I got 1 week in Hangzhou for the first time. Pls recommend where to stay, what to see, popular food

As for accommodation, I suggest you stay near West Lake area, which will be very convenient for sightseeing and transportation! The local attractions like West Lake Scenic Area, Xixi National Wetland Park and Mt. Putuoshan cannot be missed!

Except delicious HZ Cuisine, I also suggest you taste local snackes, such as baozi, shrimps and chicken and the restaurants like Zhi Wei Guan, Old Man Quick Fried Shrimp and Yao Bu De Gao Zu Sheng Jian are recommended! And the local famous snack street is Hefang Street!
