100% Green Oasis: Underrated Summer Retreats by West Lake!!!

100% Green Oasis: Underrated Summer Retreats by West Lake!! After the rainy season, scorching heat dominates Hangzhou's unbearable summer. Today I'm sharing these hidden summer escapes near West Lake—cool, photogenic, and worth bookmarking! 1⃣️ Yuhu Bay: A massive natural oxygen bar by West Lake, serene with few crowds. Listen to raindrops and birdsong among pavilions and crystal-clear reflections! 2⃣️ Yunsong Study: 100% greenery immersion, rainy-day comfort perfected. Sit by the window and daydream for hours. 3⃣️ Breeze-Ruffled Lotus at Quyuan: "A sunny West Lake loses to a rainy one, a rainy West Lake loses to a misty one." The mist-shrouded lake is truly a fairyland on earth. 4⃣️ Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies: The ultimate outdoor hike—a natural forest oxygen bar with tea fields, waterfalls, and streams perfect for summer water play. 5⃣️ Yanggong Causeway: Summer evenings call for solo moments on wooden steps—sipping coffee, nibbling cake, gazing at West Lake with the breeze. 6⃣️ Prince Bay Park: A giant natural energy vortex—distant mountains, waterfalls, windmills, benches... so breathtaking. Life should be "wasted" in places like this! In this green-surged summer, where no ceilings confine, relaxation peaks. Good finds are meant to be shared! Raw Cacao Berry Latte Coffee bean aroma blends perfectly with berry tartness, milk, and cacao. Stir and savor the rich, velvety sip! Berry Cold Brew Square Bottle offers sweet aftertastes—bursting with berry fragrance, ultra-refreshing, summer in a sip! Berry Coconut Cold Brew Cold brew's slight fermentation tang dances with blueberry sweetness and coconut creaminess—balanced acidity, never cloying, leaving your throat refreshed. Blueberry Cheesecake boasts velvety layers, paired with coffee for the perfect afternoon tea! West Lake · Hangzhou
