No. 4 of Best Things to Do in Zhejiang

󱔒Mountain climbing

aPin阿拼I went to Hangzhou in September. Since I was staying in the Lingyin Temple scenic area, we walked there the next day to check out the Buddhist supplies shop. It seems the entrance fee has been abolished now, but when we went, we still had to buy tickets. Looking forward to going again; free admission is so kind! Environment: Lush and green, very pleasing to the eye, and the air was very fresh. However, once inside the temple, it got a bit pungent, but that also shows how many tourists there are and how popular it is! Service: Free drinking water and incense were provided upon entering Lingyin Temple. Kudos to the management!

2026 Asia 100 - Night Attractions

yxj003The core ticket price is 360 yuan, with a limited number of more expensive and cheaper tickets available. The venue is located on the north bank of West Lake, opposite Yue Fei Temple. The first performance starts at 7:40 PM and lasts 50 minutes. It's a bit chilly in late November, so performances are expected to stop by mid-December. The performance was presented to foreign dignitaries during the G20 summit, and the show blends beautifully with the West Lake landscape. The program includes about 10 pieces, encompassing folk songs, bel canto, dance, opera, piano, ballet, and small choral pieces. While the ticket price is a bit high, it's worth seeing.

󱔒Historic buildings

天竺里Lingyin Temple and the surrounding Three Temples are among the top temples in China, no less impressive than visiting West Lake. If you're planning a trip to Lingyin Temple, be sure to set aside at least a day. Also, explore the remaining seven or eight major temples in the Three Temples and enjoy some temple-themed Zen tea.

5. Leifeng Tower

骆驼风Went to agent to exchange for physical ticket to enter Leifeng Tower (also given Yuefei Temple ticket which is to be used to enter the temple) Leifeng Tower gives a very good view of West Lake as well as the surrounding areas including “Three Pools Mirroring the Moon”. Yuefei Temple is where one gets to learn about the patriot Yuefei which we learned in history books when we were young.

爱吃香槟的猫啊In the evening, I came to Hangzhou Wulin Night Market. As soon as I stepped in, the lively atmosphere hit me. The stalls were lined up one after another, and the goods were dazzling. The food stalls were filled with tempting aromas. The Internet celebrity thumb pan-fried dumplings and Boss Pan’s fried chicken are worth a try. They are golden and crispy and mouth-watering. The cultural and creative area is also very eye-catching, with exquisite handicrafts and unique accessories, suitable for shopping for small items. There are also street performers along the way, which adds a lot of fun. Here, you can fully experience the fireworks of Hangzhou at night and gain full happiness and satisfaction.

7. Yue Fei Temple

xblcLocated near the Su Causeway of West Lake, Yue Fei Temple is the tomb of Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty who resisted the Jin Dynasty, and his son Yue Yun. On either side of the main hall are the Liewenhou Shrine and Fuwenhou Shrine, dedicated to Yue Fei's generals Zhang Xian and Niu Gao. Below them are iron-cast statues of Qin Hui and three others kneeling facing the tomb. Yue Fei Temple adds a profound historical atmosphere to the beautiful scenery of West Lake.

10. Three Pools Mirroring the Moon

M21***66The scenery of West Lake is truly breathtaking; photos never compare to what you see with your own eyes. Upon arriving on the island, I discovered there were several piers, and you weren't bound to the same one you landed at. We disembarked from the Huagang Fish Viewing Pier, which leads directly to the Su Causeway. After walking a bit on the Su Causeway toward Prince Bay Park, I noticed there were also boats that took us to the island. They cost 50 yuan per person, which immediately made me feel like I'd missed out. If you're planning to visit the island and plan to spend a day exploring West Lake, and you have more time, I recommend taking the boat from the Huagang Fish Viewing Pier.
