West Lake not so beautiful during Wet Weather

So got the opportunity to visit the famous west lake of Hangzhou city in Zhejiang province. This famed lake had won the hearts of many from China and foreigners. But unfortunately I caught a bad day of wet weather which doesn't give the charm that the lake presents to many. Although with haze, humidity and fog over the lake, it does add some mystique to the scenery. #Hangzhou #westlake #boats

Recommended Hangzhou West Lake tour route.

The earliest "Ten Scenes of West Lake" originated from the Southern Song Dynasty. The ancients summarized the ten most beautiful landscapes of West Lake, including: Su Causeway in Spring Dawn, Broken Bridge in Snow, Quyuan Garden in Lotus Wind, Huagang Fish Watching, Orioles Singing in the Willows, Leifeng Pagoda in Evening Glow, Three Ponds Mirroring the Moon, Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake, Evening Bell Ringing at the Nanping Hill, and Twin Peaks Piercing the Clouds. Starting from the Broken Bridge (Broken Bridge in Snow), along the Bai Causeway (Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake) to (Quyuan Garden in Lotus Wind), passing Gushan, and then turning to Su Causeway (Su Causeway in Spring Dawn). Along Su Causeway, there is a wharf where you can take a boat to Xiaoyingzhou to see (Three Ponds Mirroring the Moon). Turning right on Su Causeway is (Huagang Fish Watching), and the colorful koi in the pond are very beautiful. After visiting Huagang Fish Watching, you can go back to Leifeng Pagoda. The current Leifeng Pagoda is rebuilt on the original site. The rebuilt Leifeng Pagoda is not restored as it was, but a very modern tower is built. There are tower base ruins inside, especially the legendary story of boxwood carving is very beautiful. At this time, it is also close to dusk, so you can watch (Leifeng Pagoda in Evening Glow) and go to Jingci Temple (Evening Bell Ringing at the Nanping Hill) to enjoy the peace in the lingering bell sound. The above are nine of the ten scenes. There is another scene (Twin Peaks Piercing the Clouds) on the west side of West Lake. The two pagodas on the south and north peaks of Tianmu Mountain separated by West Lake. As time goes by, the two pagodas have disappeared, leaving only a beautiful void.

Crowded with people, West Lake during the National Day holiday is more crowded than the lake itself.

A day in Hangzhou to see the West Lake, a myriad of dreams

✨Memories of Jiangnan | Summer Travel Guide to Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area 🎈Check-in Point 1: Broken Bridge Remnant Snow The place where Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen met. Although you can't see snow in summer, the scenery by the bridge is still absolutely beautiful, with the lake's water rippling and perfect for photos. 🎈Check-in Point 2: Quyuan Fenghe A pond full of blooming lotuses, with a gentle breeze bringing waves of fragrance, making you feel like you're in a fairyland. 🎈Check-in Point 3: Three Pools Mirroring the Moon You can take a boat to the island to admire the three stone pagodas in the lake. When the lights in the pagodas light up at night, it has a unique charm. 🎈Check-in Point 4: Leifeng Pagoda At sunset, the silhouette of Leifeng Pagoda is particularly enchanting, and you can overlook the entire beautiful scenery of West Lake. Thanks to the recommendation from a local Hangzhou resident, their Hangzhou cuisine is super authentic: Discovered a must-eat Hangzhou cuisine restaurant by the West Lake. It's impressive to treat friends here, the environment is comfortable, and the key is that Wu Ji Restaurant's Hangzhou cuisine is super authentic, with a genuine Jiangnan flavor. √ Iron Pot Baked Prawns A signature dish that every table must order. Each fresh prawn is covered with garlic, emitting a fragrant aroma. The prawn meat is bouncy and flavorful, perfectly blending with the garlic, making it delicious and hard to stop eating. √ Ice Cream Crème Brûlée The crème brûlée is covered with butter, looking very appetizing. It tastes soft and sweet, paired with cool vanilla ice cream, offering a rich texture and sweetness that reaches the heart. √ Crispy Duck Roasted to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just right. The duck meat is firm, with two dipping sauces to choose from, each flavor is delicious, and every bite is filled with happiness. Finally, I recommend a travel route for everyone: West Lake is very large, and walking the entire 10km route is particularly tiring. Especially for family trips, bringing parents or girls with poor stamina, it is recommended not to walk the entire route. Since the West Lake sightseeing car travels clockwise, I have summarized a walking + cycling + sightseeing car + boat route for everyone to easily check in the ten scenic spots of West Lake. Exit from Longxiang Bridge Exit C ➡️ Zhiwei Guan Breakfast ➡️ Orioles Singing in the Willows ➡️ Three Pools Mirroring the Moon ➡️ Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor ➡️ Evening Bell at Nanping Hill ➡️ Leifeng Pagoda in the Sunset ➡️ Dawn on the Su Causeway ➡️ Quyuan Fenghe ➡️ Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake ➡️ Broken Bridge Remnant Snow ➡️ Wulin Night Market Dinner Summary: As a landmark scenic spot in Hangzhou, West Lake is incredibly beautiful, but it also requires adequate preparation. Sun protection, hydration, mosquito repellent, and cooling measures are small details that can make your trip to West Lake more enjoyable and comfortable!

