My son was completely captivated by the stories. Guo Zhuang Garden You haven't truly experienced Chinese gardens until you've visited Guo Zhuang. This is a rare, well-preserved Suzhou-style garden in Hangzhou. The delicate pavilions and buildings complement the rockeries, ponds, flowers, and trees perfectly. The lotus flowers 🪷 are in full bloom now, making it especially photogenic. Living Crafts Museum After leaving Guo Zhuang Garden, we went to the Living Crafts Museum where we made intangible cultural heritage lanterns. It was an absolutely wonderful cultural experience.

I come to Hangzhou every year, and West Lake is definitely a must-see place. When I was a child, I went on a pilgrimage to the paradise on earth. When I was middle-aged, I started to visit the Broken Bridge and the Snow. In my old age, I went on a pilgrimage to visit Su Dongpo, the Xiling Seal Society, the Zhejiang Museum, and the Hangzhou Museum, and I also went to see the celebrities who were buried there. For me, traveling is no longer a matter of coming and going in a hurry. Wandering along the West Lake day after day. From Su Causeway to Su Dongpo Memorial Hall, along the way, the journey with Su Dongpo as the pilgrimage destination has passed through many places. As long as you come across them, you can't miss them. I come to Zhejiang Museum and Hangzhou Museum to study almost every two years, and of course I also visit the Tea Museum, Silk Museum, etc. Apart from Leifeng Pagoda and Lingyin Temple, Hangzhou is also a paradise for cultural tourism.

❤Recommended reason: When people think of West Lake, they always think of its beautiful scenery. But did you know? West Lake would not be what it is today without Su Dongpo! In the Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo was the governor of Hangzhou. He was not only a great writer, but also a visionary official. Under his leadership, West Lake underwent large-scale dredging and reconstruction. Su Dongpo's transformation of West Lake not only beautified the environment, but also solved the local water problems. His actions are still praised by future generations.
