Family! I’ve totally figured out this trip to Hangzhou! The hotel I booked is right in the heart of the city, the prime spot. You can visit West Lake, night markets, parks—all without any detours. The best part? The cost-performance ratio is so good, I’m tempted to get a yearly pass! Here’s the guide—follow it and you won’t go wrong!

🧾 Must-visit list, highly recommend these 7 places—missing even one is a loss!

• West Lake: A must-visit at least once in your life! Rent a bike and ride around the lake. Snap photos of Broken Bridge and Pinghu Qiuyue—every shot is wallpaper-worthy. When tired, take a boat to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon and see the scenery on the RMB notes with your own eyes. Sparkling waves on sunny days, misty rain on rainy days—both are stunning!

• Hubin Intime in77: A paradise for foodies and shoppers! Big brands and small shops all here. Grab a milk tea and sit by the lake watching passersby. When the lights come on at night, it perfectly matches the West Lake night view. When tired of walking, have a good meal inside the mall, then wait for the music fountain show—so lively you won’t want to leave!

• Wulin Night Market: Go all out after dark! Skewers, takoyaki, Ding Sheng cake… eat from start to finish with no repeats. Don’t forget to try the local Fresh Taro Fairy dessert—refreshing and cleanses the palate. Enjoy street performances while eating; the lively atmosphere is off the charts!

• Hupao Park: Want peace and quiet? Come here! Vast bamboo forests like a green wonderland, spring water tinkling, and you can see locals collecting spring water. It’s said to be super sweet—let’s grab a bottle and try it. Walking in the bamboo forest, even the air smells fragrant!

• Liuhe Pagoda: Climb the tower for an unbeatable view! From the top, see the Qiantang River with a wide-open view. The tower’s carvings are exquisitely detailed, perfect for photos with an ancient vibe. Few people, peaceful—great for a slow stroll and leisurely photos.

• Hangzhou Botanical Garden: The perfect summer escape! Large lawns to lie on and soak up the sun, greenhouses filled with exotic flowers and plants that dazzle the eyes, bamboo paths perfect for photos with a forest vibe. It’s 100 times more comfortable than staying in an air-conditioned room!

• Jiuxi Eighteen Streams: Highly recommended! Walk barefoot in the stream—the icy water feels amazing. Trees shade both sides, and the path leads all the way to the Qiantang River. When tired, sit on a rock and munch on watermelon—this is what summer should feel like!
