World Heritage Site in Hangzhou

West Lake. Its beauty is widely known, which is why it attracts so many tourists. Despite the overwhelming crowds, the atmosphere is still captivating. Especially at the Ten Scenes of West Lake, I found myself lost in time, simply gazing at the view. I visited in early summer, so the fresh greenery was dazzling, but I've heard that spring brings flowers, autumn offers vibrant foliage, and winter showcases snow—each season is said to be stunning. I definitely want to visit again someday. Besides the lake, there are museums and architectural landmarks worth seeing, so you can easily spend an entire day here. In fact, one day might not be enough, so staying overnight to enjoy the evening scenery is highly recommended.
