Discovering Hidden Gems: Cafes and Cats in Hangzhou's Alleys
Nestled just steps away from Qinghe Fang, Hangzhou's vibrant heart known for its bustling streets, night markets, souvenir shops, and delicious food, lies a charming secret: a quiet alley brimming with beautiful cafes and adorable cats.
Whenever I'm feeling indecisive about where to eat, Qinghe Fang is my go-to. I love wandering around before ducking into Shiwukui alley for a coffee break. Don't miss the photogenic Xiaoxian corner!

A Must-Try Eatery
I've been back to Fang Chun Jian Jiao Steamed Dumplings 芳春煎饺烧麦 a whopping three times! The prices are incredibly reasonable, ranging from just 7-12 yuan.
Many visitors choose to stay in hotels in this area, so keep that in mind when planning your trip to Hangzhou!
