West Lake in April: Encounter the Most Beautiful Spring Scenery

Dear friends, you must visit West Lake in April! Every photo you take here looks like a postcard - absolutely stunning😍! Here's a fantastic West Lake travel guide👇: 🎈Recommended duration: 5 - 6 hours 🎈Recommended route: Broken Bridge Snow → Bai Causeway Moon Over Peaceful Lake → Xiling Bridge (Most Beautiful Corner) → Qu Yuan with Lotus Breeze → Su Causeway Spring Dawn → Three Pools Mirroring the Moon → Flower Harbor Fish Viewing → Prince Bay Park → Leifeng Pagoda at Sunset → Orioles Singing in the Willows. Following this route, you can capture all the essence of West Lake's beauty🤩. 🎈Attraction recommendations: 🌟Su Causeway Spring Dawn: Located on the west side of West Lake, stretching north to south across the lake. It was built with dredged silt by Su Shi during the Northern Song Dynasty, connecting six bridges. In spring, peach blossoms and willows line both sides, with morning light casting down, creating a picturesque spring scene🌷. 🌟Qu Yuan with Lotus Breeze: Located in the northwest corner of West Lake. During the Southern Song Dynasty, this was an imperial winery. In summer, lotus flowers stretch endlessly. Imagine the blend of wine and lotus fragrance - simply beautiful🥰. The best viewing time is summer, especially during early morning or after rain when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. 🌟Moon Over Peaceful Lake: Located at the west end of Bai Causeway, southeast of Solitary Hill. On autumn nights, the lake is mirror-smooth, with the bright moon overhead, its reflection dancing with the lake's shimmer - intoxicatingly beautiful😌. 🌟Broken Bridge Snow: At the east end of Bai Causeway. After winter snow, the bridge appears broken yet unbroken, like an ink painting. This is also where the legend of Xu Xian and Lady White Snake began. Best viewed after snow on a clear day, when snow melts on the sunny side but remains on the shaded side, creating a unique charm❄️. 🌟Flower Harbor Fish Viewing: West of Su Causeway's southern section. Originally a private garden of a Southern Song Dynasty official, now home to koi fish and elegant peony pavilions - perfect for photos📷. 🌟Orioles Singing in the Willows: On the southeast shore of West Lake. Once a Southern Song Dynasty imperial garden, in spring willow branches sway while orioles sing. Morning walks here, listening to birdsong and smelling flowers, are pure bliss🌼. 🌟Three Pools Mirroring the Moon: In the heart of West Lake, south of Lesser Yingzhou Isle. When lit at night, the three stone pagodas reflect three moon images (including one in the center). It's perfect for Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing and appears on the back of the 1-yuan note - truly iconic🥳. 🌟Twin Peaks Piercing the Clouds: Northwest of West Lake, where North Peak and South Peak face each other. When shrouded in clouds, the peaks appear to pierce the sky. View from the "Twin Peaks" pavilion by Hongchun Bridge on Lingyin Road - worth visiting😎. 🌟Leifeng Pagoda at Sunset: On Sunset Hill at West Lake's south shore. The original pagoda collapsed in 1924 but was rebuilt in 2002, preserving the historic view. The pagoda glows magnificently in the sunset🌅. 🌟Evening Bell at Nanping Hill: At Jingci Temple on West Lake's south shore. When the bronze bell rings in the evening, its sound echoes through Nanping Hill, creating a serene atmosphere that calms the soul🎐. Friends, West Lake in April is incredibly beautiful. Come quickly and experience spring here💖!
