The sunset scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou

When the setting sun dyes the sky red, the entire surface of West Lake also turns crimson. The small boats drifting on the lake become the most lively embellishments of this picture. The willow branches hang low, the water glistens, and the group of people standing by the lake also become a beautiful silhouette. Friendly reminder: The best time to watch the sunset at West Lake in midsummer is between 18:30 and 19:30. In summer, the sun usually sets behind Gem Mountain at around 19:00, and the West Lake Music Fountain also starts at 19:30. Therefore, watching the sunset at Jixian Pavilion allows you to enjoy the music fountain as well, killing two birds with one stone. However, the temperature at West Lake in midsummer is high, so be prepared for sun protection and heatstroke prevention.
