Hangzhou tourism has great potential, listen to my true feelings

A super healing niche flower-viewing spot around Hangzhou! Ten thousand acres of rapeseed fields, green mountains and clear waters, white walls and black tiles, it's like walking into the world of Hayao Miyazaki's comics ~ suitable for taking photos, taking your kids out, and having a spring picnic! 🚘In terms of transportation, Hangzhou's subway and bus systems are very convenient, especially around West Lake. It is recommended to ride a bicycle or walk. In addition, the bus or subway routes from the airport to the city center need to be listed, and information about high-speed rail stations should also be mentioned, such as the locations of Hangzhou East Station and Hangzhou Station. 🗓Itinerary: 😍Day 1: West Lake Classic Loop ‌ ‌Morning‌: Broken Bridge with Snow → Baidi Bridge → Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake → Solitary Mountain → Xiling Seal Society ‌Afternoon‌: Cruise to West Lake (Three Pools Mirroring the Moon) → Leifeng Pagoda (overlooking the panoramic view of West Lake) Evening: Lakeside Pedestrian Street Night View, Music Fountain (19:00/20:00) ‌ 🥰Day 2: Humanities and Nature‌ Morning: Lingyin Temple (Pray for blessings) + Feilai Peak Stone Carvings Afternoon: Longjing Village (tea tasting) → Jiuxi Yanshu (stream hiking) Evening: Impression of West Lake performance (directed by Zhang Yimou, tickets must be booked in advance) ‌ 🥰Day 3: Ancient charm and wetlands Morning: Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street → Hefang Street (visit the ancient street and try snacks) Afternoon: Xixi Wetland (take a rowboat to visit the wetland, best to see the autumn reeds and snow) ‌Evening‌: Qianjiang New Town Light Show (Viewing from the City Balcony) ‌5-day in-depth tour‌ ✅ Recommended attractions: ‌ ‌📍Lingyin Temple & Feilai Peak‌ Tips: Buy the Feilai Peak ticket first (45 yuan), then buy the Lingyin Temple incense and flower coupon (30 yuan); you can ask for the 18-seed bracelet (46 yuan) in the temple. ‌ 📍Xixi Wetland How to play: Electric boat (60 yuan) or rowing boat (100 yuan/hour), enter from Zhoujia Village, and must visit Qiuxuean and Shentankou. ‌ 📍Songcheng Highlights: "Songcheng Eternal Love" performance (ticket including performance is about 300 yuan), recommended play time is 4 hours. ‌ Recommended by niche audiences ‌📍Faxi Temple‌: Internet celebrities use their cameras to capture the symmetrical aesthetics of the building, and the amulets are 20 yuan each. 💒Accommodation suggestions Lakeside Business District: Excellent location, very close to West Lake, convenient for shopping and dining, with a variety of hotels and B&Bs to meet different budget needs. 😍Near Lingyin Temple: Tourists who want to experience a quiet atmosphere can choose here.

Wrapped in lotus leaves, freshly roasted and pounded 🔨 The chicken is tender and juicy💥 😋Bundled Dongpo Pork Every piece is three parts fat and seven parts lean! The stew is soft and tasty. It melts in your mouth and is so delicious when mixed with rice! I can eat a big piece by myself 😋 😋West Lake Vinegar Fish If you don’t eat in Hangzhou, it’s a wasted trip! The fish meat is firm, sweet and sour taste, and it’s really not dark! 😋Longjing Shrimp The shrimps are crystal clear, and the meat is chewy and full. The entrance is the fresh Longjing tea fragrance🍵 📌Notes There are many tourists in West Lake, especially during holidays. Try to avoid peak hours when traveling to have a better travel experience. When taking a boat tour, please pay attention to safety and follow the instructions of the staff. When tasting delicious food, choose regular restaurants to avoid consumer disputes. The beauty of West Lake changes with each season and with weather conditions. Come to West Lake and encounter the unique beauty of Jiangnan that belongs to you.
