Hangzhou day trip or overnight - prior to Beijing

I’m staying in Shanghai from 9-13th October prior to going to Beijing via high speed train from 13th-18th October. I’m planning a side trip to Hangzhou mainly as a city escape to see the tea fields. Is it better to remain based in Shanghai & do a day trip out to Hangzhou say on 11th or 12th October? Or is it better to stay overnight in Hangzhou 12th October & then catch the high speed train to Beijing from there?

I have a Razer laptop that needs an IC repair, and I’m hoping to find someone who can diagnose and fix it as quickly as possible.

Preferably someone experienced with Razer laptops and motherboard repairs. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Hangzhou recommendations

Hi! I’ve visited Hangzhou previously and I’ll like to focus on visiting neighborhoods that focus on indie design, creative vibes and are generally less commercialized.

Google has provided the following recommendations, can you let me know if they are worth visiting?

小河直街
大井巷
南山路
天目里

For 天目里, is there a luggage storage available nearby? I’m hoping to head towards the Hangzhou West train station directly from there and hope to find a place to store my bags while I explore. Thanks in advance!
