🪷☁️ Heaven on Earth Found! Drifting Through Hangzhou’s Watercolor Dreams...

Just surrendered to the timeless grace of Hangzhou – where every corner feels like a Song Dynasty painting come to life! 🎨 Glided across the misty West Lake (西湖) at dawn – pagodas floating on glass, lotus blooms unfolding... pure magic! 🌅✨

Hiked through Longjing Tea Plantations (龙井茶园), sipped fresh-picked Dragon Well tea in a hillside village, aroma swirling like jade steam. 🍃💚 Lost myself in the serene whispers of Lingyin Temple (灵隐寺) – ancient Buddhas smiling amidst forested peaks, the scent of incense lingering. 🙏

Strolled the dreamy Hefang Street (河坊街), nibbling sweet Dongpo Pork and Beggar's Chicken – taste of imperial feasts! 🍖 Admired silk artistry at the China National Silk Museum.

🧵 Cruised the Grand Canal’s historic waterway, bridges arching like rainbows.

Pro tip: Rent a bike! Pedal the lake’s willow-lined causeways (Sudi, Baidi) – freedom & views unmatched! 🚲💨 Hangzhou isn’t visited; it’s felt with the soul.

📍 Location: Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
