📍【Hangzhou Impression】 Hangzhou, located in the northern part of Zhejiang, is a city with the reputation of "paradise on earth"👏. West Lake is like a bright pearl encrusted in it, surrounded by mountains, picturesque all year round. It has the solemnity and long-lasting ancient charm of Lingyin Temple, and the natural wildness and ecology of Xixi Wetland. Hangzhou in April, spring and bright scenery, weeping willows and scorching peach blossoms by the West Lake, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers and poetry, as if one step into the picture scroll of the Jiangnan water town, every corner hides surprises. 🚗【Transportation Strategy】 ✈️ Aircraft Party: Xiaoshan International Airport has many routes, global access. After leaving the airport, there are airport buses leading to all the bustling areas of the city, taking a taxi is convenient and fast, about 30 - 60 minutes to be in the lively city center, start the journey. If you have a lot of luggage, it is very convenient to take a taxi. 🚄High-speed rail family: Hangzhou East Station has dense trains, both south and north are super convenient. The interchange instructions in the station are clear. After exiting the station, the bus and subway are accessible in all directions. If you want to go to popular attractions such as West Lake and Lingyin Temple, you can easily reach them directly, seamlessly connecting super worry-free😃. Hangzhou Station is close to the city, and the surrounding facilities are complete, so it is super convenient to travel. 🚗Driving friends: Driving to Hangzhou to be aware that some sections of the city are congested, especially during peak hours and tourist seasons. However, there are quite a lot of parking lots, plan the route in advance, find a good parking spot, not going around in circles can be troublesome. Higher parking fees are comparable options around the West Lake Scenic Area, and sometimes public transportation is more convenient. 🗺【Travel Route Recommendation】 Day1: West Lake - Broken Bridge Remnant Snow - White Embankment - Lonely Mountain - Yuewang Temple Morning: Running to West Lake, starting from the broken bridge and remnants of snow. Although it is rare to see remnants of snow in April, the broken bridge under the warm spring sun has a unique charm. Stroll along the white embankment and see the scenery of lakes and mountains, with peach and willow blooming, as if you are in a painting. Noon: Try the vinegar fish by the West Lake. The fish is tender, the sweet and sour sauce is just right, melts in your mouth, served with rice, absolutely 😋. Afternoon: Climb the Lonely Mountain, visit the Xi'an Printing Society and other attractions to feel the cultural heritage. Then proceed to Yue Wang Temple to remember Yue Fei and feel that magnificent history. Day2: Lingyin Temple - Feilai Peak - Xixi Wetland Morning: Head to Lingyin Temple, the ancient temple is quiet, yellow walls and black tiles, pray for blessings in the morning bells and evening drums, explore the mystery and tranquility of the thousand-year-old temple, and observe the strange rocks of Feilai Peak. Noon: Have a hearty Hang Gang cuisine, recommend Longjing shrimp, tender shrimp with fragrant Longjing tea leaves, refreshing in the mouth, fresh enough to drop eyebrows😍. Afternoon: Come to Xixi Wetland, take a boat ride through the river, see the green trees and flowers on both sides, feel the gifts of nature, and have the opportunity to meet various rare birds. Day3: Songcheng, Hangzhou - return Morning: Running to Songcheng, Hangzhou, as if traveling back to the Song Dynasty, the streets and alleys are filled with staff and tourists dressed in ancient costumes, watching exciting performances and experiencing various traditional handicrafts. Noon: Try the local specialty of onion-wrapped cypress, where the fried dough sticks and onions are wrapped in spring cakes, pressed flat, and brushed with sweet noodle sauce. After dinner, we can buy some specialties, such as West Lake Longjing, silk products, etc., and then we can return. 📝【Practical Strategy】 🎫 Tickets: Lingyin Temple, Songcheng and other attractions require tickets, booking in advance on major platforms often have discounts, and can avoid the trouble of queuing on site. Most areas of West Lake are open free of charge, but some cruises require separate tickets. 🕙 Opening hours: Each attraction is different, before traveling, be sure to check the official website or phone consultation, reasonable arrangement of the trip, do not go in vain. 📸 Photography: Wearing Hanfu, cheongsam or elegant ancient-style clothing in West Lake, Xixi Wetland, wearing plain clothes at Lingyin Temple, the video rate is super high. 🍱【Food Recommendation】 1. Dongpo meat: bright red color, fat but not greasy, slow stewed until it melts in the mouth, savory and slightly sweet, is a classic of Hang Gang cuisine. 2. Dingsheng cake: steamed glutinous rice flour, filled with bean paste, etc., soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy, pleasing shape. 3. Kata Erchuan: The noodles are chewy, the soup is rich, with snow cabbage, asparagus slices, lean meat as ingredients, fresh and beautiful, come a bowl in the early morning, full of vitality. 4. Wushan butter cake: layered, crispy and delicious, with white sugar, nuts and other fillings, bite a bite, crispy fragrance overflowing. 💡【Tips】 1. In April, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Hangzhou is slightly larger, bring a thin jacket 🧥, put it on in the morning and evening, to prevent cold. 2. When taking a cruise on the West Lake, be safe and obey the instructions of the staff. 3. Taste Hang Gang cuisine, some dishes taste sweet, eat not used to tell the boss in advance, so to adjust the taste. Sisters, Hangzhou in April is full of surprises, pack your bags and set off 💕, I believe you will fall in love with this charming place!