Notes on West Lake||"To compare West Lake to Xi Shi, light or heavy makeup always suits her

". ||"To compare West Lake to Xi Shi, light or heavy makeup always suits her.".🍉🍊🍓 In the misty drizzle, holding a small umbrella, I walk along the shore of West Lake towards the Broken Bridge in the remaining snow, taking in the full view of West Lake, like a veiled lady, her smiles and frowns faintly discernible. 🎋🌾🍃 The lake is vast, the mist is hazy, occasionally mandarin ducks play in the water, sinking and floating, truly joyful. On the shore, passersby and strangers either take photos to commemorate or stop to admire, no noise of car horns, only a quiet and beautiful solitude remains. 🌼🌺🌸 The architecture along the shore is ancient and elegant, with golden years, black tiles and white walls, bamboo pavilions, century-old shops, each with its own decoration, all revealing refinement. 🍑🍒🌽 On the Broken Bridge, a few people come and go, looking into the distance, slightly desolate. The willows are sparse, swaying in the wind, as if to retain the passersby, as if to express their melancholy; a place of demotion, a life of disappointment, fallen from high mountains, never giving up on oneself, drinking and lamenting, accusing the heavens, clouds covering the sun, powerless. Drunk, people leave with resentment, ephemeral as mayflies, a life of poverty with no recourse; sober, people wander in confusion, a mountain of books, where to seek the answer to the enigma. 🍀🌴☘️ The bridge ends and the road goes straight, leading to the exit, with a fork in the road to the heart of the lake island, where peach blossoms are everywhere, too beautiful for words, dazzling, making one linger and forget to return, time slips away, a fleeting moment, dusk approaches, arriving at a small pavilion, as if it were yesterday's life, going round and round, still on the small island in the heart of the lake. 🤔🤔🤔 Time is frozen, life's changes are decreed by heaven, actions are determined by oneself. Poets and scholars, young and frivolous, with lofty aspirations and boundless passion, entering the officialdom, repeatedly hitting walls, harboring resentment, hard to bear, writing furiously, offering remonstrations, until being demoted, sent to local administration, for the country, is it submerging talent? For oneself, is it squandering youth? History has already answered. 🙃🙃🙃 Without understanding, do not speculate, without achieving the result, do not easily give up; with worries and thoughts, do not seek sympathy from others, with beliefs and concepts, do not engage in sophistry with others; compete with oneself, follow one's own principles, regulate one's own words and deeds, overcome one's own shortcomings, surpass one's own past, and win against oneself in the future. 🌲🌵🌳 As night falls and vision blurs, although the direction is unknown, move forward with determination, the road may be winding, but it will eventually lead to the exit. Flowers fall yet remain proud, life is short, the scenery here is uniquely beautiful; clouds part and the moon shines like dawn, in a hurry to travel, the mind henceforth wanders freely.

