🌬️ Air-conditioned Boat Practical Info
📍 Boarding point: Quyuan Fenghe Pier (near Gate 4, look for the brown sign!)
🎫 Ticket price: 6 yuan per segment / 70 yuan for the full loop (no getting off midway on the loop)
⏰ Duration: 50 minutes for the full trip (operates 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM)
💺 Facilities: Powerful air conditioning + large glass windows (great for clear photos)
🔥 Key point: If you’re afraid of the heat in summer, you really have to try this!

⚠️ How to buy tickets smartly?
✅ Want to do the full loop: buy the 70 yuan ticket, enjoy air conditioning all the way back to Quyuan Fenghe
✅ Want to get off and visit spots midway: buy 6 yuan segment tickets! You can get off at Maojiabu, Huagang Guanyu, or Guozhuang (but you need to buy a new ticket to get back on)
❗️Note: The loop boat does not stop midway! To get off and explore, you must buy segment tickets.

🚢 Highlights along the way
▫️ Quyuan Fenghe → Guozhuang → Maojiabu → Huagang Guanyu → Hangzhou Garden → return
▫️ The west side is quiet with fewer people, surrounded by greenery like entering a secret forest
▫️ See classic landmarks like Leifeng Pagoda, Su Causeway, and Yang Gong Causeway all at once
▫️ The air-conditioned boat has crystal-clear windows, no glare for photos! Take 100 shots!

📸 Photo Tips
1️⃣ Sit on the right window side! The scenery is denser there (Leifeng Pagoda and Su Causeway are all on the right)
2️⃣ 4 PM has the softest light, with the lake shimmering beautifully
3️⃣ Use your phone’s portrait mode, zoom in to capture the ink-wash style distant mountains

Really can’t recommend this bus boat enough
Fewer people, cheap, and covers the essence of West Lake!
