Come to West Lake to explore, the plane trees along Beishan Street are super romantic! ❤️ The majestic plane trees are refreshing to look at💕💞

📍Location: Enter through Gate 3 of Quyuan Fenghe, then turn right and walk 200 meters. 🏝️Timing tips: Wake up at 4:00 am; the best photo time is between 5:30 and 6:00 am. 🚗Getting there: How to gracefully squeeze into West Lake 1️⃣ Subway: 🚇 Take Hangzhou Metro Line 1 to "Longxiangqiao Station," exit at C, then walk 10 minutes to Broken Bridge (grab a milk tea along the way to recharge). 2️⃣ Bus: 🚍 Take routes 7 or 27 to "Geling Station," get off right at the photo hotspot. 3️⃣ Driving: 🚗 Brave soul! It’s best to park farther away (like at Huanglong Sports Center), or you might experience the philosophy of "1 hour parking, 5 minutes shooting." 4️⃣ Shared bike: Scan the code by West Lake to ride 🚴‍♀️ and pretend you’re the star of a romantic drama (just don’t ride into no-ride zones, or the traffic police will smile at you). 📸 Photography tips: ➡️ Navigate to Gate 3 of Quyuan Fenghe, then turn right and walk 200 meters ↪️ The golden hour from 5:30 to 5:50 is fleeting ↪️ Bring a telephoto lens and arrive 20 minutes early (even earlier for time-lapse) ↪️ Move your viewfinder to capture different light and shadow slices ↪️ This view is exclusive to early May (now is the perfect time!) 💗 Other tips: 👉 The golden light piercing the cave is actually an ancient "Winter Solstice Easter egg," with Baoshu Pagoda and the bridge arch forming a natural sundial. 👉 After shooting, you can head to "Beishan Street" for coffee; this street is known as the "Seine River of Hangzhou" (add a filter, and it’s Paris in a flash). 👉 A friendly reminder: The ladies selling scallion pancakes by West Lake might shout, "Young man, better eat a pancake than take photos." It’s wise to listen—after all, you need energy to fight for the best spot! Hahaha 🤣

When visiting Hangzhou during holidays, avoid crowds, spend nothing, take no detours, and discover secret photo spots to effortlessly capture stunning images! Remember this lesser-known West Lake route that only locals know: Hangzhou Beishan Street sunrise—Qu Yuan Feng He—Maojiabu—Wugui Lake—Yuhu Bay—Prince Bay. Beishan Street: Phoenix trees and Republican-era architecture create a charming atmosphere, earning it the title "open-air museum of modern architecture." It's especially known for offering beautiful West Lake sunrise views from across Broken Bridge. Qu Yuan Feng He: One of the Ten Scenes of West Lake. During an early morning stroll, you'll see wild ducks playing in water, squirrels climbing trees, wooden walkways and ancient pavilions reflected in the lake—a serene yet vibrant scene. Half an hour after sunrise, witness the spectacular golden light shining through the Moon Bridge arch. Maojiabu: Following the "Incense Pilgrimage Path," discover reeds, pebble beaches, and wooden walkways creating a natural landscape. This former incense pilgrim dock is now a hidden paradise, adorned with Tongli Ancient Bridge and the Du Jinsheng former residence. Occasional small boats glide across the open water, completing this ink-wash painting of Jiangnan. Wugui Lake: A blend of wetland ecology and cultural relics, with small islands connected by curved wooden bridges beneath Santai Mountain. Yu Qian Temple stands solemn and dignified, while Yongfu Bridge features a unique slanted stone beam structure. Rowing boats gently ripple the water, adding a touch of secluded romance. Yuhu Bay: With its winding, deep waters and Jihong Bridge arching like a rainbow over waves, this area forms a "West Lake secret realm" alongside Yellow Bamboo Building and Wu Champion Archway. Few tourists visit, allowing you to immerse yourself in the landscape once painted by Huang Gongwang. The reflection of Jihong Bridge makes for especially photogenic shots. Prince Bay: Though famous for spring tulips, it's lush with greenery during May holidays. Pipa Island, Emerald Garden, and other attractions create spacious environments through waterways and lawns, showcasing the garden design concept of "islands surrounded by water." Key photography spots: 1. Beishan Street sunrise: Navigate to Xinxin Hotel, with Broken Bridge across the lake. Find a suitable position nearby. Spring sunrise is around 5 AM, varying by season. 2. Golden light through Moon Bridge at Qu Yuan Feng He: Enter through Gate 3, walk about 50 meters toward West Lake to find Moon Bridge. Wait about 20 minutes after sunrise for the light to turn golden as it shines through the bridge arch—especially beautiful with morning mist. 3. Maojiabu: Capture pavilions and arched bridge reflections from the "Dark Green Towering" pavilion. 4. Wugui Lake: Photograph rowing boats from near the Loyal Heart Archway and on Yongfu Bridge. 5. Yuhu Bay: Shoot panoramic views of Jihong Bridge from under the Wu Champion Archway. 6. Prince Bay: Find prime photo spots near Fanghuai Pavilion. (Note: Due to weather conditions, the golden light through bridge and Dark Green Towering pavilion photos are from internet users. For more travel tips, see "Retired Couple Travels the World")

