Found the Su Causeway 093 bench at Hangzhou West Lake, every snap feels like a cinematic masterpiece with precise location attached

Hangzhou West Lake, a must-visit healing place in this lifetime! Here is a detailed nanny-level guide

Key check-in spot: Su Causeway Bench Photo Spot
Located near the Yadi Bridge on Su Causeway, look for the "Su Causeway 093" sign (see photo P5 at the end). This seemingly ordinary bench is actually West Lake’s hidden photo hotspot! On one side, there is a sturdy ancient tree branch full of vitality; on the other side, the blue lake water shimmers gently in the breeze. In the early morning, joggers pass by as you sit on the bench watching boats slowly glide across the lake, and all worries vanish at that moment. It’s recommended to visit between 7-9 AM when the light is soft and there are few tourists, making every shot look like a movie scene.

Highly recommend the "Zhibei Travel" app! A blessing for the lazy, it solves itinerary planning with one click:

Practical tips

· Transportation: Cycling around the lake is recommended; there are many shared bike stations around West Lake