Graduation season brings beauty to Hangzhou with this West Lake hiking route

The first time I came to West Lake, I was discouraged by the dense crowd on the Broken Bridge. The second time, I traveled off-peak, still starting from the Broken Bridge. Blessed with clear weather, the blue lake water lifted my spirits! ►The area of West Lake is very large. If it's your first visit, I would recommend hiking this route, which takes about 4 hours. It is the most classic and scenic part of West Lake, beautiful in all four seasons: Broken Bridge - Xiling Bridge - Su Causeway - Orioles Singing in the Willows ▪Broken Bridge: Those who watched 'The Legend of the White Snake' in their childhood would definitely want to visit this fateful meeting place. You can start your hike from here. ▪Xiling Bridge: Continue along Gushan Road, enjoying the lake view, until you reach the most beautiful bend of West Lake. You can locate 'Xiling Bridge Station' and look back at the breathtaking view. The coming and going of bus 1314 is also a sight to see. ▪Su Causeway: From Xiling Bridge, head west to the most famous causeway of West Lake, Su Causeway! The 3-kilometer-long Su Causeway is a must-walk! In the fourth year of Yuanyou of the Northern Song Dynasty (1089), the poet Su Shi (Su Dongpo), while serving as the governor of Hangzhou, dredged West Lake and used the excavated silt to construct the causeway. It has evolved over time and is the only passage connecting the north and south shores, crossing the entire lake area, and offering the best views of the entire lake. ▪Orioles Singing in the Willows: If you still have energy after the Su Causeway, continue eastward to experience another beauty of West Lake at Orioles Singing in the Willows! True to its name, the willows along the lake sway in the wind, and amidst the birdsong and fragrance of flowers, it is the most precious leisure spot in the city center! ►Recommended time: Start hiking at 9 am or after 1 pm ►Transportation: Bus or ride-hailing service

The romantic fairy tale of West Lake, it's snowing heavily in Hangzhou

Coming from Beishan Street and walking through the White Causeway, the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, looking back at the faintly visible Broken Bridge Remnant Snow, I finally understand the origin of the name 'Broken Bridge Remnant Snow'. Although it's early morning, it seems that the rapidly changing temperature has been thrown out of the clouds, as if I am in the silver-dressed romantic fairy tale world of West Lake, shocking‼️ This was taken in February 2022📷, but the feeling at that time is still fresh in memory. Avoiding the peak crowd, taking advantage of the increasingly thick snowflakes❄️, wandering all the way in the heart of West Lake, a few flat boats on the lake, swaying, as if in a fairyland, counting the footprints👣 just covered with layers of snow on the road, guessing that I am the how many people step into this extraordinary place, (haha shy). About taking pictures📷: 1️⃣Some people ask, why is the white particularly conspicuous in the picture, as if the camera is broken, I smile and say to my friend, no no no! The flash is on, just to show the details of the snowflakes; 2️⃣Actually, most of the time when taking pictures, it's a 16:9 picture, and it seems to lose some flavor after cropping, and the vertical format is more casual; 3️⃣From the White Causeway all the way to Gushan Park, turn back and go to the outside building, I can't move my feet, this heavy snow has been long awaited, under the contrast of few pedestrians, as my friend said, it's extremely romantic, so I also took it in 4️⃣The snow kept falling at that time, or mainly enjoying the snow scene of West Lake, holding a large umbrella, also to better protect the camera, and can resist some cold. When I got to Xiling Bridge, it was almost nine o'clock, and the vehicles and pedestrians gradually became congested, so I moved on to the next destination. I want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate. Indeed, the fairy tale world of West Lake in the heavy snow is also a unique one. It's important to go out and play in the snow‼️Keeping warm is also important, without heavy burdens, a thermos cup, a small camera, an umbrella and a mobile phone are all, go out lightly. It has also cooled down during this period, looking forward to the heavy snow in Hangzhou again!
