LOUISE MARSHALLUnited States

This trip is full of beautiful moments, and the beauty of West Lake unfolds before your eyes.

Don't ask me if West Lake is worth visiting anymore 🫧 The answer is all here. “Unable to leave Hangzhou, half of the reason is this lake.” West Lake's beauty is the lingering affection in Bai Juyi's poems, the shimmering ripples described by Su Shi, and a captivating presence no matter when you visit. In spring, West Lake is adorned with weeping willows, their tender green branches dancing in the breeze, and peach blossoms as vibrant as the clouds in the sky. Walking along the Su Causeway is like stepping into a spring painting. In summer, endless green lotus leaves stretch as far as the eye can see, contrasting with the bright red lotus flowers in full bloom. The fragrance fills the air, intoxicating the senses. In autumn, golden ginkgo and fiery maple leaves complement the lake's waters. Boating on the lake allows you to quietly enjoy the gentle embrace of autumn. In winter, the Broken Bridge dusted with snow creates a world of silver, a breathtaking fairyland. Stroll along the lakeshore, watch the shimmering water, and admire the Leifeng Pagoda gleaming in the setting sun. In that moment, time seems to stand still. Rent a bicycle and ride along the lake, feeling the breeze on your face as all your worries fade away. When you're tired, find a lakeside teahouse, order a cup of Longjing tea, admire the lake view, savor the tea's aroma, and enjoy this precious moment of leisure. Whether you're strolling hand-in-hand with your loved one, making romantic vows, enjoying a family outing, or traveling solo in search of inner peace, West Lake has something for everyone. Every corner here holds a story, waiting to be discovered. If you yearn for an encounter with nature, a journey for the soul, then don't hesitate. West Lake is definitely worth the trip. 💕
