For those little sisters who are traveling to Hangzhou during the holiday, Yi Yi has prepared a Hangzhou travel guide for you all, full of practical tips. Hope it can help everyone, and if you're interested, hurry up and save it! Hangzhou Travel Tips: 1. Before going out, be sure to check the weather forecast and choose appropriate clothing according to the weather. Also, carry an umbrella with you, just in case, as it's easy to rain recently! 2. Although the sun is shining in April, the ultraviolet rays are still very strong, so be sure to bring sunscreen. 3. Do not go to West Lake on weekends, otherwise, you will find it's extremely crowded and congested. 4. When in Hangzhou, you must try Dongpo pork, a dish that is fatty but not greasy, with a fragrance that is very appealing. 5. Hangzhou has many beautiful ancient water towns in the Jiangnan area. If you don't have much time, just pick one or two to stroll around and enjoy. Hangzhou Attractions Guide: 1. West Lake This is the treasure of Hangzhou, listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Its beauty comes from the lake, bridges, islands, and surrounding greenery. Visitors can walk along the lakeside road by West Lake to enjoy the view. 2. Wuzhen A thousand-year-old ancient town, known as the most beautiful water town in Jiangnan, and famed as the land of fish and rice and the home of silk. 3. Xixi Wetland A place to relax and feel the charm of nature by taking a leisurely walk. 4. Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Take a water bus on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to experience the gentleness of the Jiangnan water towns. Thousand Island Lake is named for the more than 1,000 islands scattered throughout the lake, where you can enjoy the lake view, fish, row boats, and participate in various water activities. 5. Xitang Ancient Town There are many Hanfu photography studios. Sisters who like Hanfu can rent costumes and have fun taking photos with fans and oil-paper umbrellas to get even better shots.

Wuzhen: Osmanthus Cake, Boat Head Cake, Wuzhen Soy Sauce Duck, all of these are delicacies in Hangzhou that you shouldn't miss!

The peach blossoms are in full bloom at West Lake, creating a picturesque scene. Don't miss out on this romantic occasion.|||With the arrival of spring, Hangzhou's West Lake welcomes the annual peach blossom season. At this time, West Lake is like a beautiful girl dressed in a pink cheongsam, resembling a beautiful painting. Strolling along the lake, you are surrounded by a sea of pink. The peach blossoms are vying for beauty, intoxicating the onlookers. Along the paths, couples walk hand in hand, snuggling up to each other, enjoying the romance and warmth. Children also run around here, playing to their heart's content in this wonderful season. There are the sounds of gentle water, the joyful chirping of birds, and the fragrance of peach blossoms in the air. All of this makes one feel relaxed and joyful, as if they are in a beautiful world, bringing a sense of comfort and happiness. Hangzhou's West Lake is a place filled with poetry and romance, especially during the peach blossom season, it has a unique charm. Hurry to West Lake, feel the romance, and enjoy the beauty!

West Lake, it's truly beautiful to the extreme, no matter which season you come, you can appreciate the different charming scenery, and it's never enough! Here is a one-day tour itinerary specially crafted for tourists, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely tour around West Lake in one day, both relaxing and full of beautiful views. After exiting from Exit C of the Wushan Square subway station, head towards Liulang Wenying, where it's quiet with fewer people and not noisy. Then head to the Qianwang Temple pier to take a boat to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, 55 yuan per person, no reservation needed, just scan the code to buy a ticket, which includes the island entrance ticket and round-trip boat ticket, and it's more cost-effective than buying at Hubin Park. It takes about 15 minutes by boat to reach Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, a great place to take photos that match the 1 yuan RMB note. Then take a boat from Three Pools Mirroring the Moon to the Flower Harbor to watch fish. If you still have energy, you can take a stroll to see the red carp pond, and the lovely mandarin ducks and ducks. Afterwards, from Flower Harbor, you can choose to walk to Jingci Temple or Leifeng Pagoda. Leifeng Pagoda and Jingci Temple are just across the street from each other, just choose one to visit. Jingci Temple ticket is 10 yuan, Leifeng Pagoda ticket is 40 yuan, I personally recommend Jingci Temple for its tranquil atmosphere. From the higher places of the temple, you can also take pictures of Leifeng Pagoda. Next, you can take the West Lake outer ring bus from Leifeng Pagoda to Xiling Bridge, or take a sightseeing car through the Su Causeway to Yuewang Temple, then walk towards Xiling Bridge. However, the Su Causeway section is two to three kilometers long, and although the scenery is beautiful, I really don't recommend walking the whole way, it will be exhausting! Xiling Bridge, known as Hangzhou's most beautiful corner, where you can also enjoy the lake and mountain scenery. If you happen to catch the sunset, the 'orange sea' like scenery will appear before your eyes. Then ride from Xiling Bridge to the Broken Bridge, along the way you can enjoy the scenery of Beishan Street, and there are really a lot of people at the Broken Bridge. The Broken Bridge is the last stop of the West Lake tour, it's just an ordinary bridge, if you still have energy you can continue walking forward. After the tour, you can take a bus back to Hubin Yintai, have dinner nearby, or try different delicacies on Fengqi Road, such as the famous Hang Seng Sisters or Golden Pig Restaurant. After dinner, you can also enjoy the West Lake musical fountain at 7:30 pm. Around West Lake, there are many delicacies worth trying, such as West Lake Vinegar Fish, with tender fish meat paired with a unique sweet and sour sauce, it's unforgettable; Longjing Shrimp, where the aroma of tea and the freshness of shrimp blend perfectly, the taste is indescribably delicious; there's also Beggar's Chicken, Dongpo Pork, etc. Along the way, there are also many specialty snacks that will satisfy your taste buds. In short, come to West Lake and enjoy this wonderful time!

