Discover the Most Relaxing City Walk Route Around West Lake!

Every traveler visiting Hangzhou is likely to explore West Lake, but often overlooks the serene and picturesque spots nearby. I recommend spending a day avoiding the crowds and enjoying a relaxing city walk. ✅ City Walk Route: Liulang Wenying → Wansong Academy → Hupao Park → Lian Temple → Han Meilin Art Museum. 🔶 Liulang Wenying: This lush green haven is a favorite, with its bridge arches and reflections offering perfect photo opportunities. The spot is hidden in the park; navigate to 'Henghe Bridge' to find it. The lakeside is also beautiful for a stroll. 🔶 Wansong Academy: Start with photos at White Snake Flying Crossing, the aerial walkway is very photogenic. Then head to Wansong Academy, capturing moments along the way. It's even more atmospheric on rainy days. 🔶 Hupao Park: A personal favorite for its tranquil ambiance. The Hupao Spring water is sweet, and many come here to collect it. 🔶 Lian Temple: Compared to the crowded Lingyin Temple, this is a recommended peaceful sanctuary. 🔶 Han Meilin Art Museum: Nestled in the botanical garden, the giant Buddha head is a must-photograph spot, perfect for social media. Arrive early to avoid crowds. #HiddenTravelDestinations #HangzhouPhotography #WestLakeScenery #HangzhouTravelGuide #HangzhouCityWalk #HangzhouPhotoSpots #ReverseTravel #NewYearTravelFirstStop #SpringMountainAdventure #YouthfulSpring #WishingYouSpringtimeJoy
