Hangzhou strongly recommends this spring travel route!

🌟Whenever I hear my friends complain about how boring Hangzhou is, I can't help but laugh. However, as they recounted those disappointing experiences, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. As a local expert who visits Hangzhou at least five times a year, I decided to stay up late to put together a detailed Hangzhou travel guide to help my friends avoid those "pitfalls" and truly experience the charm of Hangzhou. 🔸Walk along Beishan Street and enjoy the beautiful view of the sunset over the withered lotus leaves. Following the route of Quyuan Fenghe → Guozhuang → Wuguitan → Yuhu Bay → Taizi Bay, you will find that this is a journey with few tourists and beautiful scenery. If it is a clear day, you may climb up to Santai Pavilion or Jiuyao Pavilion to overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire West Lake. 🔹You can choose to tour the north or south route. I personally prefer the leisurely stroll along Beishan Road, sipping coffee while walking. There are few people on Yanggong Dike, but the scenery is equally charming. 🔸If you want to go to the city, you don’t need to take a taxi, the subway and bus are very convenient. Take Line 1 to Longxiang Station Exit C, and West Lake is on the right. In the evening, unless there are special circumstances, there will be a musical fountain show at 7:30. 🔹During holidays, the West Lake Scenic Area is always crowded with people. In addition to the common routes of West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Faxi Temple and Caishen Temple, you can also consider the routes of Xixi Wetland and Jingshan Temple, or stroll along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The scenery of Xianghu Lake is equally charming. 🔸Walking slowly from Faxi Temple to Lingyin Temple, the distance is not far. The scenery and historical sites along the way are enough to make your journey full of fun. 🔹Take a West Lake rowing boat and find driver No. 153. From getting on the boat to getting off, you will be immersed in laughter and joy. 🔸There are few tourists in Maojiabu, Gaoli Temple and other places. You will feel a different kind of tranquility and beauty when you stroll among them. 🔹Hefang Street, Southern Song Imperial Street and other places are suitable for sightseeing. But you need to be careful when shopping and tasting delicious food, and always be on guard against others. 🔸When going out, it is recommended to wear several layers of clothes so that you can add or remove them at any time. Make sure to choose shoes that are comfortable for walking. 🔹If Lingyin Temple is crowded, you can also choose to go to Xiangji Temple, which is more peaceful. The vegetarian restaurant next door only costs 20 yuan, which is good value for money. 🔸Before visiting Xixi Wetland, you can make an appointment in advance to dine at Xinrongji. Their dishes will basically not disappoint you. 🔹For dining, we recommend chain restaurants such as Xin Bailu and 7017, which offer authentic Hangzhou cuisine that is delicious and inexpensive. 7017 prefers Jiande cuisine, which has a spicier taste. The price per person is 50-60 yuan, which is definitely good value for money. 🔸In the area around West Lake Xintiandi and Lakeside Yintai, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of West Lake, but also taste a variety of delicious food. 🔹The taste of West Lake Vinegar Fish is like taking a sip of vinegar and then suddenly jumping into the water, chasing after the big grass carp and taking a bite. 🔸Try to avoid dining in scenic areas. If you want to try West Lake Vinegar Fish, you can go to Ziwei Hall in Xizi State Guesthouse. 🔹Living near West Lake, it is extremely convenient for eating, drinking and having fun. This guide reflects my deep affection for Hangzhou. I hope every friend can find their own wonderful time here.
