After getting off the subway and walking towards the Xianghu Scenic Area, the first and most distinctive arch bridge should be the Wohong Bridge, which is like a rainbow lying across the Xianghu Lake, with a single large round hole, and its shape is like a raised arch back with a towering camel hump. It is an antique bridge built using ancient bridge-building technology. The bridge has a solid body and a stable structure. I really like it. I will go to Xianghu Lake next weekend to see other arch bridges. #Hangzhou #HangzhouXianghu Lake #Stone Arch Bridge Landscape Painting #Wohong Bridge

My destination this time is Hangzhou, and I am at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. Walking to the window, I can see the green Xiang Lake. I chose to come to Hangzhou to experience this unique tranquility and comfort. I chose to stay at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. Here, it is away from the dust but not the city, hidden from the world but not far from the world. Xiang Lake Freedom Manor is located in Xiang Lake National Tourism Resort, and its unique geographical location and architectural style attracted me. During the day, you can choose to take a boat tour of Xiang Lake. The boat is on the water, and the surrounding mountains and rivers seem to become agile. Whenever the boat passes a small island or a stone bridge, I feel a poetic picture. When the setting sun is on the lake, the golden light makes Xiang Lake more charming. After nightfall, I chose to stroll by Xiang Lake. Watching a live performance "Xiang Lake Ya Yun" in Xiang Lake opened up another side of this landscape for me. In this quiet night, listening to the sound of water, the sound of wind, and the sound of opera, it is intoxicating. I felt this unique charm and poetry of Xiang Lake. The accommodation experience of Xiang Lake Freedom Manor also impressed me. The hotel's design integrates natural and modern elements, both ancient charm and fashionable atmosphere. The hotel's facilities are complete, whether it is an indoor swimming pool or a children's playground, gym, etc., it makes people feel the warmth and comfort of home. And the photos taken by the outdoor swimming pool at night are even more refreshing. During these three days and two nights of vacation in Hangzhou, I felt an unprecedented relaxation and comfort at Xiang Lake Freedom Manor. There is not only beautiful scenery and comfortable accommodation experience, but also a feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle and returning to nature. I believe that this wonderful time will become one of my unforgettable memories in my life.

#thisischina Holy Moly, I’ve been lots of places in the city and I can tell you that this is such an UNDERRATED piece of heaven located in the south-east of Hangzhou 😍 I was in awe at this picturesque place. Xianghu is known as the sister lake of West Lake. Everything surrounding the lake was incredibly stunning! Lush green plants, flowers, sporadic pavilions, bridges and the mountains! The scenic area is huge! What to do at XiangHu 👇🏼 ➡️ Walk around the lake and over the bridges to explore different corners 🌳🕊💐 ➡️ A boat ride on the lake 🛶 As the lake is big, a boat ride allows you to have a look at different parts surrounding the lake 🤗✨ ➡️ Have a picnic 🧺 I saw many people having picnics, some had tents set up and others were chilling on their mats by the lake while snacking. ➡️ Take pictures 📸 Unlimited opportunities to have great photos there! 💐🌿🌼🍃 ➡️ Fly a kite 🪁 I saw kids having fun flying theirs. ➡️ Ride a bike around the lake! 🚲 It wasn’t easy to spot shared bikes around but some people were enjoying it especially on a warm sunny day! The scenic views are worth it💚 How to go ➡️ Xianghu 湘湖 is the south terminal station of metro 🚇 line 1. Then, take a taxi for about 10 mins to the lake. (The lake is a bit of a distance from the metro) #lake #lakeview #laketour #scenicspot #scenicview #scenicarea #scenicspotguide #mountainview #naturelover #naturescapes #natureexplorer#hangzhouphotospot #hangzhoutravel #hangzhou

It is not the famous place in Hangzhou. It located a little bit far from city center. Public transportation is not convenient. But it is not crowded like Xihu. On autumn it is very beautiful. If you come in mid November, you can see yellow tree. If you come in late November, you can see red tree.

