This city lake, comparable to the West Lake in Hangzhou, is worth a visit

Speaking of West Lake, people immediately think of Hangzhou. In fact, in history, there were thirty-six lakes called West Lake in our country, among which West Lake in Hangzhou, West Lake in Huizhou, West Lake in Yingzhou and Slender West Lake in Yangzhou are known as the four major West Lakes in China. In addition to the world-renowned West Lake in Hangzhou, West Lake in Huizhou is also a national 5A-level tourist attraction with elegant and deep landscapes, rich historical and cultural heritage, and leisure sightseeing as its main function. Huizhou West Lake National Scenic Area is located in the central urban area of Huizhou, with a total area of 20.91 square kilometers and a water area of 3.13 square kilometers. The entire scenic area is beautiful with mountains and rivers, floating islands, green mountains like ink, and ancient pavilions hidden among lush trees. The scenery is wonderfully natural, known as the 'Pearl of Lingnan', and there is a historical record of 'Thirty-six West Lakes in Greater China, only Huizhou can compare with Hangzhou'. More than 400 literati represented by Su Dongpo, Li Shangyin, Yang Wanli, Zhu Zhishan, Chen Yaozuo, Bai Yuchan, and Qiu Fengjia have set foot here, leaving valuable cultural heritage for West Lake; in modern times, great men such as Sun Yat-sen and Zhou Enlai have also carried out revolutionary activities in Huizhou, leaving glorious footprints on West Lake. In winter, the temperature in Huizhou is suitable, the breeze is gentle, and it is very comfortable to stroll around the five lakes, six bridges and eight sceneries of West Lake. Personally, I feel that the scenery here is not inferior to that of West Lake in Hangzhou. Tour tips: Tickets: Free Transportation: Take bus No. 7, 8, 18, 218 express to West Lake East City Rail Station, and walk 944 meters to arrive. Take bus No. 13 to Fenghu Academy Station, and walk 712 meters to arrive.
