[2025 Hangzhou Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Xihu Yintaicheng (Updated May)

📍 Hangzhou ✨ West Lake is a must-see destination when visiting Hangzhou. The surrounding atmosphere is beautiful and peaceful, in a classic Chinese style, perfect for walking, taking pictures, or just spending some quiet time with yourself. ✨ The path around the lake is shady, with willows swaying in the wind, reflecting on the still water surface as beautiful as a painting. As you walk further, you will find a small ancient pavilion that feels like you have traveled back in time. ✨ If you go in the morning, we recommend starting from the Su Causeway zone because the soft sunlight shines through the thin mist, giving it an extremely romantic feel. In the evening, you will be able to see the warm golden light reflecting on the water. ✨ There are light activities such as taking a boat ride around the lake or chilling in a roadside cafe, both are good. Perfect for a relaxing day when you don't have to rush. ✨ This place is not only beautiful, but also gives a sense of peace, gentleness, and nature that is hard to find in a big city. If you want to let your mind go for a while, West Lake will not disappoint you. #Rainy season attractions #Travel China #Hangzhou Lake

📍 West Lake (West Lake / Xihu), Hangzhou ✨ When you come to Hangzhou, you must not miss walking around West Lake, a legendary tourist attraction that is beautiful, peaceful, and charming in every season. This place is not just a tourist attraction, but also a "relaxation area" where locals and tourists come to experience nature and simple beauty. ✨ The lake is large, surrounded by mountains, forests, and flower gardens. The atmosphere is shady. There are walking paths and bicycle lanes around the lake to choose from as you wish. You can take a short walk or spend the whole day without getting bored because the view changes all the time at different points. ✨ Along the way, there are many places to sit and rest. There is also a viewpoint where you can see the reflection of the mountains and temples in the water. If you go in the morning or evening, the light will be soft and very romantic. ✨ Another thing I like is the care of nature around the lake. There is no engine noise, no plastic bags flying around, and there are staff taking care of the cleanliness all the time. It makes me feel that they really care about preserving the beauty of this place. #Travel to save the world

Visit the West Lake, which Marco Polo, the traveler, called Hangzhou a living paradise. It was a very impressive short trip. It is a lovely city, warm and the atmosphere is completely different from Shanghai. Hangzhou is the largest city in Zhejiang Province. It is a city of technology but the atmosphere is very homely. It was the first time I rode a bicycle around the city, went to the West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda, and the natural views along the way were very beautiful. Hangzhou is a city with beautiful trees and grass. I was very impressed to come here. It was a plan that I did not expect anything, but I was very impressed.
