| The old streets by the Grand Canal are also worth checking out! As a loyal fan of West Lake, I often get asked by friends if there are any other places worth visiting in Hangzhou besides West Lake. If you're planning to spend a few days in Hangzhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival or National Day, and you don't know where to go after visiting West Lake on the first day, then I have prepared a historical street tour route for you that can be completed in one day! 🚶‍♀️ Recommended tour route Xiaohuzi Street: Experience flower-wearing photography, cat cafes, various handicrafts and local snacks, and Xiaohuzi Park.
