[2025 Binzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Kaiyuan Temple Tower (Updated Mar)

The West Lake in early spring seems to be covered with a thin veil. The early morning mist enveloped the lake, and the mountains in the distance were looming, like an ink painting. Strolling on the Su Embankment, the breeze is blowing on your face, and the lake water is gently lapping against the embankment, as if telling a story of thousands of years. The most beautiful thing about West Lake in spring is the sea of ​​​​flowers in full bloom. Peach blossoms, cherry blossoms and pear blossoms are blooming in various colors, as if you are in a sea of ​​flowers. Walking on the flower path, the fragrance of flowers fills your nostrils and makes you intoxicated. When you come to West Lake, how can you not experience the fun of rafting on the lake? Get into the boat, gently row the paddle, and the lake water bursts out. In the distance, you can see the Thunder Peak Pagoda and the Three Pools Imprinting the Moon, as if you are in a fairyland. At this moment, all the worries disappear, leaving only the tranquility and beauty of the heart. Visiting West Lake, of course, does not include tasting the local delicacies. West Lake Longjing tea, Dongpo meat, osmanthus cake, every delicacy is endlessly memorable. In the teahouse by the lake, order a pot of Longjing tea and savor it quietly, as if time has slowed down.
