Many people come to Hangzhou just to see West Lake But the entire scenic area is really quite large, making it challenging to explore on foot Actually, it's recommended to start early and rent a shared bike Cycling around West Lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery of peach blossoms and green willows This is definitely one of the must-visit spots when traveling to Hangzhou. ✅Cycling route: Children's Palace → North Mountain Street → Yangong Embankment → South Mountain Road → Lakeside (total distance: 14.8 kilometers) Rent a shared bike and begin your "flower-chasing journey" around West Lake. Start from the Children's Palace at 9:00 am, enjoying the floral scenery along the way. Pass by the west side of North Mountain Street, where plane trees and weeping willows form a green tunnel.

Transportation Guide - East Gate: Connected to Su Causeway, accessible by foot only. - South Gate: Connected to Nanshan Road, take a bus to "Su Causeway" station. - West Gate: Connected to Yangong Causeway, take a bus to "Yuhu Bay" station, parking lot is located here. Crabapple Distribution and Viewing Spots - Weeping Crabapple: Mainly found near the Mayor's Grove at Yuhu Bay, around Turtle Pond Flowing Water Bridge, Red Fish Pond and Peony Garden at Flower Harbor, and Hangzhou Flower Nursery's Crabapple Garden. The weeping crabapple trees near Red Fish Pond and Peony Garden may form a "crabapple waterfall" landscape. - Xian Crabapple: Mainly located on the west side of Jiang Villa at Flower Harbor. - North American Crabapple: Primarily distributed in Majiawan and along the green areas near Zhejiang Hotel on Santai Mountain Road. - Chinese Quince and Dwarf Crabapple: Mainly found in front of the South Gate Tea House and near Turtle Pond Flowing Water Bridge.

During daytime, side lighting highlights petal textures, while backlighting creates a glowing effect. - Use branches as natural frames, employ diagonal composition to extend visual depth, and use burst mode to capture petals dancing in the breeze. - In post-processing, reduce saturation, increase shadows, and adjust pink luminance in HSL to enhance photo aesthetics.

Looking down from Baoshi Mountain, West Lake appears like a bronze mirror polished by time, coating Hangzhou's silhouette in a gentle halo. This mirror not only reflects the clouds above North and South Peak but also preserves the military might of the Wuyue Kingdom, the prosperous dreams of Southern Song's Lin'an, and countless literary spirits. As boats break the water's surface, the ripples reveal not just the folds of light and shadow but the shimmering waves of Chinese civilization. The waters of West Lake hold memories. Bai Causeway stretches across the lake like a guitar string, playing Bai Juyi's thousand-year-old lament of "loving the east side of the lake but never having enough." Among the dancing willows of Su Causeway at dawn, one can almost hear the work songs from when Su Shi dredged the lake. This extraordinary figure, "one of a kind in human history," transformed water management wisdom into poetic dwelling through causeway building, establishing West Lake's aesthetic paradigm of "beautiful in both light and heavy makeup." Walking along Yanggong Causeway, Ming Dynasty governor Yang Mengying's lake dredging achievements have transformed into the weeping willows along the shore. In the modern "underwater forest" project, 317,000 square meters of submerged plants weave an emerald brocade beneath the lake, increasing water transparency to 85 centimeters. This ecological relay across time exemplifies the Chinese philosophy of "unity between heaven and humans" - humans never conquered nature but sought coexistence through dialogue with mountains and waters. The stone pagodas of Three Pools Mirroring the Moon stand silent in the twilight, serving both as legendary proof of Lu Ban subduing evil spirits and as masterpieces of Chinese garden aesthetics where "views change with each step." When moonlight passes through the pagoda holes, 33 moon reflections dance on the lake surface, creating an interplay of reality and illusion that aligns with the I Ching philosophy of "yin and yang generating each other." The Crane-Releasing Pavilion on Gushan's northern slope witnessed Lin Hejing's reclusive life with "plum blossoms for wife and cranes for children." This spiritual paradise built by the Northern Song poet became a spiritual harbor for later literati escaping worldliness. On the cliff inscriptions of Xiling Seal Society, Wu Changshuo's iron brush still speaks of seal carving artistry, continuing the tradition of literati gatherings. The kneeling statue of Qin Hui at Yue Fei Temple forms an intriguing contrast with the gold-plated pagoda of the Wuyue Kingdom unearthed beneath Leifeng Pagoda. The former carries the weight of national integrity, while the latter radiates Buddhist artistic brilliance. This blend of strength and gentleness mirrors West Lake's dual character: both turbulent with "rocks piercing the sky" and profound with "still reflections in jade." The legend of Lady White Snake and Xu Xian endures at Broken Bridge, which transcends its geographical significance to become an eternal symbol of love. When visitors lean on the bridge railings gazing into the distance, they see not just waves and clouds but the Chinese eternal pursuit of true love. West Lake's brilliance lies in its ability to rejuvenate through the collision of tradition and modernity. Lakeside Walking Street's glass walls reflect Baochu Pagoda's silhouette, while modern urban footsteps echo on the Southern Song Imperial Street's stone slabs. This fusion of past and present mirrors Hangzhou's spirit - guarding its historical glory as the "Southeast's finest location" while writing new legends in the digital economy. The lotus flowers at Curved Yard and Lotus Pool bloom anew each year. Photographers now use drones instead of traditional ink paintings to capture the "endless green lotus leaves touching the sky." This technological innovation hasn't diminished West Lake's poetic charm but added new aesthetic dimensions to the "Ten Scenes of West Lake." As Zhang Dai wrote in "Tao'an Dreams of Memories": "West Lake's beauty varies - sunny lake yields to rainy lake, rainy lake yields to snowy lake," West Lake's beauty always awaits new discoveries in change. At night, the West Lake Musical Fountain weaves "Butterfly Lovers" melody with laser and mist. When the love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is recreated through modern technology, we witness not just the creative transformation of cultural IP but the vitality of Chinese civilization. This dialogue between tradition and modernity makes West Lake an eternal cultural theater. As visitors depart, boats still cruise the lake. These rowing tourists may not realize they're retracing Bai Juyi's steps along "white sand paths under green willow shade" and continuing Su Shi's elegant tradition of "trying new tea with fresh fire." West Lake's charm lies here: it's both a preserved historical specimen and a flowing river of civilization. When we gaze into this millennial water mirror, we see not just nature's masterwork but the spiritual reflection of Chinese civilization. This reflection transcends time and space, refracting different lights in each observer's heart, keeping West Lake forever young and full of surprises.

