Location & Transportation

Zhejiang Police College sits in Binjiang District, Hangzhou, right next to the lush Zhijiangshan mountains. The address is 555 Binwen Road—easy to remember! To get there, take Metro Line 6 to “Binjiang Agricultural Park” station, then a short taxi ride. By bus? Lines 194 or 352 drop you near the campus. If driving, park at the gate (free on weekends). The college is a 20-minute ride from West Lake, so you can combine visits!

Natural Scenery

Don’t expect mountains or lakes, but the campus itself is surprisingly green. Shady trees line the paths, and there’s a small pond with ducks—perfect for a quiet stroll. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom near the training fields, making for great photos. The hills behind the college offer hiking trails with city views. Bring bug spray if you walk off-campus!

Human Touch: Police Culture

This isn’t just a school—it’s a window into China’s police force. Visit the Police History Museum (free!) to see old uniforms, vintage bikes, and spy gear. Watch students train: they practice martial arts, obstacle courses, and even mock crime scenes. On special days, there’s a police dog demo—those German Shepherds are stars!

Food & Facilities

The college has a student cafeteria where visitors can eat (cash only, under $5 a meal). Try the spicy noodles or dumplings. Nearby, a small coffee shop (Wi-Fi password: ask the staff!) and a convenience store sell snacks. No hotels on campus, but Home Inn in Binjiang is a 10-minute taxi ride away.

Interactive Fun

Want a unique experience? Join a simulated police call (English guides available!). You’ll “report” a crime, and students will respond. Families love the kids’ safety workshop, where little ones learn basic safety tricks. For adrenaline junkies, ask about the bicycle patrol ride with officers—wear a helmet!

Pro Tips

  • Dress casually—no suits needed, but avoid ripped jeans.
  • Respect rules: Some areas are off-limits, so stick to public paths.
  • Best time to visit: Weekdays for training demos, mornings for fresh air.
  • Free entry, but bring ID for registration.

Zhejiang Police College isn’t Hangzhou’s most famous spot, but it’s a cool peek into local life and law enforcement. Perfect for travelers who want something different—just don’t try to sneak into the dorms!