In the bustling city of Hangzhou, there lies a hidden gem, Xiang Lake, like a beauty who has slumbered for thousands of years, waiting for people to unveil her mystique. Today, let's embark on a journey to this magical land and discover its charm. Xiang Lake possesses both the elegance of West Lake and the charm of Jiangnan, a perfect blend of the two. The ancient plank roads, hidden islands, and underwater ancient city make it a picture-perfect destination. Here are three different walking routes. First is the [Classic Route], which takes about 3 hours and guarantees countless likes on your social media posts. Starting from the Cross-Lake Bridge Museum, you'll be treated to stunning views all the way to Hehua Village, where you can take a relaxing ride on a traditional Chinese boat. Then, head to the Yue King City Ruins to explore the traces of history, followed by some leisurely fish-watching at Xiangdi. Finally, end your journey at Jinsha Play Water, a perfect spot for family fun. Next is the [Hidden Wonderland Route], perfect for escaping the crowds. Starting from Qingpu Asking for Chuncai, listen to the morning bells at Xianzhao Temple and embrace the tranquility. Then, experience the unique fishing village life at Laohudong Fishing Village. Afterward, lose yourself in the reed maze of Meishan Island and immerse yourself in nature's embrace. Finally, enjoy a picnic at Laizishan Mountain. Remember to wear your sneakers! Lastly, we have the [Family Fun Route], designed for you and your children to fully enjoy the beauty of Xiang Lake. Starting from Jinsha Play Water Beach, head to the Smart Flower Paradise for some fun-filled playtime. Then, enjoy a barbecue at the RV campsite. Afterward, take a scenic boat ride, passing by the Swan Island feeding spot, where children can get up close and personal with the adorable animals. Now, let's talk about transportation. If you're driving, navigate to [Xiang Lake Jinsha Play Water Parking Lot]. Parking spaces are usually available before 10:00 on weekends. If you prefer the subway, take Line 1 and exit at [Xiang Lake Station, Exit C]. Then, rent a shared bike and cycle for about 15 minutes to reach Hushang Square. If you're taking a taxi, tell the driver to go to "Jinrong Town". This will save you 8 yuan compared to saying "Xiang Lake"! Regarding parking, the fee is 6 yuan/hour, capped at 30 yuan. Charging stations for new energy vehicles are located at Xiang Lake Post House. For a better parking spot, try parking at the "Laohudong Visitor Center", where the parking spaces are shaded by trees. If you dine at "Kaiyuan Senbo Parking Lot", parking is free. However, be aware that the area near "Yuefeng Restaurant" is a one-way street, which can be tricky to navigate. Finally, some information about boat rides. Traditional Chinese boats cost 40 yuan per person, but you can try bargaining for 30 yuan for the last ride at 17:00. For a luxurious experience, rent an electric boat for 200 yuan/hour, which comes with a complimentary serving of the King Yue's secret lotus root starch. Of course, if you prefer free sightseeing, the Xiang Lake Phase III cycling path offers equally stunning views. That concludes our Xiang Lake travel guide. We hope you have a wonderful time here!

When it comes to cherry blossoms, many people love them. They are plants of the genus Cerasus in the Rosaceae family. There are a considerable number of cherry blossom varieties, more than 300, with about 150 wild cherry blossom species worldwide, and more than 50 in China. The flowers often bloom in March, either simultaneously with the leaves or after the leaves have emerged, varying with the seasons. Unlike other flowers, cherry blossoms are quite eye-catching and bloom in early spring. They can be planted on hillsides, in courtyards, along roadsides, and in front of buildings. They can be dotted in clusters of three or five in green spaces, forming beautiful patches; they can also be planted alone, creating a picturesque scene of a single red dot amidst a sea of green; and they can even create a "sea of flowers" landscape. Therefore, they are often used in scenic areas, as roadside trees along small paths, as hedges, or for making bonsai. With the rise of in-depth travel, cherry blossoms have become one of the most popular flowers for viewing! So the question is, where should you go to see cherry blossoms? I recommend you come to see the first wave of "cherry blossoms blooming" in Hangzhou. This March, come to Xianghu Lake to chase the flowers for free! As the temperature rises, the cherry blossoms at Xianghu Lake "bloom overnight," becoming the first beautiful scenery in spring. You can focus on two areas! First, Financial Town Phase II There are a variety of cherry blossom species here, including Somei Yoshino cherry, weeping cherry, early cherry, and late cherry, totaling seven or eight varieties. When the cherry blossoms bloom a bit more, stroll along the roads of Financial Town Phase II, where every step is a scene, and every spot has its own color.

Xianghu Lake is located in Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou City. There are many stories about it in history: it is the place where King Goujian of Yue and King Fuchai of Wu fought, and it is also the place where King Yue slept on firewood and tasted gall.

Today, Xianghu Lake is a national tourist attraction, divided into phases one, two and three. You can visit Xianghu Lake by boat, bike or on foot, but since the lake is so large, it is recommended to visit it by boat. You can visit phases one and two, or phases two and three by boat. The cruise ship will stop at multiple piers, and you can walk around at each pier and then take the next boat after the cruise. The surface of Xianghu Lake is very large, and there are some areas where lotus flowers are planted, which is very beautiful to watch in the summer.

Early spring is suddenly cold, but the warm sun shines down, making people feel warm. The sky is like clear glass, without a trace of clouds, and the sunlight pours down unimpeded, dispelling the lingering cold of winter. Looking at the lake up close, the water is sparkling and clear. Nearby, the sunlight reflects off the water, making it shine like silver, like scattered gold on the lake surface; in the distance, it blends with the blue sky, presenting a deep blue color, deep and tranquil, with the water and sky merging into one. The willows by the lake have soft branches, with new buds just beginning to sprout, dotted with tender green, like emeralds adorning the branches, swaying gracefully in the breeze. On the grass, the grass is just beginning to sprout, tender green and light green, like a green carpet just laid, tender and lovely. Among them are clusters of wildflowers, red like rosy clouds, pink like peach cheeks, yellow like the rising sun, colorful and bright, adorning the green grass, adding a touch of lively beauty to Xianghu Lake. I am intoxicated by this, and everywhere I look, I see spring colors. So I capture it with my camera, wanting to preserve this beauty for later memories. The spring of Xianghu Lake is truly a beautiful sight, making people linger and forget to return.
