Don't tell me you haven't been here yet!! Forgive my outburst.

🦋“With a word of spring's arrival, I find myself in a true Jiangnan” Leifeng Pagoda 📍Address: No. 1 Longjing Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou 🚗Transportation: 🚌Bus: Convenient access from Manjuelong, Li Jilongshan, and Wai Jilongshan bus stops. 🚈Subway: Easy transfer from Hangzhou Railway Station, Hangzhou East Railway Station, and Hangzhou West Railway Station. (500m walk from Exit C of Longxiangqiao Station on Hangzhou Subway Line 1) 🚶Walking: Approx. 12 km from the city center, 2.2 km from the zoo, and 3 km from Nine Creeks and Eighteen Caves. 👍️Must-see attractions: 👉West Lake Park Pier🦋 From the subway station, walk along the south shore of West Lake near Intime City for about 15 minutes to reach the West Lake Park Pier. Here, you can buy boat tickets by scanning the QR code with your phone. A round-trip ticket costs only 💰70 RMB per person. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of West Lake during the boat ride. 👉Three Pools Mirroring the Moon🦋 After about half an hour's boat ride, you'll arrive at "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon," one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake. Known as the "most scenic spot on West Lake," it is the largest island on the lake. Remember to bring a 💵1 RMB banknote, as this is the location of the classic background pattern on the currency and the same spot where Leslie Cheung took his iconic photo at the "I Heart You Pavilion." 👉Lingyin Temple🦋 Next, you can visit Lingyin Temple to experience the tranquility and solemnity of morning bells and evening drums. Before entering Lingyin Temple, please purchase tickets for Feilai Feng Scenic Area. Here, you can pray for blessings and experience the charm of this ancient temple. 👉Baoshi Hill and Xiling Bridge🦋 After a short rest, take a stroll on Baoshi Hill for a panoramic view of West Lake. Then, head to Xiling Bridge, a romantic corner where you can enjoy the "sea of West Lake" with your loved one💑. 👉Su Causeway Spring Dawn and Leifeng Pagoda🦋 Stroll to Su Causeway Spring Dawn and find a bench to sit on and enjoy the tranquility and romance. Then, ascend Leifeng Pagoda for a panoramic view of West Lake. As one of the nine famous pagodas in China, Leifeng Pagoda is not only a witness to history but also a must-see attraction when visiting West Lake. 👉Jingci Temple🦋 Finally, visit Jingci Temple, a less crowded spot with beautiful scenery and the best hidden location for photographing Leifeng Pagoda. It's also the place to experience the "Evening Bell at Nanping Mountain"! 🎟️Tickets: Open all day. Free (some projects require payment). 💗Other tips: ⏰Time allocation: Plan for 6–8 hours. It is recommended to depart at 7:30 am, visit Broken Bridge before 5:00 pm to watch the sunset, and experience the night market around 7:00 pm. 👉Ticket reservation: Remember to book tickets for Leifeng Pagoda and Jingci Temple in advance. Tickets for the boat to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon can be purchased by scanning the QR code on-site. 👉Transportation recommendations: Choose a combination of shared bikes and sightseeing buses for convenience and efficiency. If you have time, watch the West Lake Musical Fountain at 7:30 pm. Avoid driving and opt for public transportation to avoid traffic jams and high parking fees in Hangzhou. Also, remember to bring an umbrella as the weather in Hangzhou is changeable. Be cautious when shopping in scenic areas to avoid buying overpriced souvenirs.
