The West Lake is beautiful whether adorned with heavy makeup or light makeup.

I once had a layover in Hangzhou for a day, but the rain was too heavy to visit the West Lake. This time, I decided to stay an extra day in Hangzhou to try my luck, hoping to see the scenery when the rain curtain lifts, to witness the changing faces and atmosphere of the West Lake from day to night, and to experience why ancient and modern poets and writers are so inspired to create when they come here. "The water and mountains are always beautiful, whether in sunshine or rain, always intriguing," perhaps this is the charm of the West Lake. Located in the west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with layers of peaks and ridges. This time, I visited the West Lake during a weekend holiday and was lucky enough to enjoy the laser music fountain show. The West Lake at dusk is bustling, with people dressed in Tang Dynasty costumes taking photos by the lake, giving a feeling of traveling through time and space. "I cannot bear to leave Hangzhou, half of my heart is captivated by this lake" - Bai Juyi, "Spring on the Lake" "In terms of scenic beauty, the West Lake truly holds a place in the world. The mountain views and the water colors have a unique charm that makes one fall in love." - Xu Zhimo, "Ugly West Lake". From the works of both ancient and modern poets, we can see that the beauty of the West Lake transcends time. 💞 Recommended reason: You can take a painted boat to tour the lake, with stops for strolling and sightseeing. 🗓️ Itinerary: One day, with a visit to Qinghefang to buy famous Hangzhou snacks.
