I'd be probably staying outside of Hangzhou at the Aman resort as it looks incredible. If not, I'll probably go with Taipei.
If you're in Beijing or Shanghai, then backtracking to HK grossly falls short of your n/s requirement. Both ORD and NRT are much more direct.
CI doesn't fly from HKG to PEK (without a connection in TPE). I'm guessing you meant Air China. Most of my friends prefer KA on HKG-PEK, but when we're using our own money tend to settle on cheaper options because it's not an especially long flight.
