Hupao Spring is a serene scenic area in Hangzhou, famed for its clear, sweet spring water that is said to be among the best for brewing tea. Visitors stroll along bamboo-shaded paths, watch locals collect water, and relax in traditional tea houses. The spring's name comes from a legend of two tigers that dug the spring. The site includes a large bronze statue of the tigers and a pavilion where you can taste the water. It's a peaceful escape from the city, offering a glimpse into local tea culture and natural beauty.
