Not a lake in the middle of nowhere! 🛶🌅🌸

#thisischina Did you visit Hangzhou if you haven’t been to West Lake? The answer is NO 😛 West Lake is the heart of Hangzhou. Google Hangzhou and a gazillion pictures of the lake pop up on your screen! It was part of the Qiantang River over 2000 years ago. It’s also known as the lake of love as a result of its link to numerous Chinese love stories. The lake is HUGE and there are definitely a ton of things to explore around as well. What to do at West Lake 👇🏼 ➡️ Have a walk around, there are numerous paths and bridges. 👣🌳 Lots of photo opportunities 📸 ➡️Take a boat ride on the lake! You can choose between the wooden boats or the big ones. Prices usually range from 40- 100 ¥ depending on the duration and boat type. 🛶 ➡️ There are restaurants and cafés around the lake, some have gorgeous views. Nice to chill and sip some coffee or beer ☕️ 🍺 😎 ➡️ Watch the sunset 🌅 Absolutely beautiful 😍 ➡️ Grab a Hello Bike and ride around the lake! I rode around the whole lake once. So exciting! 🚴 The closest metro 🚇 station to the lake is Longxiangqiao on line 1. (龙翔桥地铁站) #westlake #lakeview #laketour #lakes #hangzhou #hangzhoutravel #hangzhouphotospot #zhejiang
