WANNA HAVE BREATHTAKING A TOP VIEW??

I mean, I might not have taken good shots! But this place is everything! Breathtaking! And any other word you want to use! You might wanna dress up because this place is so beautiful. Has so many beautiful spots to take your pictures from, if you have a wife or girlfriend. I’d recommend you take her lol.😅 there’s a section they play romantic calm songs that honestly speaking are only couple friendly, not family, not friends but couples. If you’re deep romantic like me, you might even want to dance some bow dance… or salsa with your woman or man.😂 and just have a beautiful moment. No food places inside or anything but the location is not far from malls or anything else so you don’t have have to worry. I will give this place a 10/10. For more information on how to go there and more, you can also check my previous posts. They are in the same area. #CampingGlamping #beachlife #foodie #MyTripVlog #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #cafe #passionpassport #CelebrateWithTrip #nationalpark #themepark #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #tripblazers #beachlife #本地遊 #exploresgtogether #Art Gallery #gallery #museum #explorer #explore #china #hangzhou #chinatravel #chinatravel #chinalife #chinalife #historicculture

Serene Buddhist Temple in Hangzhou

#historicplaces I was busy browsing places to visit in the city when I saw pictures of this temple. I was surprised that my friend and I were among the very few tourists there. The temple dates back to 1000 years with occasional restoration in the past years. The atmosphere is peaceful & calm. The outside was beautifully decorated with lanterns. There’s still a Buddhist monastery, so be ready to see monks walking around. The temple also consists of a restaurant offering a vegetarian buffet (not included in entrance ticket) Entrance 🎟 - 20¥ How to go ➡️ Take metro line 3 to Xiangji Temple station 香积寺地铁站 🚇 and walk for about 10 mins. #historicculture #historicplaces #temples#buddhisttemple #monastery #templevisits

Old town in the north of Hangzhou

#historicplaces I found this old town on Google map three years ago when I moved to Hangzhou. Despite of its remote location, this quaint little town is an interesting blend of traditional Chinese architecture & culture with a touch of modernity. (I was indeed surprised to find a KFC and Starbucks, but it seems to be a trend nowadays). The stone bridge & river are part of the Grand Canal sourcing from Beijing. While strolling through the streets of the old town, you can find several restaurants, coffee shops and traditional snacks. There are a few handicraft stores where you can buy souvenirs. I also came across a portrait artist along the river. The old town is a living area and is also famous for its loquat season around mid-May. How to go- Take metro line 9 to Heyu Road. There’s a bus station near exit C in front of McDonald’s. Take 🚌 411 OR Take a 🚕, the ride is about 20-30 mins. #historicculture#historicplaces#oldtown#grandcanal#zhejiang#hangzhoutravel#hangzhou

Lingyin Temple, Hangzhou

Lingyin Temple on a rainy day is a quiet and tranquil place, so many twists and turns, alleyways and staircases, all whilst looking absolutely stunning. My second visit to this beautiful temple was even more intriguing than the first, it's yellow painted buildings popping out from the gound in the mist. The flowers and trees in their autumn state are very unique. Even the quick drive through the West Lake scenic area was beautiful, trees dropping orange and yellow leaves onto the ground. Linying is famous for it's carved buddhas, but the buildings and the friendly staff really make this place a needed destination to visit. #travelinspiration#historicculture#culturalattractions#nationalpark

Leifeng Tower - Hangzhou

Leifeng Tower in Hangzhou is very famous! It is also one of the must see places when you visit Hangzhou. I was surprised they have an escalator going up the pagoda! When you reach the top, you will see the amazing view of the West Lake and all of its surroundings! When you travel there during winter, just prepare yourself because its really very very cold when you are on top specially when the wind blows. #historicculture#culturalattractions#nationalpark

Breakfast @Amanfayun Lux Hotel & Resort

We had a spontaneous moment on our last morning in Hangzhou! We read about the beautiful Amanfayun Luxury Resort and Hotel in a an article the night previous and it mentioned how the breakfast was incredible. It is a beautiful ancient village with over 1000 year old history, its old houses with romantic rooms and courtyards are shaded alongside stone pathways leading up to the Lingyin Temple. 🙌🏻 The food was lush and the service was top notch, for those that don’t speak Mandarin, the staff also speaking English. We spent a few hours just relaxing, taking in the beautiful decor, enjoying the peace and background music, and of course took every bit advantage of the food! It’s the most we have ever, and probably will ever, spend on BREAKFAST, however we took it on the chin and accepted it as a happy experience to take away with us. If you’re happy to do so too, we recommend going for breakfast at Amanfayun! ✨ #oldarchitecture#historicculture#roadtrip#bestislandtraveltowns#romanticrestaurant#beautifulhotel#summervacation#hotelstay
