The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River paints a beautiful picture, and the grand scenery of the world comes with spring【Drunk Beautiful West Lake·In-depth Tour】The West Lake in Hangzhou, a paradise on earth, is the perfect interpretation of a poetic journey. 🌟【The Scenery of West Lake, Poetic and Picturesque】 West Lake in Hangzhou, a scenic area listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, is a dazzling pearl of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. With the change of seasons, there is Su Causeway in spring dawn, Quyuan Fenghe in summer, Pinghu Qiuyue in autumn, and Broken Bridge in winter snow, each frame seems to step out of ancient paintings, making people linger and forget to return. Boating on the lake, looking at the reflection of Leifeng Pagoda in the distance, and hearing the joy of fish watching at Flower Harbor, one experiences the poetic life of 'Comparing West Lake to Xi Shi, light or heavy makeup is always appropriate'. 📍【Highlights of the Scenic Spots Revealed One by One】 There are ten scenic spots in West Lake, each with its own characteristics, among which the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, Su Causeway in spring dawn, and Broken Bridge in winter snow should not be missed. Stroll along the Su Causeway, feel the charm of the lake and mountains intertwined with historical culture; reach the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, watch the fantastic scene of the lake reflecting the moon at night; step on the Broken Bridge in winter, and look forward to a romantic encounter after the snow. In addition, there are places like Yue Temple, Gushan, and Lingyin Temple, where the profound historical and cultural heritage is awe-inspiring. 📅【One-Day Essence Itinerary Suggestion】 In the morning, you can enjoy the West Lake under the dawn at Lakeside Park, then take a boat to visit the small Yingzhou in the lake, and appreciate the beauty of the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. At noon, taste the authentic Hangzhou cuisine at Louwailou, and after the meal, take a leisurely walk along the Su Causeway to Quyuan Fenghe, feeling the beauty of the summer lotus. In the evening, climb up to the Gem Hill to overlook the panoramic view of West Lake, and finally enjoy tea and admire the moon at a teahouse by the lake, ending a day's journey. 🚗【Convenient Transportation Strategy】 Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport is about 30 kilometers from West Lake, and you can take an airport bus or taxi, which takes about 1 hour to reach. The subway lines 1, 2, and 4 in Hangzhou city have stations close to West Lake, which is very convenient. Friends who drive can choose to park in nearby parking lots, such as Yongjinmen Parking Lot, Youth Palace Parking Lot, etc., and then walk or cycle around the lake. 🎁【Travel Tips】 Most areas of the West Lake scenic area are open for free, and some attractions such as Yue Temple, Leifeng Pagoda, etc. require tickets to enter. The number of tourists is relatively small in the early morning and evening, which is suitable for photography enthusiasts to capture the beauty of West Lake under different lights and shadows. In addition, it is recommended to carry light rain gear, after all, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is also an indispensable part of West Lake. The beauty of West Lake lies not only in nature but also in culture. An in-depth tour allows you not only to enjoy the lake and mountains but also to deeply feel the cultural charm that has been deposited over a thousand years.TastyTemptations

In the farmers' market, besides the function of a vegetable market, it also carries the smoke🔥 of Hangzhou people's daily meals and the warmth of life.

A meticulously compiled super detailed itinerary for a six-day, seven-night trip to Hangzhou🍃Hangzhou is a romantic and comfortable place. This itinerary is for friends who are new to Hangzhou. The schedule is quite relaxed, suitable for a leisurely stroll~ 🌟D1: West Lake Please reserve a whole day for West Lake, it's worth it‼️You can refer to my previous notes for the route. If you rush to arrange West Lake and other attractions together, you will definitely regret it😭 After leaving West Lake, you can go to the Lakeside Yintai in77 by the lake for a stroll, if your feet are not broken... Hangzhou's most bustling commercial district, super big, you will get lost even with navigation, Hangzhou's daytime is given to West Lake, the night can be left to Yintai😘😘😘 🌟D2: Manjuelong➡️Longjing Village➡️Nine Creeks in Misty Forest➡️Yangmeiling I stayed in Manjuelong for the first two days. Manjuelong, where the osmanthus flowers have withered, has lost a lot of flavor, and there are only homestays and teahouses along the road😅 The homestay is near Wengjia Mountain. Under the guidance of the local tea farmer's aunt, I was trembling all the way, crossing the dense tea forest from Wengjia Mountain, and reaching Longjing Village! About 40 minutes, wandering on the mountain path, and crossing a small forest, I can't hang up the aunt will tell me: be brave🥹 ❣️Maybe this is the meaning of travel, no matter how many well-prepared guides are not as happy as the surprise brought by the aunt's unusual road🥳 🍃Eighteen Imperial Tea Gardens: It's worth going if you have time. Coming out of Longjing Village is Nine Creeks in Misty Forest, Nine Creeks in Misty Forest = Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies, one of the ten scenes of West Lake. The old trees on this road are intertwined, the tea forest is like a sea, and the stream is winding... Slow down, calm down, leisurely and carefully, looking for the quiet beauty here~ 🌟D3: Lingyin Temple➡️Taoguang Temple I stayed at a homestay near Baishi Bridge, 10 minutes' walk from Lingyin Temple. The advantage of living nearby is that when you return after the park is closed, you can take any photos at the entrance of Lingyin Temple📸 Lingyin Temple: 3 hours Taoguang Temple: 1 hour 🌟D4: Xiaoyingzhou Island➡️Xiaohe Straight Street➡️Gongchen Bridge Because I didn't have time to go to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon on the first day due to a miscalculation of time, I must make up for it‼️The whole journey is one and a half hours 🔸Xiaohe Straight Street is a very suitable literary street for a walk at night, with many personality shops, many check-in spots, and you can wear flowers~ 🔸Gongchen Bridge is the highest and longest stone arch bridge in Hangzhou, the end mark of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. I came from the starting point of the canal, so I must come here to see the end. 🌟D5: Faxi Temple➡️Jingci Temple From the homestay, take Tianzhu Road to Faxi Temple, the whole journey is about two kilometers, the ancient stone road winds all the way, bamboo forests and ancient temples, quiet and tranquil~ You can take the 1314 bus on the Dream Line directly from Faxi Temple to Jingci Temple 🌟D6: Six Harmonies Pagoda➡️Hefang Street I came here for Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, but I didn't expect the history and beauty here to be beyond my imagination🥹 In the evening, the Six Harmonies Pagoda at sunset is super beautiful~ Hefang Street is similar to the commercial streets in other places. If you don't have time, you don't have to go, it's average. The six-day and seven-night trip to Hangzhou is over, I really love it here💓I will come again in the future~RoamingNomad

The boat is large and stable! The experience is very good. The round-trip cruise + ticket to the island is very cost-effective. The cruise staff is also very detailed. The island returns from the lakeside pier to the city, which is very convenient! The garden landscape is very beautiful and the autumn scenery is panoramic! Would recommend family and friends to take the West Lake cruise!
If you have not been to Hangzhou West Lake, you can go to the island by boat. Now in winter, the island may feel a bit cold, but the scenery is still very good. The iconic Santan Yinyue is actually on the periphery of the island. There are many birds parked on the Santan. The ecology is very good. Qian Wangxuan Pier came up, and not far from the left was a good viewing spot. The first time everyone boarded the island was also there. The island is a field-shaped set, and it is still very good to walk around.
Come to Hangzhou, always go to the West Lake once, blow the evening breeze of the West Lake, walk the broken bridge of the year, take a cruise, and walk three pools of Yinyue. But there are really many people. The single and double numbers near the West Lake are limited. Parking has to be queued 😵💫😵💫😵💫
