To compare West Lake to Xi Shi, light or heavy makeup, it always looks enchanting

If there is a place that can be called a paradise on earth, it must be Hangzhou's West Lake😍. The sunset clouds and solitary ducks fly together, and the autumn water shares the same color with the vast sky. West Lake reveals its unique charm with the change of seasons, as if it is a poem that has been passed down for thousands of years, a meticulously carved painting. You can find your own peace and poetic sentiment💭 in the melodious boat songs by the lakeside🚣‍♀, the quaint and elegant courtyards🌇, and the verdant Liulang Wenying (Orioles Singing in the Willows)🌱. ✅Transportation ✈ Airport: Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport is 27 kilometers from the city center 🚅 Train/High-speed rail: Hangzhou Station, Hangzhou East Station, Hangzhou South Station 🚌 Bus: Hangzhou South Bus Station, Hangzhou Long-Distance Bus West Station, Hangzhou North Bus Station, Hangzhou Passenger Transport Central Station 🎫Ticket: Free 🍃 ⏰Opening hours: All day☀ 👏Essential attractions: Broken Bridge Remaining Snow - Pinghu Autumn Moon - Quyuan Fenghe - Su Causeway at Dawn - Huagang Guanyu - Santan Yinyue 📍 Leifeng Pagoda Leifeng Pagoda, also known as the Imperial Consort Pagoda, has profound implications. It is said that it was here that Lady White Snake was sealed by the monk Fahai under Leifeng Pagoda, and it was not until a hundred years later that she could see the daylight again🕊. The ancient and majestic pagoda has witnessed Lady White Snake's endless perseverance and love❤. From the top of the pagoda, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of West Lake, as if praising the beauty of the world for Lady White Snake. Every visitor seems to be able to feel the breath of that millennium-long romance, which is deeply moving. 🎫Ticket: 40 yuan💰 ⏰Opening hours: 8:00-20:00 🕗 Suggestions: 1. There are many squirrels🐿, pigeons, and fish🐠 near the lakeside on sunny and rainy days. Remember to come early and bring your own corn kernels, sunflower seeds, pine nuts... If you don't have any, you can also buy them directly (1 pack for 10 yuan, 2 packs for 15 yuan). 2. Take a boat at the Lakeside Park Wharf There are public boats at the Lakeside Wharf, island tour boats, and lake tour boats. If it's your first visit, go to the Santan Yinyue Island, 35 yuan per person (includes 2 rides, free admission)🚤 3. On Santan Yinyue Island, walk towards the left side, where you can take photos of the Santan Yinyue featured on the back of the 1 yuan RMB note, and the Xinxi Pavilion is particularly beautiful for pictures📸 4. With your ticket, you can choose any wharf to disembark. It is recommended to get off at Huagang Guanyu Island → enter Huagang Guanyu and walk to the left to see many fish and enjoy the leisurely atmosphere → continue along the Su Causeway, take the green sightseeing bus🚎 (wave to stop), or if there is no room here, walk a few minutes to Leifeng Pagoda to take the bus, as there are more people getting off there. Take 2 stops to the Broken Bridge, or first take 1 stop to Yue Temple → After visiting Yue Temple, walk to Xileng Bridge, take photos of the most beautiful corner of Gushan, and nearby there are Xiling Seal Engravers Society, Provincial Museum, Zhongshan Park, where you can choose 1-2 attractions to visit🙈
