你是俺的唯一Strolling along West Lake is like stepping into a flowing ink painting scroll. In the morning, the willows along Bai Causeway sway gently, the wind rippling the lake's surface. Occasionally, travelers in Hanfu pause by the Broken Bridge, as if recreating a scene from a legend. Take a painted boat to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, holding a one-yuan note to capture the same view, while the fragrance of lotus blossoms wafts from the Nine-Bend Bridge. In the afternoon, stroll along Su Causeway, where Yingbo Bridge and Suolan Bridge connect the lake and mountains, and in the distance, Leifeng Pagoda stands serenely on the lakeside, its splendor enhanced by the lights at dusk. If you prefer tranquility, find a bench along Yanggong Causeway, watch the fallen leaves dance in the wind, and listen to the distant Nanping Evening Bell. The beauty of West Lake lies in the fusion of nature and culture. Whether cycling, boating, or leisurely enjoying tea, it allows you to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in the poetic beauty of this "paradise on earth."

Anonymous userGreat show, and it can be a wonderful day to spend with families. However, NPCs only appear at certain times, and we didn’t see any NPCs interacting with us to exchange the ancient money. It was too crowded with many group tours, which affected the overall visiting experience. Some people performed the 'Train to Busan' show while attempting to enter the theatre.

maz***83It's a 10-minute boat ride from Wugongzhi Wharf to Putuoshan Island. The island is quite large, and a day is only enough time to visit a portion of the attractions. It's very crowded and has many incense burners, but the environment is beautiful. There are shuttle buses and cable cars available. However, it can be quite tiring after a day there.

浪淘沙carolAlthough it was crowded, the order was good. With its Jiangnan charm and centuries-old history, it's a must-visit place in Hangzhou. It's also the season when autumn colors are beginning to bloom in full glory; it's beautiful.

M72***72The South Gate plank road was under repair, so we entered from the North Entrance of the scenic area and hiked up the steps, taking about three hours to reach the summit. On the mountain, we walked along the cliffside plank road to admire various scenic spots, including the South Heaven Peak, Guanyin Peak, Ruyi Bridge, Wolong Bridge, Yuanmeng Bridge, and Kaitianpidi (a popular tourist attraction), which also took about two to three hours. We enjoyed the scenery and rested. There were also KFC, Bawangchaji (a popular tea shop), and other beverage and snack shops on the mountain. Shenxianju (a scenic spot) is breathtaking and well worth a visit.

Anonymous userThe ultimate romance of Jiangnan water towns lies in Xizha! Bluestone paths connect ancient Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, over 70 stone bridges span the waterways, and the blue-dyed fabrics from the Caomu Natural Color Dyehouse sway in the breeze. Take a night cruise on a traditional rowboat, where lantern reflections ripple on the water, and the White Lotus Pagoda's nighttime view is dreamlike. Enjoy morning tea with fresh wontons, tender and flavorful mutton noodles, and sweet and soft Ding Sheng cake. Wake to the ancient town shrouded in mist, tranquil and elegant; at night, admire its dazzling lights—an immersive experience that will leave you wanting more!

dreisteinThe scenery was okay, but not amazing. I specifically tried the organic fish head from Tianmu Lake, but to be honest, it wasn't as delicious as the fish head from Tianmu Lake itself. It's alright for a relaxing stroll and sightseeing.

118***72The room is really nice! I stay here every time I come here. The price-performance ratio is really high. It's also very close to the train station. The receptionists are very nice, and there are convenient dining options. Overall, it's great value for money.

E17***14You absolutely must go from Fangdong to Lingyan. You can take a cable car up from Fangdong, and the mountain path isn't tiring. Lingyan, on the other hand, is entirely a staircase path; if you're not physically fit, it's best not to go from Lingyan. (There's no cable car at Lingyan.) The Cloud Time Cliff Cafe in Fangdong is very photogenic. It's a great place to rest, have coffee, and take pictures. The suspended iron suspension bridge is the only way to connect Fangdong and Lingyan scenic areas. I'm afraid of heights, but after crossing it, I didn't find it as scary as I imagined. It was manageable. Trying a little thrill can be a great experience.

牛牛魔王88To be honest, I don't know much about it; I just looked around, took some pictures of the architecture, and had high expectations, so I guess I was a little disappointed? It's acceptable, after all, protecting ancient books requires some effort from us.
