#chinatravel

At the western edge of Solitary Hill, where West Lake narrows into the Xiling Bridge channel, a quiet symphony of lotuses unfolds each summer. This is the "ink-wash painting" corner of Hangzhou, where scholars of the Xiling Seal Society once paused to admire blossoms between carving stone seals.

📍 Pinpoint Location: Northwest shore of West Lake, between Gushan Park and Beishan Road.
⏰ Magic Hour: 5:30–7:30 AM (few tourists, lotus flowers fully open
