A peaceful and comfortable city walk

🌟West Lake is a must-see when visiting Hangzhou.

However, the beautiful hidden gems around the lake are often overlooked. We sincerely recommend setting aside a day to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a peaceful city walk.

🚶**City walk route**:
- **Start**: Orioles Singing in the Willows
- **Pass by**: Wansong Academy, Hupao Park, Lian Temple
- **End**: Han Meilin Art Museum

🌳**Attractions**:
- **🔶Orioles Singing in the Willows**: This green paradise is a great place to take photos. Navigate to "Henghe Bridge" to find this hidden photo spot. You can also stroll along the lake and enjoy the tranquility.

- **🔶Wansong Academy**: First, head to Baishen Feidu. The aerial walkway offers a great view for photography enthusiasts. Then, head to Wansong Academy and feel the fusion of ancient charm and culture. The place is even more mysterious on rainy days.

- **🔶Hupao Park**: This is a peaceful park with a great atmosphere. The spring water is sweet and refreshing, and many visitors come here to take some home. Relax your mind and soul here.

- **🔶Lian Temple**: Compared to the crowded Lingyin Temple, Lian Temple is a peaceful paradise. Feel the solemnity and tranquility of Buddhist culture here.

- **🔶Han Meilin Art Museum**: This art museum is hidden in the botanical garden, and the giant Buddha head sculpture is a popular photo spot. We recommend visiting early to avoid the crowds and enjoy the art and nature.

📣**Tips**: Please remember to protect the environment and respect the local culture.
