Hofang Youth Hostel is located in Dajing Street, nestled between two of the most famous old pedestrian streets, and one restaurant-street, in Hangzhou. The area used to be the imperial center of the Latter Song (Nan Song) Dynasty, and the street where the hostel is (where much of the history and culture remain) is also the one that is full of restored old buildings, with lots of character, identifying it with the traditional Yangtze Delta. The hostel is only a couple of hundred meters from any of these tourist attractions: the Historical Gate, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum, Hu Xueyans Residence, the Pedestrian Hefang & Imperial Streets. A short 5-minute walk will take you to either Wushan Square or Intime Shopping Mall from the hostel, and it takes 15 minutes by foot either to West Lake or Carrefour. The hostel is about 1.7 kilometers from the Main (central) Hangzhou Train Station - an 11 yuan taxi fare. There are lots of buses nearby to places of attraction, shops and etc., it is an extremely conveniently place to hang out!The hostel has a courtyard in the central area, as well as a paved outdoor patio, with white walls, traditional roofs with Chinese tiles, and a pomelo tree.
