Not a lake in the middle of nowhere! ๐Ÿ›ถ๐ŸŒ…๐ŸŒธ

#thisischina Did you visit Hangzhou if you havenโ€™t been to West Lake? The answer is NO ๐Ÿ˜› West Lake is the heart of Hangzhou. Google Hangzhou and a gazillion pictures of the lake pop up on your screen! It was part of the Qiantang River over 2000 years ago. Itโ€™s also known as the lake of love as a result of its link to numerous Chinese love stories. The lake is HUGE and there are definitely a ton of things to explore around as well. What to do at West Lake ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ โžก๏ธ Have a walk around, there are numerous paths and bridges. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐ŸŒณ Lots of photo opportunities ๐Ÿ“ธ โžก๏ธTake a boat ride on the lake! You can choose between the wooden boats or the big ones. Prices usually range from 40- 100 ยฅ depending on the duration and boat type. ๐Ÿ›ถ โžก๏ธ There are restaurants and cafรฉs around the lake, some have gorgeous views. Nice to chill and sip some coffee or beer โ˜•๏ธ ๐Ÿบ ๐Ÿ˜Ž โžก๏ธ Watch the sunset ๐ŸŒ… Absolutely beautiful ๐Ÿ˜ โžก๏ธ Grab a Hello Bike and ride around the lake! I rode around the whole lake once.
