Poetic Views Walk Around West Lake

If you only have a short time here, this walking route is amazing for experiencing the most beautiful and iconic views of West Lake. We’ll explore: - Maojiabu A peaceful corner with fewer crowds and seasonal blooms—sakura and hydrangeas in spring, lotus in summer, maples and osmanthus in autumn... - Wugui Pond, Viewing Fish at Flowery Pond, Yuhu Bay The spirit of West-Lake aesthetics with historic trails. Full of green energy and close to creeks and plants - Taiziwan Park Step into Hangzhou’s “Emerald Forest.” Wooden walkways stretch over shimmering water, grassy fields invite you to relax, and every view feels like a scene from a movie or a traditional Chinese painting. -The Long Bridge Park From Long Bridge, enjoy stunning sunset views of Leifeng Pagoda glowing in gold above the calm waters of one of the Ten Sights of West Lake of the Southern Song Dynasty. - Orioles Singing in the Willows Another of West Lake’s classic “Ten Sights.” Gentle willows, birdsong, and tranquil lake views offer a perfect moment of calm and beauty. As we walk, I’ll share stories of Hangzhou’s history, culture, and daily life and take photos for you. This route is also ideal for photography lovers.
