I can't imagine how romantic it would be to visit West Lake with you

🌸West Lake's willow viewing is absolutely amazing! Liulang Wenying area has fewer people but beautiful scenery, with peach blossoms, apricot flowers, and magnolias all in bloom. Changqiao Park is even more spectacular, with tall, dense willows where every casual photo looks like a professional shot! For Broken Bridge and Bai Causeway, you must go early when there are fewer people to experience the poetic charm of "white sand paths under green willow shade." The willows along Gushan Road and Xiling Bridge are incredibly elegant! Su Causeway is officially certified as a spring viewing paradise, with stunning red peach blossoms and green willows. Walking from North Mountain Road to South Mountain Road feels like strolling through a painting!

Photo tips revealed! The best times with fewest people and perfect lighting are before 7:30 AM and between 12-2 PM. Shoot water scenes with backlighting from the east side of Su Causeway for amazing depth! Frame your shots with parallel willow branches, capture willows on both sides when crossing bridges, and take close-ups of tender buds for stunning results!

Save these 8 free hidden photo spots! Jixian Pavilion is a hidden gem with sunset views, lotus remnants, boats, and mandarin ducks! Chuying Bridge is just a 200-meter walk away, with beautiful light and shadows on dead wood at sunset! Ancient Yongjin Gate offers gentle blue hour moments! North Mountain Street's S-curve sunset boulevard is accessible via buses 1314, bringing novel-like scenes to reality! Broken Bridge at sunset with sparkling water is breathtaking! The observation deck at Starbucks Broken Bridge store is absolutely worth it!
