Prince Bay is in bloom! Here's the easiest, most carefree, and time-saving way to visit!

Spring in Hangzhou is hidden in Prince Bay 🌷. Here's how to avoid the crowds: Transportation 🚌: The best route! Take the "Big Red Bean Digital Line" from Wulin Square West. Board the double-decker bus at the first stop and enjoy panoramic views of the West Lake spring scenery from the second floor all the way to Su Causeway! For the return trip, it is recommended to board the bus before 17:00. If you miss it, walk 15 minutes to Wushan Square subway station. It's difficult to get a taxi in the scenic area, plus it's a no-parking zone, keep that in mind! Ticket Reservations 🎫: New rules! This year, you must book timed-entry tickets 1 day in advance through the "Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area" official WeChat account. There are 5 time slots available. It is recommended to book the 8:00–10:00 slot as there are fewer people and the light is softer, perfect for portraits! Flower Map 🌷: Check-in map for rare varieties! Don't miss the parrot-type fringed tulips at Fanghuai Pavilion, the bathtub varieties by the water's edge at Jiuyiao Feiying, and the red and white fringed San Leandro tulips in the windmill area. This year, 50,000 new daffodils bloom along the waterways. Wear light-colored clothes, squat down in the flowers, zoom in 2.5 times on your phone, and instantly become a flower fairy! Other Information 📍: • In-park services: There's a coffee cart/convenience store by the windmill (prices are high, so bring your own snacks). • Hidden route: Enter from the north gate → Wangshanping core area → Xiaoyao Slope → Windmill → Shicui Pavilion exit, no backtracking (one-way loop on weekends, north gate is entry only). • Rainy day option: A transparent umbrella is a great prop, and the petals look even more beautiful with raindrops. • Nearby attractions: On the way back, you can take bus WE1314 from the Su Causeway stop to enjoy the West Lake sunset. • Night cherry blossoms preview: Light shows will be available in some areas starting late March.