I recommend starting your tour at Broken Bridge (Duanqiao Canxue), the legendary site of the White Snake Lady. Standing on the bridge offers beautiful views of Beishan Street. Stroll along Bai Causeway to Pinghu Autumn Moon, where the evening lights reflecting on the lake surface are especially enchanting. Next, visit Zhejiang Provincial Museum and Gushan Scenic Area, then take a boat to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, which is the scene depicted on the back of the 1 yuan RMB note. In the afternoon, I recommend visiting Flower Harbor Fish Viewing (Huagang Guanyu), then climb Leifeng Pagoda to enjoy a panoramic view of West Lake, with the most spectacular scenery at sunset. In the evening, head to Hubin Pedestrian Street to watch the musical fountain shows at 7:00pm and 8:00pm. Other must-visit spots include Orioles Singing in the Willows Park (Liulang Wenying), where spring willows appear like smoke, and Qu Yuan Feng He, which is the perfect place to appreciate lotus flowers in summer. When visiting, I suggest wearing comfortable sneakers as the West Lake scenic area is large and involves a lot of walking. You can choose the lake-circling sightseeing bus as transportation, which saves energy while allowing you to enjoy the scenery along the way. Remember to book Leifeng Pagoda tickets in advance and avoid peak hours during holidays. There are plenty of dining options around West Lake - I recommend trying Hangzhou cuisine such as West Lake Vinegar Fish and Dongpo Pork.

How long has it been since you've enjoyed a bike ride? Cycling is a healthy and eco-friendly way to explore. All you need is a bike and a backpack—simple and green. Experience the challenge of overcoming obstacles and the triumph of reaching your destination! Cycling also improves memory, alleviates Parkinson's symptoms, strengthens cardiovascular function, and offers many other benefits! So, how should you plan your 2025 Hangzhou spring cycling route? Don't worry! Here's a free, fun itinerary that lets you roam freely amidst beautiful blossoms. Feel free to save it! The route: Beishan Street — Yanggong Causeway — Yun Song Bookshop — Hangzhou Botanical Garden — Nanshan Road — Liulang Wenying Park Beishan Street, officially known as the "Beishan Street Historical and Cultural Protection Zone," exudes a rich Republican-era charm in every plant, building, brick, and tile. Even more stunning is its location right by West Lake, offering breathtaking views. Yanggong Causeway, as famous as Baidi and Sudi Causeways, was excavated under the supervision of Yang Mengying, hence its name. The causeway features six bridges from north to south: Huanbi, Liujin, Wolong, Yinxiu, Jingxing, and Junyuan. It's a "rollercoaster road" where you can cycle amidst vibrant spring scenery and delightful flowers, enjoying the unexpected thrill of a "rollercoaster" ride. Yun Song Bookshop: When you're tired of cycling, take a break at the Yun Song Bookshop. This "martial arts manor," built by Cha Liangyong (Jin Yong) at a cost of tens of millions, boasts highlights like the "Gengyun Xuan," "Yulan Pavilion," "Songfeng Mingyue Tower," "Shangxin Zhai," and "Tingsong Pavilion." The couplet at the entrance, "Flying snow fills the sky, shooting the white deer; smiling, I write of divine heroes, leaning on the green mandarin duck," is a playful combination of the first characters of his works. Hangzhou Botanical Garden: After resting, a 5-minute ride brings you to the Hangzhou Botanical Garden, a testament to Hangzhou's love for flowers. It's divided into nine sections: Penjing, Roses, Orchids, Chrysanthemums, Fragrant Flowers, Open-Ground Flowers, Aquatic Flowers, Greenhouse Flowers, Peonies, and Tree Peonies. In spring, roses and climbing roses bloom brilliantly, wisteria flowers form a sea of purple, and the Penjing and Orchid sections offer continuous delights, allowing you to immerse yourself in the world of flowers. Nanshan Road: Next, enjoy a ride along Nanshan Road. Unlike Beishan Street, Nanshan Road has a stronger artistic atmosphere. You can pass by Taiziwan Park, Zhejiang Art Museum, China Academy of Art (Nanshan Campus), and Changqiao Park, all highlights under the gentle spring breeze. Liulang Wenying Park: When you're tired, stop at Liulang Wenying Park. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was the capital's largest imperial garden, known as Jujing Garden. Today, it's known as Liu Zhou (Willow Island), where orioles fly and sing, giving it the name "Liulang Wenying" (Orioles Singing in the Willows). It's the most relaxing and pleasant spot in West Lake. The park's layout is open, fresh, elegant, and simple, with willow groves complementing exotic trees and flowers like purple nanmu and cedar, making it a perfect place to admire West Lake's beauty. As you may have noticed, the 2025 Hangzhou Spring Cycling Route is entirely free and a classic West Lake cycling route. It takes about 4 hours, with plenty of stops and fun along the way, allowing you to roam freely amidst beautiful blossoms. If you have more time, visit Wushan Square and Hefang Street. The former has museums and event spaces, while the latter is an antique commercial street with numerous traditional Chinese medicine clinics, time-honored brands, crafts, trendy shops, and food streets, popular among visitors. Bike Rental Information: There are many bike rental brands around West Lake, such as Little Red Bike, Little Blue Bike, and Little Yellow Bike. We recommend Hangzhou Public Bicycle (Little Red Bike). It's free for the first hour, CNY 1 for two hours, CNY 2 for three hours, and so on. To rent, present your ID card and deposit CNY 300 (CNY 200 as a credit deposit and CNY 100 for usage fees). You can get a refund with your ID card when you're done. You can also scan the QR code to rent Little Blue Bike and Little Yellow Bike, which require real-name authentication. 2025 Hangzhou Spring Cycling Route Practical Information: Free of charge. Take Metro Line 1/2 to Fengqi Road, Exit B. Walk 15 minutes to West Lake and rent a bike. You can also bring your own bike. Interested in the 2025 Hangzhou Spring Cycling Route?

