[2025 Hangzhou Restaurant] Travel Guide for West Lake Spring (Updated Sep)

Hangzhou food is sooo good! If you’re looking for a foodie paradise, this city delivers big time. I tried local bites at places like Zhiweiguan (Address: 41 Jiefang Rd, Shangcheng District; open daily 7am-9pm) – their West Lake fish is a must! And the views? Absolutely epic! Whether you’re strolling by West Lake (Address: Xihu District; open 6:30am-6:30pm), or exploring the adorable old alleys, Hangzhou is STACKED with dreamy sights – the kind that’ll make your Instagram followers jealous 🤩. The weather lately is kind of cold, but honestly, I’m living for it. That chilly breeze makes everything feel extra refreshing, especially after last week’s sauna vibes in Shanghai and Suzhou. It was SO hot there, like... legit melting, couldn’t even enjoy the trip properly. But Hangzhou’s cool weather is hitting just right. Overall? The vibes were amazing, I ate my way through the city, and soaked in views that were next-level. If you're planning a trip, totally add Hangzhou to your list for food, sights, and those cozy feels!

It’s undeniable that Hangzhou is famous for its green scenery. So on the first day of my Hangzhou trip, I decided to explore those green myths at the Yunqi bamboo path, the willow pavilion, and a short walk to the boat dock at the lake.#hangzhou #greenery

A morning walk at West Lake Hangzhou before heading to try out their local breakfast. Very soothing and refreshing place to spend time with 😍 Recommendations month to go April, October is their raining seasons not so convenient to move around. Walking distance from HaiHua Grand Hotel Hangzhou to West lake took about 10mins. #travel #naturalwonders #china #hangzhou

The view at west lake is stunning great! Hangzhou is so beautiful!
