Walking route from Fuchun Teahouse along Dongguan Street to the Grand Canal at Dongguan Gate.
The trail starts with morning tea at Fuchun Teahouse, 35 Desheng Bridge, where three-diced buns, crab-roe soup dumplings and dasi ganzhi are the standard order. From there it follows Dongguan Street east for roughly 1 km, passing Pi Bao Shui Teahouse at 153 Dongguan Street and stalls selling lotus-root balls, and ends at the Dongguan Gate ferry on the Grand Canal. No operator is needed: each stop takes walk-in orders, and queue numbers are visible on Dianping (大众点评). Budget about CNY 80-150 (~USD 11-21) for a full tea breakfast plus snacks.
