[A Must-See in Hangzhou!] A Stunning West Lake Day Trip Guide 🌿 Broken Bridge Sunset + Secret Rowboat Ride

#HangzhouTravel #WestLakeGuide #JiangnanWatertown

"Heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below" truly speaks volumes!

The beauty of West Lake is the kind of gentleness that captivates you at first sight 💖
After countless visits, I've compiled this essential guide to avoid the crowds and easily capture stunning photos 📸

✅ "Leifeng Pagoda Night View" 🏯
Climb the tower for panoramic views of West Lake, ablaze with golden light at dusk ✨
The elevator inside the tower is child-friendly and elderly-friendly, so thoughtful~

✅ "Quyuan Fenghe" 🌸
A must-visit in summer! The lake is ablaze with lotuses, perfect for photos in Hanfu.

(Best from June to August, most beautiful in the morning when the dew is still wet)

💡 [Tips] 💡
1️⃣ Transportation: Longxiangqiao Station on Metro Line 1 is the closest, but cycling offers more freedom (shared bikes are available near the lake).
2️⃣ Admission: Free! However, the Leifeng Pagoda entrance fee is 40 yuan per person, and the boat ticket is extra.
3️⃣ Food: Try Dongpo Pork at the Hangzhou Restaurant in Lakeside Yintai!
4️⃣ Tip: Avoid buying "freshly cut fruit" on the street; it's expensive and not fresh!

⏰ Recommended Itinerary:
Morning: Broken Bridge → Baidi Causeway → Calm Lake Autumn Moon
Afternoon: Quyuan Fenghe → Rowboat Ride → Leifeng Pagoda
Evening: See the Musical Fountain on Lakeside Pedestrian Street⛲
