Must-See Stunning Sunset at Hangzhou West Lake

West Lake Sunset|Turns out romance is the lake light dyed by the sunset🌇 Watching a sunset at West Lake makes even your breath become gentle~ Squatting by the lake, watching the clouds at the horizon slowly "colored" by the sunset, from light pink to orange-red, then blending into a hazy pink-purple, as if all the tenderness of autumn is kneaded into the sky. The sunset slowly sinks toward Leifeng Pagoda, wrapping the tower in a warm golden layer, its shadow slanting across the lake surface, swaying with the ripples, even the reflection in the water shining with light. The willow leaves by the lake are illuminated and translucent, swaying in the wind like tiny flickering gold; boats slowly row by, dragging long water trails on the "golden light"-covered lake surface, even the ripples glimmering warmly. People walking slow their pace, some holding up phones to capture the scene, others standing side by side without a word, quietly letting the sunset fall on their shoulders. The air is mixed with the scent of osmanthus and the warmth of the sunset, making time seem to slow down. When the last glow hides behind the distant mountains, West Lake gradually darkens, but the warmth just now remains in the heart—turns out the sunset at West Lake is not just a view, it’s a romance engraved in the heart~
