Hangzhou Travel Guide

Compared to West Lake, I recommend this Hangzhou Old Town Citywalk! | In addition to West Lake, it is recommended to take the 3 yuan water bus. Take a walk along this Southern Song Dynasty Old Town citywalk route! Not only can you overlook the West Lake and Chenghuang Pavilion from a high place, You can also experience the old Hangzhou culture in the streets and alleys! · ✅️Transportation recommendation: Experience water bus line 7⃣ (Bazi Bridge--Meihuabei), the whole journey takes 40 minutes and costs only 3 yuan❗️It is ridiculously cost-effective and is known as the most beautiful water bus route in Hangzhou💯Get up early and avoid queuing! Hangzhou ✅️City walk route: Take the water bus line 7 - Wuliu Lane - Deshou Palace - Wangxian Pavilion - Drum Tower - Shiwukui Lane - Xiaoxia Lane - Zhongxing Dongyue Temple - Yaowang Temple - Chenghuang Pavilion - Jiyi Pavilion - Wansong Academy · ⏭️Wuliu Lane 🎟: Free The ancient alleys built along the river are perfect for afternoon tea. Check in at the "Dou Fu Erqiao West Lane" road sign❗️The yellow wood fragrance and rose flowers here are also in bloom; ⏭️Deoksugung Palace 🎟: Free, closed on Mondays ⚠️, reservation required The ruins of the imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, the minimalist architecture of the Song Dynasty, the red walls and black tiles + the sycamore tree at the exit are very photogenic; ⏭️Shiwu Kui Lane 🎟: Free The alley of the old Hangzhou's urban life is adjacent to Hefang Street and Zhongshan Food Street; you can also check in at the "Balkan Inn" internet celebrity camera, but it is under renovation recently❗️ ⏭️Wangxian Pavilion 🎟: Free, closed on Mondays ⚠️ Climb up to the third-floor attic and overlook Hu Xueyan's former residence to the east, Wushan City God Pavilion to the west, Zhongshan Food Street to the south, and Drum Tower Imperial Street to the north. You will feel as if the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty is right at your feet. - ⏭️Chenghuang Pavilion 🎟: Full ticket 30 yuan, park card 10 yuan The 4th floor is the best viewing spot❗️Facing the Leifeng Pagoda from afar, you can see the panoramic view of West Lake and the city of Hangzhou from afar; and you can ring the peace bell at the entrance of the City God Temple (free of charge). ⏭️Jiyi Pavilion 🎟: Free Climb to the highest peak of Wushan Mountain and overlook the West Lake and Chenghuang Pavilion; you can check in at the popular "The Wizard of Oz 🌿" camera at Jiyi Pavilion; ⏭️Wansong Academy 🎟: Full ticket is 10 yuan, free with park card As the first of the "Four Great Academies in Hangzhou", it has a quiet and comfortable environment and has cultivated countless historical celebrities. It is also the birthplace of the legend that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai "students together for three years"! · It can be said that a humanistic line is half of the history of Hangzhou; If you come to Hangzhou, I highly recommend this citywalk route!
