If you haven't been to West Lake, how can you appreciate the ultimate charm of Jiangnan?

The ultimate guide to West Lake in Hangzhou, enjoy it all in one go 🌟1. Best time to visit: Spring and autumn are the best seasons. Spring is full of flowers, and autumn is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, with pleasant temperatures. Summer is hot but you can enjoy the lotus flowers, and in winter, if you're lucky, you can see the "Remaining Snow on the Broken Bridge". 🌟2. Must-see attractions 👀- Remaining Snow on the Broken Bridge: One of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. The winter snow scene is charming, and it is also where Xu Xian and the White Snake met, carrying a romantic legend. 👀- Leifeng Pagoda in the Sunset: The Leifeng Pagoda reveals its historical charm in the afterglow of the setting sun. You can overlook the entire West Lake from the top of the pagoda. 👀- Three Pools Mirroring the Moon: A landmark of West Lake. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon is full, the lights in the pagoda interact with the moon's reflection. 🌟3. Tour routes 👀- Classic one-day tour: Start from the Broken Bridge in the morning, stroll along the Bai Causeway to Solitary Hill, and visit the Xiling Seal Society, etc. In the afternoon, take a boat to the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, then to the Su Causeway, and finally visit the Flower Harbor. 👀- Leisurely two-day tour: Visit the classic scenic spots mentioned above on the first day, and on the second day, go to Lingyin Temple and Nine Creeks Meandering Through a Misty Forest to experience the tranquility and natural scenery. 🌟4. Food recommendations 💦- West Lake Vinegar Fish: Sweet and sour, with tender fish, a must-try dish in restaurants around West Lake. 💦- Longjing Shrimp: The aroma of tea blends with the deliciousness of shrimp, refreshing and tasty. 💦- Dingsheng Cake: Soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy, a traditional Hangzhou specialty pastry. 🌟5. Transportation guide: The subway can directly reach many scenic spots around West Lake, and buses are also very convenient. Avoid rush hour when taking a taxi to avoid traffic jams. 🌟6. Precautions: Choose a regular boat when taking a boat trip; West Lake is crowded during holidays, so plan your itinerary in advance and visit during off-peak hours.
