One-day West Lake Itinerary

We spent three days and two nights in Hangzhou this time, and found that West Lake is very different from the parks in Guangzhou. It has a different charm, different scenery, and different culture. Many famous people in history have left their footprints here, so it can be said that West Lake has a much deeper cultural heritage. The scenery around the lake is beautiful, and the ten scenes of West Lake are all well-deserved. I personally think that the most beautiful place in this season is Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor, where there are pavilions, bridges, streams, lakes, and many maple trees. The leaves are red at this time, and many people are taking travel photos in various costumes. If you have good physical strength, I highly recommend walking around the lake, because the scenery here is very dense, and you will miss a lot of beautiful spots if you take a car. No wonder Su Shi liked Hangzhou so much, he often went boating on West Lake and wrote the famous line "The West Lake looks like the fair lady at her best, whether she is richly adorned or plainly dressed." I started my West Lake tour from Beishan Street to watch the sunrise, and then went to Broken Bridge after the sunset. I walked along Bai Causeway, passing by the ten scenes of West Lake, such as Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake, Zhejiang Museum, Xiling Society of Seal Arts, Gushan Road, etc. After crossing Xiling Bridge, I left Gushan Island, and at the other end of the bridge is the tomb of the famous courtesan Su Xiaoxiao. Then I continued to Quyuan Garden, Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor, Prince Bay, Leifeng Pagoda, and then to Jixian Pavilion to watch the sunset. The day's itinerary ended perfectly, but it was a bit tiring. Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor
