Compared to West Lake, I recommend these 10 treasure places in Hangzhou

When you come to Hangzhou, don’t just know the crowded West Lake. 1️⃣Gushan Take the romantic bus No. 1314 and get off at Gushan Station, where you can watch the sunset over the West Lake on a sunny day. There are many persimmon trees in Zhongshan Park, so it’s a good time to go there in the near future. 2️⃣Fifteen Kui Lane It is full of the heritage of old Hangzhou and is full of old shops. Navigate to "Balkan Inn" and you can take photos of Wangxian Pavilion, giving you a sense of seeing Kyoto. 3️⃣Xiaohezhi Street & Xiangji Temple Baobao Old Street by the canal, Canal Park + Xiaohe Zhi Street + Xiangji Temple can be connected together. It’s more beautiful to come here on a rainy day, with the interplay of light and shadow, and the charm of a Jiangnan water town. 4️⃣Smell the Orioles in the Willow Waves Navigating "New Henghe Bridge", there is a bridge hole, just like the Wizard of Oz , few people know. 5️⃣Faxi Temple As one of the three scenic spots, Faxi Temple is stunning on a rainy day, shrouded in mist and full of Zen. 6️⃣Majiawu The observation deck on the mountain overlooks half of Hangzhou, and the West Lake is amazing from here. 7️⃣7 North Peak If you don't like climbing, you can take the cableway up the mountain. The top platform overlooks the beautiful West Lake. 8️⃣8Botanical Garden A favorite place for locals, remember to check in at the "Han Meilin Art Museum" inside. The Buddha head at the door is very eye-catching. 9️⃣Yunqi Bamboo Path It's a perfect place to come here on a rainy day. The green bamboo forest is quaint and there are very few people. 🔟Yuwan Bay Lixi Lake has beautiful scenery and few people. You can take a boat ride and feel as if you are entering a painting. ✅「About Hangzhou Transportation」 Don't drive yourself when you come to Hangzhou during holidays. Parking fees are very expensive and there are traffic jams. It is recommended to take the high-speed rail to "Hangzhou Station" or "Hangzhou East Station". "Hangzhou West Station" is far away from the core scenic spots. Take the plane to "Xiaoshan Airport" and take Metro Line 1 to "Longxiang Bridge", which is the core scenic spot of West Lake. ✅"Some tips to pay attention to" 1 Hangzhou has a lot of greenery, so be careful to prevent mosquitoes 2. Autumn is here and sunny days are quite sunny, so wear sunscreen and remember to check the “UV Index” before going out.
