I've returned from my trip to Hangzhou, and I really don't recommend visiting in March.

Hangzhou, a city praised as a paradise on earth, attracts countless tourists with its beautiful natural scenery, rich history and culture, and unique local customs. Below is a detailed Hangzhou travel guide to help you experience the unique charm of this city! Must-See Attractions 1. West Lake 🏞️ West Lake is Hangzhou's landmark attraction. Whether you stroll along Su Causeway or Bai Causeway, or take a boat trip on the lake, you can feel the tranquility and beauty. Classic sights such as Leifeng Pagoda and the Broken Bridge are not to be missed. 2. Lingyin Temple 🏯 Nestled between Feilai Peak and Beigao Peak, Lingyin Temple is one of Hangzhou's most famous ancient temples. With its flourishing incense and towering ancient trees, it's a great place to seek inner peace. 3. Song Dynasty Town 🏰 Themed around the history and culture of the Song Dynasty, Song Dynasty Town recreates the urban landscape of that era. Here, you can watch the large-scale live performance "Romance of Song Dynasty" and experience this glorious period of history. 4. Xixi National Wetland Park 🌿 Xixi National Wetland Park is Hangzhou's urban lung. With its crisscrossing waterways and lush reeds, it's an ideal place to get close to nature and relax. 5. Qiandao Lake 🏞️ Qiandao Lake is famous for its clear waters and scattered islands. Take a boat trip on the lake to enjoy the picturesque scenery. 6. Hefang Street 🏮 Hefang Street is Hangzhou's old town. With its antique charm and a variety of specialty snacks and handicrafts, it's a great place to experience Hangzhou's folk culture. 7. Grand Canal (Hangzhou Section) 🛳️ The Hangzhou section of the Grand Canal flows with thousands of years of history. Attractions along the canal, such as Gongchen Bridge and Fuyi Warehouse, are steeped in rich cultural heritage. Food Recommendations • West Lake Vinegar Fish: Tender fish with a rich vinegar flavor, a traditional Hangzhou dish. • Longjing Shrimp: Made with Hangzhou's famous Longjing tea and fresh shrimp, it's fragrant and delicious. • Dongpo Pork: Fatty but not greasy, melts in your mouth, one of Hangzhou's traditional dishes. • Zhiweiguan Snacks: Zhiweiguan is a time-honored snack shop in Hangzhou, famous for its "cat ears" (small, shell-shaped pasta), steamed buns, and other delicacies. Transportation Hangzhou has a very convenient public transportation system. The subway, buses, and taxis can all meet your travel needs. The subway covers the main areas of the city, and the bus network is also very well-developed. In addition, Hangzhou has shared bicycles and shared electric scooters, making it easy to travel short distances within the city. If you prefer to drive, Hangzhou's highways and urban roads are also very smooth. Accommodation Hangzhou offers a wide range of accommodation options, from budget-friendly hotels to high-end luxury hotels. The area around West Lake is a popular area for accommodation, with convenient transportation and many nearby attractions. In addition, there are many high-quality hotels and guesthouses in areas such as Binjiang and Qianjiang New City. No matter your budget, you can find suitable accommodation in Hangzhou. Tips • Hangzhou has four distinct seasons. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit. Summers are hot and humid, and winters are cold and dry. Please make corresponding preparations when traveling. • Hangzhou has many attractions. It is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance and arrange your time reasonably. If you have enough time, consider purchasing a Hangzhou Pass or City Pass for convenient access to public transportation and attractions. • When traveling in Hangzhou, try the local tea culture and taste famous teas such as Longjing tea to experience its unique charm.
