3.21 Live Shot|The sunset over West Lake during the blue hour is absolutely stunning!!

Girls! The most romantic thing to do in Hangzhou in winter has to be chasing the West Lake sunset! When the cold northwest wind blows, the sunset is like it has a soft filter on it, it's so beautiful it makes me want to jump for joy! I recommend you come to Yongjin Gate around 4pm, the sparkling golden light on the lake surface is dazzling. At this time, you can always see young ladies in Hanfu taking silhouette photos, and there's an old man with a tripod saying, "Wait another ten minutes, the sun setting on the top of Leifeng Pagoda is the best!" Stroll along Beishan Street towards Gushan, the bare branches of the plane trees cut the sky into geometric shapes. The moment the streetlights come on is the most magical, the warm yellow halo and the orange-pink sunset dance a duet on the lake. Remember to take photos with your phone close to the lake surface, you can capture a double sunset effect! Jixian Pavilion is always crowded with photographers, I learned from a nearby veteran photographer and swung my scarf to take a photo. A young man in a lamb wool coat suddenly walked into the frame, the shadow of his candied hawthorn reflected in the water, this scene is enough to make me laugh for three months! The second-floor window of Starbucks by the Broken Bridge is a hidden gem! Holding a hot latte and watching the sunset slip away behind Baoshi Mountain, the frost on the glass window clashes with the sunset, like spilled orange soda. The shadows of the young couple by the window slowly overlap, I willingly accept this public display of affection. Finally, remember to grab a seat by the water at Hupangju! Order a pot of Jiuqu Hongmei tea with some snacks, and watch the lanterns light up on the boats in the twilight. The aroma of tea mixed with the smell of roasted sweet potatoes fills the air, a warm teacup in my hand, at this moment, I truly feel that working in Hangzhou is worth it!
