If you, like me, want to spend a slow and relaxing weekend in Hangzhou, this super lazy West Lake light travel plan is just for you! ☑️ Comfortable stay + easy fun + great photo spots = this guide 👇

🌟 Recommended Itinerary 🌟

Start from the hotel → Liulang Wenying
There are relatively fewer people here by the lake.
You can also take a boat from Qianwang Temple Pier to San Tan Yin Yue (Three Pools Mirroring the Moon) 💰70 RMB/person.
Right next to it, there are rowboats (try them next time~~).

About a 15-minute boat ride to the island.
🔸 Must-do on San Tan Yin Yue Island:
✅ Take photos from the same angle as the 1 RMB banknote (remember to bring the banknote!)
✅ Nine-turn Bridge
✅ Leisurely stroll around the entire island
There are not many people here, and the island is shaded with green trees.
Every photo spot is very beautiful.

Take the boat back from any direction (we chose Huagang Guanyu Pier).
After getting off the island, you’ll see the entire Su Causeway and Huagang Guanyu (Flower Harbor Viewing Fish).

Last stop → Yang Gong Causeway cycling (rent a shared bike 💰1.5 RMB).
Watch the sunset at the "Shenzhou Base," it’s stunning.

🍃 Evening: Intime in77, shop and eat, it’s really huge, with more food options in Building C.
