Spectacular views of the city and West Lake from Wushan in Hangzhou

Hangzhou's Wushan Mountain is a small hill located south of West Lake, known as a vantage point from which to enjoy a panoramic view of Hangzhou's cityscape and the lake. At just 100 meters above sea level, it's easily accessible from the city center and is a popular walking spot for locals.

The main attractions are as follows:
•Wushan Tianfeng Scenic Area: Located near the summit, this observation point offers a panoramic view of Hangzhou City and West Lake. On clear days, you can see all the way to the distant mountains.
•City God Pavilion: A Ming Dynasty-style tower, beautifully lit up at night, it's a popular photo spot.
•Wushan Square: A square at the foot of the mountain, close to Hefang Street in Hangzhou's old town, it can be enjoyed as part of a sightseeing tour.
•History and Culture: Since ancient times, Wushan has been home to the City God Temple (a temple dedicated to the City God), and has been deeply associated with worship of Hangzhou's guardian deity.

It is about a 10-minute walk from the Ding'an Road subway station, and you can climb up there as if you were on a light hike. The scenery changes with the seasons, with cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn.