Each room has independent access control and bathroom, giving you a full sense of security. The small courtyard at the entrance, the kitchen on the first floor and the balcony on the top floor are all public areas. You can also overlook the North Peak on the top floor, which is very atmospheric for taking photos📸 🧹Environmental sanitation: The room is spotlessly clean, the bedding is clean and soft, and there is no odor in the bathroom.

I feel the lake breeze and look at the sparkling lake surface, and all my worries disappear☺️. It feels so wonderful to return to the B&B at night, chat with the owner and other guests in the courtyard and share interesting things about the trip.

At 5pm, Jixian Pavilion overlooks the lake surface glittering like scattered gold. Squeezing through the crowd with my phone, I watch the sunset paint Leifeng Pagoda in honey colors. In the ripples left by passing boats, I see the scene from Bai Juyi's poem - "half the river shimmering, half the river red." Photography enthusiasts set up their tripods, waiting for that perfect moment when the last ray of light kisses the pagoda's peak. Spot 1: Golden Hour at Changqiao Park Golden willows sway by Changqiao Bridge, where newlyweds take wedding photos on the lawn, their backlit hair gleaming. Through telephoto lenses aimed at Leifeng Pagoda, the entire structure transforms into glowing amber when the setting sun aligns perfectly with its top. Ladies in Hanfu crossing the stone bridge have their flowing garments gilded by the warm light. Spot 2: The Living Scroll of Beishan Street Phoenix trees on Beishan Street filter orange light spots, as traffic flows through the light and shadows. On the stone steps of Xiaxia Pavilion, couples embrace while gazing toward Broken Bridge, as Baochu Pagoda stands gracefully in the twilight. Suddenly, a white egret glides across the lake, its wings touched by the lingering warmth of sunset. Spot 3: God's Eye View from Baoshi Mountain Climbing the stone steps to Hama Peak, the panorama of West Lake suddenly unfolds before you. The lake surface resembles crumpled silk, with boats floating like gold leaf. The purple-brown rocks of Baoshi Mountain turn honey-colored, while Baochu Pagoda casts its diagonal shadow across Bai Causeway. Spot 4: Cinematic Benches on Gushan Road The phoenix tree-lined avenue of Gushan is stretched long by the setting sun, where elderly couples sit on benches peeling oranges that glisten in the light. Through telephoto lenses at low angles, sunlight breaks into spots between trees, while Bai Causeway in the distance looks like a glowing silk ribbon. Spot 5: Orange Sea at Liuhe Pagoda The reed marshes of Liuhe Cultural Park shimmer golden, while puddles on the mudflats mirror the orange-red sky. Girls in white dresses run across the wooden boardwalk, casting long shadows in the sunset. Across the water, Qiantang River Bridge becomes golden harp strings, with trains slowly passing by. As dusk falls on West Lake, lights begin to twinkle, while my phone gallery fills with shots of "egg yolk suns" and clouds. West Lake's twilight truly hides in every fold of the remaining light. Tomorrow brings another sunset, and I'll always look forward to our next encounter.

