This is the best place to visit in Hangzhou

Forget about West Lake, that's old news. Come to Xianghu Lake for a vacation! This is the best place to visit in Hangzhou. West Lake is packed on weekends, so why not come to Xianghu Lake for a unique staycation? The beautiful scenery and unique atmosphere of Xianghu Lake will make you forget about the crowds. Xianghu Lake is a beautiful place surrounded by water on three sides, with long streets lined with shops along the water. The newly opened Xianghu Lake X-LIVIN has a unique advantage, allowing you to immerse yourself in the charm of the Jiangnan water town. The small bridges and flowing water, the white walls and black tiles of the Hui-style architecture, and the surrounding green trees and birdsong all give you a sense of the unique ancient elegance of Hangzhou. If you like to explore new scenery, Xianghu Lake X-LIVIN is a great place to visit. There are many places worth stopping by, such as the ancient bluestone road in the lakeside corridor and the Jiangnan water town atmosphere. When you visit here, wearing a set of Hanfu or new Chinese-style clothing will add a touch of ancient charm. The street has just opened, and many artistic bamboo installations and ancient opera stages are perfect for taking photos. In addition, there are restaurants, cafes, tea houses, and luxurious resorts to meet your various needs. When the sun sets, the blues and night views of the ancient town make you feel peaceful and comfortable! So, forget about West Lake, come to Xianghu Lake for a vacation! This is the best place to visit in Hangzhou, enjoy the tranquility and beauty, and come explore!
