Remember to arrive early for the classic photo spots, as there will be queues. After taking photos, head to the arched bridge for shots of the traditional Chinese boats under the cherry blossom trees. ➎Guo Zhuang: Known as the "Little West Lake," this classical garden offers a unique perspective on the lake's beauty. ➏Yanggong Causeway: On a sunny day, casual photos of West Lake here resemble Erhai Lake. ➐Maojiabu: Just across the road from Yanggong Causeway, Maojiabu is now covered in blooming February orchids, creating a purple Monet-like sea of flowers. Walk a little further inside, and you'll find huge cherry blossom trees that will be in full bloom in a few days. ➑China National Tea Museum: Navigate to the Shuangfeng branch, located next to the parking lot. The white snow willow flowers are already in full bloom along the stream. ➒Prince Bay Park: The most popular spot for tulip viewing in Hangzhou this spring. To avoid the crowds, navigate directly to the north gate.
