Where Venice Meets Jiangnan Water Towns

#chinatravel Just 5km from West Lake, this 11.5 sq km maze of waterways is China’s only urban wetland and a living museum of traditional aquatic lifestyles. Unlike manicured gardens, Xixi thrives on wild beauty—600+ plant species, 100+ bird types, and villages where fishermen still train cormorants at dawn. 📍 Entrances: Zhoujia Village Gate (main) or Hongyuan Winery Gate (quieter)

Hangzhou After Dark: Campus Charm & Lively Streets 🌆✨ Soak up Hangzhou’s enchanting after-hours vibe, where historic culture meets buzzing city lights! Explore famous university lanes, atmospheric night stadiums, and nature’s tranquility—all on one memorable stroll. Your City Night Route: Start at Zhejiang University (No. 38, Zheda Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou), where the campus comes alive from 19:00-21:00 (weekdays) or till 21:00 on weekends. Walk tree-lined paths as students bike past, grabbing a quick street snack from vendors—great shots of illuminated facades, neat library angles, and laid-back campus life await! Head to Huanglong Sports Centre - Outdoor Football Stadium (1 Huanglong Rd, Xihu District). Evenings buzz with local games or runners on the track—capture the glowing floodlights and candid sports energy. If you have time before sunset, venture to Xixi National Wetland Park (No. 518, Tianmushan Rd). Catch golden hour, with reflections on calm water and boardwalks fringed by willows (Apr-Oct: 07:30-18:30, Oct-Mar: 08:00-17:30, entry ends 1 hour prior). Insta-worthy corners: the misty reeds, arch bridges, and cutesy sunset silhouettes. Entry: ¥80. Tips & Precautions: Hangzhou’s streets are super safe after dark, but stick to main routes for the best lighting and bustling life. Local snacks are cheap and delicious—try roasted yams or sweet tofu pudding near the university. Bring a light jacket; Hangzhou evenings get cool year-round! For wetland visits, check seasonal hours and catch the last ticket slot. #Hangzhou #NightViews #CityWalk #TravelChina #StreetLife#ChinaTravel
