Having lived in Hangzhou for 7 years, my favorite route for a one-day spring tour around West Lake is as follows

Having lived in Hangzhou for 7 years, my favorite route for a one-day spring tour around West Lake is as follows.|||Because I love Hangzhou, I came here to settle down without any hesitation. Time flies, and it's already been seven years. Every spring, we must go on an incredibly beautiful and excellent spring outing route. For friends visiting from other places, I also recommend this route to them. After trying it, they all give it consistently high praise. 👇🏻This route includes almost all the beautiful scenery of West Lake: 🚏➡️Guo's Villa➡️Maojiabu➡️Turtle Pool➡️Santai Mountain Clouds➡️Flower Harbor➡️Bathing Tiger Spring➡️Prince Bay Park ➡️Guo's Villa: A super beautiful southern garden, where you can experience the ancient charm of the Song Dynasty. The magnolias are blooming beautifully at this time. ➡️Maojiabu: This is Hangzhou's spring beauty and hidden green fairyland. It's quiet and peaceful, a place to feel the breath of spring. ➡️Turtle Pool: Rowing through it feels like entering a fairyland. The clear pool water ripples, truly unique to West Lake. Near Yanggong Dike, there are many beautiful February orchids. ➡️Flower Harbor: A great place in Hangzhou to enjoy cherry blossoms, with magnolias blooming profusely, especially suitable for Hanfu. ➡️Bathing Tiger Spring: The Jihong Bridge passes through the lake water, very unique, and it's less crowded here. ➡️Prince Bay Park: This is a world of tulips, as beautiful as a Monet painting. . ⏰The whole duration of this route is about 5 hours. ⚠️Before setting out, remember to prepare some snacks that children like to stave off hunger. They can eat them in the car when hungry or to replenish energy when tired. ⚠️Those with less physical strength can take their time. Even spending the whole day can be very rewarding. ⚠️During the tulip season at Prince Bay Park, it gets crowded, so remember to book in advance through the West Lake app. 📢Some necessary reminders: 1️⃣Where to take a taxi? I usually take the subway to Longxiang Bridge, then take a taxi to Quyuanfenghe or Guo's Villa. Of course, you can go in the opposite direction or to any of the stops in between. 2️⃣Is there a sightseeing bus? There is no sightseeing bus for this route, you can only rely on walking. Therefore, the article specifically notes that those with less physical strength can consider reducing the itinerary. Walking tours can be physically demanding, so be sure to bring some food to replenish energy. I usually carry eggs, quail eggs, and roasted chicken wings. I keep some in the car and eat whenever I want. They are also convenient to carry during the tour. 3️⃣Is it already so beautiful recently? Yes, from late March to mid-April, you can generally see such beautiful scenery, but the feeling on sunny days and on cloudy or rainy days is different. Hangzhou has been rainy recently, so please decide whether to go according to your own preferences. 4️⃣Can I ride a bike around? Yes, but you can't take bicycles into individual scenic spots, you have to leave them at the entrance. You can push a stroller, but the distance is long, so it's not recommended. ·
