🌿Wandering around West Lake in Hangzhou｜A date with poetic scenery, a journey of spiritual escape

When talking about Hangzhou, we can’t avoid the West Lake;
When talking about the West Lake, it always feels like walking into a flowing landscape painting.
This is not just a lake, but a rhythm of life, a kind of Jiangnan romance.

📍Classic route recommendation｜One-day light travel proposal for West Lake
⛩ Morning: Lake tour and poetry search
[Broken Bridge and Residual Snow]: Starting point of the Legend of the White Snake, a beautiful scene of legend and mist
[Walk on the Bai Causeway]: Willow trees on both sides gently brush, suitable for taking photos while walking
[Autumn Moon on the Calm Lake]: Reflections of the lake, full of poetry, super suitable for portrait photography
🛶 You can choose to take a hand-cranked boat/electric boat to tour the lake, and easily take pictures of the reflections of the Pavilion in the Center of the Lake and the Moon in the Three Pools (I didn’t take it on 7/1 and 7/2, the temperature was too high those days><)

🥟 Noon: Taste Hangzhou cuisine
Recommended restaurants: Louwailou or Zhiweiguan (old brand)

📌 My travel preferences
🚇 Taking the subway is already convenient: Take Metro Line 1 to "Longxiang Bridge Station" to enter the West Lake Lakeside District
📱 Many scenic spots support Alipay/WeChat
📷 Photo suggestions: Take the foggy view of the Broken Bridge in the morning and take beautiful photos of the Su Causeway in the afternoon

🍵 If you want to experience life in a tea village, you can go to Longjing Village to taste tea and walk the tea garden trail. 🎐Summary: West Lake is not just a landscape, it is a gentle and quiet lifestyle. Here, time slows down and even breathing begins to be poetic. #Summer Vacation Good Place #Hangzhou #Hangzhou Travel #West Lake #Hangzhou West Lake #2025 #Overseas Travel #Leifeng Pagoda #Hangzhou Cuisine #Broken Bridge Snow
