Hangzhou Day 2: West Lake Light Chasing Tour

On the second morning of my trip to Hangzhou, I checked out of my hotel and left my luggage at a hotel near West Lake, then couldn't wait to head to the lake. The hotel was close to Orioles Singing in the Willows, just a few steps away. I followed the navigation to Xinhenghe Bridge, went down the stairs on the left, and arrived at a photo spot that looked like something out of The Wizard of Oz. The scenery was stunning. I strolled along the lake to the cruise terminal and took a boat to the island where Three Pools Mirroring the Moon is located. On the island, the exquisite Three Pools Mirroring the Moon and the ancient Leifeng Pagoda were both fascinating. The sun sets early in winter, and everything was breathtakingly beautiful in the afterglow of the sunset. At sunset, I took a boat to Flower Harbor Park. Although it was getting dark, I still took a lot of photos in the afterglow. I love exploring lesser-known attractions and avoiding the crowds. On this day at West Lake, every step was a beautiful view, and I was relaxed and happy.
