I spent 7 days in Hangzhou, China. This is a city vlog capturing my journey. I explored West Lake, cycled around the scenic paths, and visited the Longjing tea plantations. The mornings were peaceful with locals practicing tai chi by the lake. I also wandered through the ancient Lingyin Temple and took a boat ride along the Grand Canal. The local food was amazing, especially the xiaolongbao dumplings and fried tofu. Evenings were spent in the night markets, tasting street food and shopping for small souvenirs. The bamboo groves near the tea fields were a highlight. This trip gave me a real feel for the blend of nature and city life in Hangzhou.

Antonychenn's trip to Hangzhou begins with a bang — his first business-class flight and lounge experience. After a long journey via Shanghai, he arrives at a hotel with an accidentally open window and a view of the Pop Screen Studios across the street. Day one is all about shopping: he hits an anime mall, the Pokémon Center, and multiple blind-box stores, picking up League of Legends cards, 151 Pokémon packs, and a Sanrio gold bracelet. Day two is the studio tour, where he meets the Anemo dev team but struggles with the technical Chinese. Day three sees him finally explore West Lake, though he spends a lot of time back at the Pokémon Center. He finds a tea house overlooking the water, endures an awkward entrance, and enjoys a peaceful meal. By the final days, Antonychenn discovers a new anime mall near West Lake and loads up on Genshin TCG cards and Hoyo Fair merch. He wraps up with three key takeaways: get WeChat and Alipay, watch out for aggressive drivers, and enjoy Hangzhou's hidden gems. The vlog is a casual mix of work, shopping, and city exploration, showcasing Antonychenn's genuine excitement and occasional culture shock.
Join Antonychenn on a business trip to Hangzhou that turns into a week of exploring China's famous West Lake, hunting for Pokémon cards, and navigating the local culture. From a first business-class flight to a serene tea house, this vlog blends work, shopping, and unexpected adventures.
Antonychenn explores Hangzhou for a week, blending a studio visit with West Lake strolls, tea house visits, and an epic blind-box haul.

china vloghangzhou travelwest lakeblind box haulpokemon centergenshin merchtravel tipsbusiness class flighttea house experiencenight marketWhat were the blind boxes like?
They were everywhere! Every piece of merch had a gacha element. I bought Sanrio and Pokémon blind boxes, hoping for Hangyodon and Pikachu.
What was the most surprising thing you found?
Probably the musical car horns at West Lake. Instead of regular honks, they play traditional Chinese music to keep the immersion.
Were the card packs cheaper than in the US?
Yes, the League of Legends Riftbound cards were way cheaper in China, and not scalped. I picked up a bunch to resell on eBay.
What was the tea house experience like?
It was peaceful but awkward to get in. The door squeaked loudly, and the staff just said 'look around' — but once seated, the view of West Lake was amazing.
