All Moments About Xihu District
Got there and crossed it, the Jihong Bridge
JIHONG BRIDGE in Hangzhou, China
Xihu District No.15 Nanshan Road , Hangzhou, Zhejiang
It’s a very beautiful place to take pictures, amazing natural scenery can be seen, mostly a lot of young pictures taking photos and couples for wedding pictures. Huge place to walk around, you can see a lot of fish, lotuses, plants and gazibo. It wasn’t crowded when we went there, so it’s really calming, and relaxing to be at. It’s wide and clean. There’s also a mini store you can find when you get thirsty after walking. It’s truly one of the nicest bridge we’ve ever seen.

Exploring the Cozy Mini Market in Xihu
#travelinginchina
Tucked away in the scenic Xihu district of Hangzhou, the Mini Market is a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of local charm and vibrant culture. Small but lively, this market is a great spot to immerse yourself in the everyday life of Hangzhou while discovering unique items and flavors.
As I wandered through the Mini Market, I was immediately drawn to the colorful stalls offering everything from handmade crafts and traditional Chinese goods to modern accessories and local snacks. The market may be compact, but it’s packed with character, and every corner feels like a new discovery.
One of the highlights of the market is the variety of local products. Stalls selling fragrant teas, like the famous Longjing tea, are scattered throughout, offering the perfect opportunity to take home a piece of Hangzhou’s rich tea culture. You’ll also find beautiful handcrafted goods, including delicate ceramics, jewelry, and silk scarves—perfect for picking up a special souvenir.
The food stalls in the Mini Market are a feast for the senses, offering delicious Hangzhou-style treats. From savory dumplings and crispy spring rolls to sweet local pastries, there’s something to satisfy every taste. I couldn’t resist trying a warm bowl of noodles and a sweet dessert—both bursting with authentic flavors that made me feel truly connected to the local culture.
The Mini Market in Xihu may be small, but it’s full of charm and is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the true essence of Hangzhou. Whether you’re shopping for souvenirs, enjoying local delicacies, or simply soaking in the lively atmosphere, this market is a lovely stop on your exploration of the city.

Magical Nights in Xihu District: A Hidden Gem in Hangzhou
If you find yourself in Hangzhou, Xihu District should be at the top of your list. The serene West Lake offers stunning views at night, with lights reflecting off the water. My favorite spot is near the Broken Bridge, where the view is simply unforgettable. Whether you are strolling along the lakeside or taking a boat ride, the peaceful atmosphere will make you feel like you're in a dream. Don't forget to visit the Leifeng Pagoda for incredible views of the surrounding area!

The chillest Starbucks Coffee in Hangzhou
It is hidden inside the Zhusu garden, one of the 18 most beautiful landscapes of West Lake, Hangzhou, not far from Yue Fei temple (near across the street, open to Beishan street). Sitting and enjoying a hot latte in the cold afternoon watching the garden will give you a very relaxing feeling

Shihu Mountain, where old buildings remain intact
#NovemberTravelSupportEvent
I visited Sihu Mountain and the buildings from the old days were still in their original form. All the buildings that used to be here were still there, but as time passed, most of them were demolished and now this is the only one left. They say this was a building where religious activities were conducted, which was interesting.

How to get to the site of jiuxiang yard
#NovemberTravelSupportEvent
I visited the site of jiuxiang yard, which is recommended as one of the must-visit tourist attractions when visiting Hangzhou. To visit this place, you have to climb a mountain, not a mountain, but since there are mountains all around, it felt like spending time in nature. There are many things to see here, so I highly recommend it.

Going to the pond on the mouse
#NovemberTravelSupportEvent
This is the Juewei Pond in Xihu District, Hangzhou. The pond here flows from the mountain, so it feels like it's between a valley and a pond. Maybe it's because it's a pond in a natural environment, but I think it's especially prettier. I recommend going up the stairs and looking at the view from the pavilion!! It's really pretty.

A great spot to visit while wearing Hanfu!
#NovemberTravelSupportEvent
I recommend a photo zone in Hangzhou that is great for visiting while wearing Hanfu, which is called the Chinese fairy costume. Located in Xihu District, this place is in the mountains, and the background and scenery are both so pretty that it is great for taking concept photos while wearing Hanfu. There are places nearby that rent Hanfu, so you can visit without any preparation. If you add 100 yuan, a photographer will follow you around and take pictures for you.

