Still squeezing into West Lake? Isn't the scenery of Nanbei Lake just as beautiful?

Transportation: Admission to the scenic area is free, so you can drive your car into the area. For public transportation, take Haiyan K203 and get off at Nanbei Lake Scenic Area East Station. Recommended hiking route — Jinjiu Trail Grand Loop Zhuanshuiwu (Ganpu Town) — Jinjiu Trail Entrance — Tea Garden — Yong'an Pavilion — Lingshang Stone Trail — Duqu Yuntao — Chessboard Stone — Immortal Looking Up — Ancient Bayberry Forest — Contemporary Oil Painting Academy — Xijian — Nanbei Lake — Zhonghu Yong — Loquat Ripe Coffee — Mountain Entrance (behind the coffee shop) — Yong'an Pavilion — Zhuanshuiwu Tips: The whole journey is about 12 km, with an elevation gain of 200m. Most of the route is stone steps, and a small part is dirt road. It is an entry-level route with almost no difficulty. There are supplies at the entrance of Jinjiu Trail and in the scenic area, and there are noodle shops and other restaurants in the scenic area. Remember to find the pair of footprints left by Guanyin Bodhisattva at the Immortal Looking Up spot to get some good luck. Nanbei Lake is located in Haiyan County, Jiaxing. It was originally a lagoon of the Qiantang River and became a scenic lake in the late Southern Song Dynasty, known as Little West Lake. Unlike West Lake in Hangzhou, Nanbei Lake is a scenic spot integrating mountains, sea, and lake. West Lake has Xiaoying Island, and Nanbei Lake has Egret Island. West Lake has Su Causeway and Bai Causeway, and Nanbei Lake has Zhonghu Yong... But there is no hustle and bustle here, only picturesque scenery, only the leisure and tranquility of nature, and the beautiful scenery in your eyes and yourself in the beautiful scenery.
