West Lake's Dual Charms: A lake of landscapes, a city of poetry, with millennia of stories waiting to unfold
Opt for a certified local guide package to unlock exclusive experiences like the 1 CNY photo spot replica, Southern Song Dynasty scenes at Leifeng Tower, and Su Shi's water management stories on Su Causeway—content you won't find on typical tours!
Follow the guide's golden microphone to unlock a West Lake unseen by ordinary visitors—not just a natural masterpiece that "looks fair in light or heavy makeup,"
It's a living museum where Bai Juyi dredged canals and built embankments, and Su Shi composed poetry over warm wine. With professional guides, every blue brick tells a story, and every wisp of lotus fragrance carries echoes of history.
Ascend the tower to enjoy panoramic views of the lake and mountains, capturing both Three Pools Mirroring the Moon and Su Causeway in Spring Dawn in a single frame!
Standing on the causeway built by Su Shi himself, you'll truly understand the tenderness behind "Comparing West Lake to the beauty Xizi."
The beauty of West Lake culminates at Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. As the crown jewel among West Lake's Top Ten Scenic Spots and the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, this lakeside garden invites you on a poetic journey through millennia with its "islands within lakes, lakes within islands" wonder.
