Golden Hour at West Lake 🌅 – A Must-See in Hangzhou

#chinatravel

Watching the sunset at West Lake, as the sun slowly dips behind the distant mountains, the entire lake turns into a shimmering canvas of gold, pink, and deep blue. It’s peaceful, poetic, and absolutely breathtaking.

📍 Best spots to watch the sunset:
• Su Causeway (苏堤) – Ideal for a lakeside walk with a panoramic view.
• Yue Fei Temple area – Less crowded and very scenic.
• Leifeng Pagoda – Watch the sun set behind the pagoda for that classic postcard view.
• Music Fountain area near Hubin – Great if you’re staying in the city center and want convenience.

💡 Tip: Arrive about 30–45 minutes before sunset to find a good spot and take in the changing colors. If you’re lucky, you might catch the lake wrapped in a light mist, adding a dreamlike touch to the view.