【Drunk Beautiful West Lake·In-depth Tour】The West Lake in Hangzhou, a paradise on earth, is the perfect interpretation of a poetic journey. 🌟【The Scenery of West Lake, Poetic and Picturesque】 West Lake in Hangzhou, a scenic area listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, is a dazzling pearl of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. With the change of seasons, there is Su Causeway in spring dawn, Quyuan Fenghe in summer, Pinghu Qiuyue in autumn, and Broken Bridge in winter snow, each frame seems to step out of ancient paintings, making people linger and forget to return. Boating on the lake, looking at the reflection of Leifeng Pagoda in the distance, and hearing the joy of fish watching at Flower Harbor, one experiences the poetic life of 'Comparing West Lake to Xi Shi, light or heavy makeup is always appropriate'. 📍【Highlights of the Scenic Spots Revealed One by One】 There are ten scenic spots in West Lake, each with its own characteristics, among which the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, Su Causeway in spring dawn, and Broken Bridge in winter snow should not be missed. Stroll along the Su Causeway, feel the charm of the lake and mountains intertwined with historical culture; reach the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, watch the fantastic scene of the lake reflecting the moon at night; step on the Broken Bridge in winter, and look forward to a romantic encounter after the snow. In addition, there are places like Yue Temple, Gushan, and Lingyin Temple, where the profound historical and cultural heritage is awe-inspiring. 📅【One-Day Essence Itinerary Suggestion】 In the morning, you can enjoy the West Lake under the dawn at Lakeside Park, then take a boat to visit the small Yingzhou in the lake, and appreciate the beauty of the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. At noon, taste the authentic Hangzhou cuisine at Louwailou, and after the meal, take a leisurely walk along the Su Causeway to Quyuan Fenghe, feeling the beauty of the summer lotus. In the evening, climb up to the Gem Hill to overlook the panoramic view of West Lake, and finally enjoy tea and admire the moon at a teahouse by the lake, ending a day's journey. 🚗【Convenient Transportation Strategy】 Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport is about 30 kilometers from West Lake, and you can take an airport bus or taxi, which takes about 1 hour to reach. The subway lines 1, 2, and 4 in Hangzhou city have stations close to West Lake, which is very convenient. Friends who drive can choose to park in nearby parking lots, such as Yongjinmen Parking Lot, Youth Palace Parking Lot, etc., and then walk or cycle around the lake. 🎁【Travel Tips】 Most areas of the West Lake scenic area are open for free, and some attractions such as Yue Temple, Leifeng Pagoda, etc. require tickets to enter. The number of tourists is relatively small in the early morning and evening, which is suitable for photography enthusiasts to capture the beauty of West Lake under different lights and shadows. In addition, it is recommended to carry light rain gear, after all, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is also an indispensable part of West Lake. The beauty of West Lake lies not only in nature but also in culture. An in-depth tour allows you not only to enjoy the lake and mountains but also to deeply feel the cultural charm that has been deposited over a thousand years.

#cherryblossom2024 🌸 Hangzhou I West Lake's most beautiful little secret place~The only remaining cherry blossom in the bridge cave 2. Compared to the crowded wind load in Quyuan, the cherry blossoms in the bridge cave in Maojiabu, avoiding 99% of pedestrian traffic, and the quiet corner in the bustling city, the overuse of orchids in February is flourishing. A small boat paddles over the cherry blossoms and reflects them on the ripples. How can one not fall in love? Qiaodong cherry blossoms and Daise towering in the same frame, determine the colors of the spring day. There is hope at sunrise, thought at sunset, anticipation in the heart, and busyness without blurring.

May's West Lake is truly breathtaking!!! Every scenic spot is so beautiful, it's impossible to choose the best photos. Hangzhou is just too gorgeous. Our one-day tour was a quick glimpse of the beauty + Hua Gang Guan Yu, Turtle Pool, Longjing Village, and Nine Creeks in Misty Forest. The only regret is that we didn't have time for a rowboat ride. We were in a hurry to go eat, but next time, we will definitely come specifically for a boat ride!!! On the way to Turtle Pool, the photos we took were incredibly beautiful. Don't miss this spot, girls!!! A day away from the hustle and bustle made me feel like my soul was purified. Walking, stopping, taking photos, and enjoying the flowers can really cure all unhappiness (except for a bit of soreness in the soles of the feet). Being close to nature feels like it elevates your energy field! Delicacies: Guosheng Tea House's farmhouse dishes (I recommend the shrimp and chicken soup, it's sweet and so so so delicious!) The lady boss said she had been simmering it for three to four hours and also thoughtfully prepared some freshly picked new tea!! Travel tips!: Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring mosquito repellent. If you're going on a boat, you can wear a set of modern Chinese-style clothes for better photos! I hope everyone has a great time
