Hangzhou has launched the Bus + Culture & Tourism "Qiyouji Lingxi Hangzhou Route," a brand-new bus-and-boat adventure around West Lake. Departing from Lingyin Terminal, the dedicated bus takes you straight to the heart of the lake area, where hassle-free transfers link seamlessly to sightseeing boats. A guide accompanies the journey, sharing West Lake’s history, legends, and cultural gems so you can fully appreciate its poetic charm.
The star attraction is the dual land-and-water perspective: travel by bus along classic routes such as Yanggong Causeway and Su Causeway, where every window view feels like a framed painting. Then switch to a boat for close-up vistas of signature sights like Three Pools Mirroring the Moon and Leifeng Pagoda, enjoying the sensation of gliding through a living landscape. Depending on the season, your guide will point out the best photo spots—from lotus blooms at Quyuan Garden in summer to phoenix trees along Beishan Street in fall—meeting every aesthetic desire.
Forget the headache of driving and parking. Instead, roam West Lake with ease, savoring its timeless elegance alongside the convenience of modern transport. Whether you’re on a family outing, a romantic stroll with your partner, or a solo escape, this route offers a carefree and distinctive way to explore. Hop aboard the Lingxi Hangzhou Route and unlock West Lake’s poetry and cool breezes!