Let's go into nature!
#NovemberTravelSupportEvent
I visited the West Lake Tourist Complex in Hangzhou, China, where you can feel nature. I visited in the summer, but it was full of trees, so I didn't feel the heat at all and it felt incredibly cold. At the time, the weather in Hangzhou was 44 degrees, but it was so cold here that I had to wear a jacket. ㅋㅋㅋ You should definitely visit in the summer.

Climbing Mt. Shihu and coming back
#NovemberTravelSupportEvent
This is Hangzhou, located in Zhejiang Province, China. It's Xihu District, Hangzhou. I visited here because there was a low mountain. They made stone steps so that you can easily climb up. It's okay in the summer, but in the winter or during the rainy season, the stones are slippery, so you have to be careful. There are a lot of trees, so you can feel the air that you would feel in the Korean countryside.

The site of an old temple in Shihu
#NovemberTravelSupportEvent
We visited the site of an old temple in Xihu District, Hangzhou
There were a lot of tourists here because they said there used to be a famous temple there. Everyone started from the beginning, bringing incense and flowers to visit and placing them in front of the stone monument, and touching the stones here and there to make wishes.

The pavilion with the most beautiful scenery
#NovemberTravelSupportEvent
This is Xihu District, Hangzhou, China. Xihu District has a lot of mountains starting from the river, so the scenery is really pretty. There is a pavilion in this beautiful place! You can sit in the pavilion and enjoy nature while drinking tea, so it's nice to drink tea in a good mood. The tea is also sold at a low price, so it's good.

A hotel near Shentangqiao Metro Station in Hangzhou that I will always stay at.
💃Ladies, I want to recommend a hotel near the subway, which is very suitable for traveling!✨
✔️Walking distance to the subway station ✔️Close to West Lake ✔️180 for two people
I hope all the ladies who come to Hangzhou can leave beautiful memories here!🌸
✅The location is very good, and it is super convenient to travel!
This hotel is near Shentangqiao Metro Station🚉, and it is not far from West Lake Scenic Area.
In addition, Hefang Street and Intime City are also nearby, so you can go shopping and eat as soon as you go out, which is great!🚶
Not only that, the hotel is only 500 meters away from the subway station, so it is very convenient to go anywhere!👍
✅The hotel room design is very comfortable
The space is large, the lighting is very good, and the sanitation is clean. The facilities are also very complete, and the high-definition projection screen is really a very pleasant stay experience!🏠
📍Price: 100+💰, this price is for two people! It is really a great value for such an environment and service!

Mythical and History Meets
Beautiful and tranquil with an amazing experience to see the sun ' printed onto the surface of the waters.
it's a place where the mythical story (Legend of the Lady White Snake) and historical story (Yue Fei, etc) meet.
Seek to travel at off peak season, as it tends to be overcrowded.

The view from the Chuyuanchuan Pavilion
#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent This is the highest pavilion in Chuyuanchuan, and the view of Chuyuanchuan from this pavilion was more beautiful than I expected. It felt like I was in the mountains because it was filled with trees on all sides, and the air was good. Plus, because it was full of trees, it wasn't hot and I was able to spend my time comfortably.

I went to Chuyuanchuan
#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent
This is a stream called Chuyuanchuan in Xihu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. There was a pavilion where the stream flowed. Now, the water in the stream has almost dried up, so I couldn't see the water, but the surrounding scenery was beautiful, so I came here and healed. If you visit Xihu, be sure to visit ^^

A pavilion with the history of Shihu
#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent This is the palace site in Xihu, China. There is a pavilion here that was used in the past. It has been preserved as it was despite the passage of a long time. It is also good to visit in the summer. It is full of trees, so you can rest coolly and it is also fun to look around~

Spend time walking around Shifu
#SeptemberTravelSupportEvent 2,000 years ago, it was part of the Qiantang River, but when mud and sand piled up, it blocked the Wushan Mountain and Baoishan Mountain to the south and north, forming a lake. West Lake is a tourist destination with beautiful scenery. If you like seeing scenery, be sure to visit. You won't regret it!
