1.Shopping Highlights Hubin Yintai in77 (Longxiangqiao Station, Metro Line 1): A high-end commercial complex by West Lake, featuring international brands, 网红 stores (internet-famous shops), and local designer boutiques. Don’t miss luxury flagship stores in Area A and the intangible cultural heritage + creative culture experience zone in Area E. Hefang Street: A Ming-Qing style historic street where you can hunt for silk products, oil-paper umbrellas, and other handicrafts. Pair shopping with snacks like dingsheng cake (a sweet rice cake) and congbao hui (scallion pancake rolls)—try Grandma Sun’s Congbao Hui and Youbu Doujiang’s savory soy milk. 2.Must-Try Eateries Time-honored restaurants: Louwailou for West Lake Vinegar Fish and Dongpo Braised Pork; Zhiweiguan for maoduoer (cat’s ear-shaped noodles) and pian’erchuan (noodle soup with pork & bamboo shoots). Local gems: 117 Noodle Shop for beef tenderloin banchuan (stir-fried noodles) and Sizaoer for red braised pork with fermented rice buns—both listed in the 2024 Must-Eat Guide. Snack streets: Hefang Street’s congbao hui and Fuyuanju’s oil-splashed chicken, or the "Tasty Zhejiang" market at Wulin Square for a one-stop tour of Zhejiang cuisine. 3.Supermarket for Local Goods Century Mart (Qingnian Road Store): Located in the Hubin commercial district, ideal for buying West Lake Longjing tea, lotus root starch, and other specialties—just a 5-minute walk from Hubin Yintai.
