Zhejiang Province Grand Loop Road Trip
A grand loop covering Hangzhou, southwestern Zhejiang, Lishui, Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Shaoxing, taking you through the province's finest landscapes and cultural heritage.
An extended itinerary adjusted from multiple loop road trip plans, running clockwise through Hangzhou, the upper reaches of the Qiantang River, Quzhou, Lishui, Nanxi River, Yandang Mountain, Tiantai, and Shaoxing, before returning to Hangzhou. The daily driving time is mostly within 3 hours, with a few longer days when crossing municipal boundaries. Zhoushan, Cangnan, and Jiaxing are excluded from the loop to keep the trip under two weeks. It is ideal for travelers with a full holiday who have already visited Hangzhou or wish to see the entire province.
July to September is the typhoon season; pay attention to weather warnings along coastal and mountain roads, and avoid driving during storms.
