A must-visit destination in Hangzhou, plan your visit this May Day holiday! Above is heaven, below are Suzhou and Hangzhou! The most beautiful place on earth is Hangzhou! In spring, every step in the West Lake Scenic Area is a picturesque scene, with colorful flowers blooming everywhere. Azaleas, wintersweet, water lilies, peonies... complement the emerald green West Lake, creating an unparalleled beauty. In mid-April, I visited West Lake specifically for flower viewing, and here's a fresh guide for you👇🏻 ⛰【Hangzhou Flower Viewing Guide】Yongjin Park 📍Address: Intersection of Nanshan Road and West Lake Avenue, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province 🚗Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to Ding'an Road Station, Exit B, then walk about 900 meters; or take bus No. 4, 12, or 102 to Yongjinmen East Station. 🕙Opening hours: All day 💰Admission: Free 🌟Highlights: Yongjin Gate in Yongjin Park, one of Hangzhou's ancient city gates, was once an important water gate of the Southern Song Dynasty's Lin'an City. The most famous Yongjin Pool is known for its bronze statue of a golden ox. Now, the park is in its azalea blooming season, adding to the vibrant spring atmosphere in April. The water lilies in the pond are also about to bloom, so you can enjoy them soon! 📌Tips: 1️⃣Parks along West Lake are interconnected, with no clear boundaries between them. Yongjin Park is adjacent to Liulang Wenying Park on one side and Hubin No.1 Park on the other. 2️⃣The park is connected to West Lake Tiandi, which offers a wide variety of dining options. You can choose a lakeside restaurant for a meal with stunning views! 3️⃣Yongjin Park is especially recommended for evening visits. The sunset casts a shimmering glow on the lake, creating a breathtaking scene with the willow branches, peach blossoms, and azaleas along the shore. 4️⃣The best spot for sunset viewing in Yongjin Park is near the Grandma's Home restaurant. Use the peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, and azaleas along the West Lake shore as your foreground, with the sunset glow, antique boats, and the golden lake surface in the background for stunning photos! 5️⃣The park is currently in full bloom with azaleas: along the West Lake, on the green lawns, and along the banks of the Golden Ox Pool... There are also snowball viburnum, irises, and other flowers. 6️⃣The Golden Ox Pool near the square is a great place to admire water lilies!