After staying at five hotels in Hangzhou, I finally found the perfect example of "hidden in plain sight"—the Rose Garden Resort by Greentown on the banks of the Qiantang River. It's like a secret garden touched by magic, where even the air is fragrant with the scent of Longjing tea. **>> Experience a Downton Abbey Setting** The creamy white domed hall is adorned with crystal chandeliers, and the carved handrails of the spiral staircase gleam with a warm, polished glow. When booking, I specifically requested "a room with a view of the trees," and I was delighted to be upgraded to a garden suite with a private hot tub! The bathroom amenities were from a niche perfumery, and the turndown service included a steam eye mask and a hand-drawn map of Hangzhou nightlife placed on my bedside table. **>> A Culinary Journey Through Two Sides of Jiangnan** The freshly made shrimp wontons at breakfast were so good I raved about them three times. The chef told me the broth was made with water from the Tiger Spring. I highly recommend the hidden menu item, "Longjing cold brew tea with lotus flower pastry." Enjoying it while sitting in the waterside booth, watching the koi swim by, was incredibly relaxing. In the evening, I had a customized dinner in the glass conservatory. The perch rolls with water shield and the crab-stuffed oranges were plated so beautifully they looked like works of art. **>> Unlock the Secrets of Nearby Attractions** 1. Wake up early and ride the hotel's free bicycles for 20 minutes along the Yanggong Causeway to reach Maojiabu. The dark green trees rising into the morning mist are breathtakingly beautiful. 2. Walk eight minutes to the Six Harmonies Pagoda Cultural Park. From the top, you can see a panoramic view of the Qiantang River Bridge. 3. In the afternoon, take a 15-yuan taxi ride to the White Pagoda Park. The green train and cherry blossom tracks are incredibly photogenic. 4. For a night out, I recommend the Qiantang New City light show. There are two shows on weekends, at 7:30pm and 8:30pm. Before checking out, I participated in a traditional handicraft class, where I learned to print Leifeng Pagoda patterns onto silk with the help of an instructor. The finished product can be made into a bookmark to take home. The concierge was incredibly thoughtful. When he heard we were going to Faxi Temple, he reminded us that bus route 1314 is the "love line." As the shuttle bus carried us out through the rose-covered archway, I suddenly understood the saying, "When you recall Jiangnan, you most recall Hangzhou." It turns out that the true essence of Hangzhou lies in the third cup of tea poured for you by the hotel butler. 📍 Greentown · Hangzhou Rose Garden Resort 🔎 No. 128 Zhijiang Road, Xihu District