Exit at Longxiangqiao Metro Station, walk to Longxiangqiao Bus Station, and take Bus No. 4 to the park entrance.

When the autumn wind fades and winter approaches, Lingyin Road in Hangzhou becomes a beautiful natural painting. This road, usually covered by the shadows of the pine trees, is transformed into a 2-km-long maple forest in December, as if by magic. The maple leaves are like a fire that lights up the whole street. From Beishan Street to Lingyin Temple, the maple leaves change color from green to yellow, then orange, and finally red. The layers of colors are like a long scroll painted by a master artist. Maple Viewing Route: - Shuangfeng Chayun Yubei Pavilion: Enjoy the beauty of ancient steles and red maples, with an ancient charm like a poem or painting. - Shilian Pavilion: Surrounded by maple leaves, it is a quiet and unique place. - Yinlu: Quiet and elegant, with red maples adding color. - Feilai Peak: Enjoy the maples at the foot of the peak, where Zen and autumn blend. - Lingyin Road Bus Stop: The surrounding maple leaves are beautiful, making it a great place to enjoy the scenery. Photography Guide: Ancient style lovers can take photos at Shuangfeng Chayun Yubei Pavilion, where there are also red maples at Yun Song Book House. Shilian Pavilion, Yinlu, and the Republic of China villa at No. 10 Lingyin Road are all great places for ancient style photography. Maple Viewing Tips: - The maple leaves are at their best in early December, and the beautiful scenery lasts for only about two weeks, so don't miss it. - Walking or cycling is recommended for a leisurely view. If you drive, you can park at Jiulishan Parking Lot for CNY 10 per hour, and then walk or cycle along Lingyin Road for a relaxing experience. Come to Lingyin Road for a date with the red maples and let your heart be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

Fall is here 🍁 Hangzhou is entering the romantic red leaf season The maple and plane tree leaves on Beishan Street have already turned yellow It's beautiful to visit in the afternoon Here's my Beishan Street fall foliage route . 【My City Walk Route】🚶🏼‍♂️ Fengqi Road Metro Station - Duanqiao Bridge - Beishan Street Corner - Beishan Street - Manaosi Temple - Lushui Fuqu - Most Beautiful Corner - Gushan Park - Bus 1314 . ✅p1 West Lake Corner by Duanqiao Bridge ✅p2 Lushui Fuqu ✅p3 Manaosi Temple ✅p567 Beishan Street ✅p4 Most Beautiful Corner on Beishan Street ✅p8 Across from Gushan Park 【Travel Tips】 🏠Location: Beishan Street Historic District, Xihu District, Hangzhou 🚇Transportation: Take Metro Line 1/2 to Fengqi Road Station 📸Photo Time: November 30, 2024, afternoon . Tips‼️ 1️⃣It's best to visit on a sunny afternoon! 2️⃣Most of the leaves on Beishan Street have already turned yellow. The best time to visit is mid-November to mid-December. 3️⃣It's getting cold in Hangzhou, so dress warmly.

Beishan Street is 3,248 meters long, with an asphalt pavement and two lanes in both directions. Beishan Street is a very beautiful street. Walking in from Huancheng West Road, there are many buildings from the Republic of China on the right, such as Qiu Shui Villa, Xinxin Hotel, etc., so it is called Beishan Street, Half of the History of the Republic of China. On the left is the West Lake surrounded by blue waves, where natural beauty and cultural beauty are perfectly integrated together. I recommend a good public transportation route, which is to take a bus to Qiantangmenwai Bus Station, and then walk all the way along Beishan Street, passing the Broken Bridge, Geling, Baidi, and Sudi. It is a good route for sightseeing and taking pictures 📸.
