Arriving here, I've witnessed the breathtaking beauty of spring by the West Lake in Hangzhou

The West Lake State Guesthouse covers an area of 360,000 square meters, and its predecessor was 'Liu Zhuang,' one of the 'Four Famous Villas' in Hangzhou. It was built in 1898 as the residence of Liu Xuewen, a Qing Dynasty imperial scholar; the rear courtyard was designed by the renowned designer Dai Nianci, enjoying a 2-kilometer lakeshore line. It is known as 'Hangzhou West Lake State Guesthouse·The Premier Garden by the West Lake,' and can be described as the 'West Lake within the West Lake.' 📍Location: Hangzhou West Lake State Guesthouse·The Premier Garden by the West Lake, No. 18 Yanggong Causeway, West Lake District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province Transportation: ✈️Xiaoshan International Airport, about 55 minutes by car 🚅Hangzhou Railway Station - exit, 🚗about 25 minutes by car Hangzhou East Railway Station, about 30 minutes by car Tickets: Free reservation through the 'West Lake State Guesthouse' official WeChat account, otherwise accommodation or afternoon tea payment is required for entry Time: According to reservation 📸Photography Tips: 1️⃣In the morning, backlighting makes flowers appear more translucent.