West Lake in spring is absolutely dreamy!! Even if you miss the cherry blossoms, it's still stunning! If you unfortunately become one of Hangzhou's cherry blossom refugees this year, I recommend copying this half-day itinerary for a crowd-free weekend. You can capture photos of late-blooming cherry blossoms and fields of February orchids. (Don't ask me how I know, I was a cherry blossom refugee myself last year. Visiting Hangzhou around the 20th is a safer bet.) Citywalk Route: Wugui Lake → Yanggong Causeway → Maojiabu (Wugui Lake and Maojiabu are both loops around the lake, you can choose the best sections to walk.) Must-sees: Wugui Lake: Near He Zesanchun, there are late-blooming cherry blossoms, thatched cottages, and a small waterfall. Yanggong Causeway February Orchid Path Maojiabu: Daise Cantian - Fanggui Pavilion, the February orchids are mainly in this section. There are some restaurants near Maojiabu. Estimated time: 2–3 hrs

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Note: It is recommended to arrange the Jiuxi Yanshu in the first half of the trip, because the scenery here is the most beautiful and you can appreciate its beauty more when you are energetic. The 10-li Langyao section from Longjing to Meijiawu is not recommended for people with poor physical strength. I think the scenery is average. If the weather is good, the sun will be very hot. Friends who take the 2nd and 3rd routes can rest and adjust in Longjing Village, eat, drink tea and rest🍵. Except for the 8 yuan ticket for Yunqi Bamboo Trail (free with park card), all other attractions are free and do not require tickets. ️

If you want to avoid the crowds at the Broken Bridge, head to Yuhuwan Bay, a beautiful park loved by locals. Location: Hangzhou, Yuhuwan Bay Transportation: • From Hangzhou East Railway Station, take Metro Line 1 to Huanglongdong Station (Exit E), then transfer to a bus to Chishanbu Station. • If you want to see the sunrise and morning mist, we recommend driving or taking a taxi. Recommended route: Xianhu Pavilion → Wuzhuangyuan Archway → Jihong Bridge → Jihongxie → Yang Causeway → Prince Bay Park Tips: • In winter, the light is better after 7:15 am, the air is fresh, and there is often morning mist on the lake, making it perfect for photos. • The best time to photograph the sunset through the bridge is 3:15–4:00 pm. • We recommend spending 1–2 hours here. Visit in the morning to avoid the crowds. • Nearby attractions include Wuguitan, Yu Qian Temple, Huiyin Gaoli Temple, and Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor. You can also climb to the top of Jiuyao Mountain for a panoramic view of West Lake. • In early winter, remember to keep warm. Yuhuwan Bay is famous for its rowboats, stone bridges, and long corridors. It's a great place for photos and well worth a visit.

I thought Su Causeway was beautiful enough until I went to Yanggong Causeway... There are three embankments in West Lake: Su Causeway, Bai Causeway and Yanggong Causeway. When you come to visit West Lake, those who know the area will tell you that the beauty of West Lake is in the west, and the west line is the magic of West Lake. Yanggong Causeway is located on the west side of the West Lake, roughly parallel to Su Causeway. It is the only vehicular road among the three embankments of West Lake. It starts from Hupao Road in the south and ends at Beishan Road in the north. ◆Yanggong Dike connects the locals' favorite scenic spots, which are distributed on both sides of the road. It is sparsely populated and quiet. Every step you take is a beautiful scene. It is picturesque in all seasons. You can get the beauty of Jiangnan in a minute. Recommend a classic route to visit Yanggong Dike Prince Bay Park Yuhe Bay Turtle Pond Maojiabu Guo Hangzhou Flower Garden Quyuan Fenghe transportation: 1. Enter from Prince Bay Park, take bus No. 4, No. 87, No. 1314 to Sudi Station and enter Prince Bay Park 2. Enter from Quyuan Fenghe, take bus No. 7, 7w, 27, 277, or 510 and get off at Yuefen. Quyuan Fenghe is opposite Yuewang Temple (north side of Su Causeway) The entire hiking trip, including taking photos, eating, and resting, takes about 5 to 6 hours.

Wow! Free travel in Zhejiang with a Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed rail ticket! West Lake in Hangzhou is beautiful all year round, but I especially love it in autumn. When the north has already entered winter, the autumn colors in the south of the Yangtze River are still strong. Leisurely strolling along Yanggong Causeway & Su Causeway, the trees on both sides have put on their autumn costumes, red, yellow, and green are intertwined and colorful. At sunset, this is the most beautiful moment of West Lake. The afterglow of the setting sun gently sprinkled on the lake, and the entire West Lake was dyed golden in an instant, warm and unrestrained.
