West Lake – The Living Scroll of Hangzhou

#chinatravel For over 1,000 years, this UNESCO World Heritage Site has been China’s poetic soul—where emperors, painters, and poets sought inspiration. Spanning 6.5 square kilometers, its "Ten Scenic Views" change with the seasons like verses in an endless poem. 🌅 Why It Captivates ✔ Landscape Alchemy: Human-made islands and causeways so perfect they seem natural ✔ Cultural DNA: Where Tang poetry, Song paintings, and Ming gardens converge
