West Lake Secret Realm - Maojiabu

After having breakfast at Hangzhou Drum Tower Food Street, head to Maojiabu, which is located to the west of West Lake, facing Yanggong Dike to the east and connecting to Longjing Road to the west. The water area is open, with a winding shoreline, natural, rugged, and wild. Now, in early spring, the lakeside willows are freshly green, hanging low and elegant, reeds swaying. It is currently the perfect season to enjoy the willows and step into spring. The February orchids are in full bloom at this time. Strolling down the 'country lane', surrounded by blooming flowers, with pebbles scattered on the beach, wooden planks support the walkway that leads straight to the deep of the lakeside flower sea. Among the reeds and above the water surface, wild ducks and cormorants play in the water. Startled, they take off by treading on the water, and pleasure boats shuttle back and forth, presenting a beautiful picture of rural charm.
