver was equally fantastic—always punctual, professional, and courteous. Navigating Beijing’s busy streets can be challenging, but our driver made it feel effortless. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making our journey stress-free and enjoyable.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our guide and driver. I highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Beijing.
Booking through Asia Odyssey Travel made everything so easy! The entire trip on the Century Voyage was seamless and stress-free. The all-inclusive pricing was a huge plus—no surprise charges, just pure relaxation. The ship itself is stunning, with luxurious interiors and spacious cabins that felt like a high-end hotel room. The staff was super friendly and spoke great English, which made everything more comfortable.
