From West Lake to the Waves: A Scenic Journey Through Hangzhou, Ningbo, and Zhoushan

#chinatravelitinerary My trip began at the serene West Lake in Hangzhou, where willow trees swayed gently over calm waters and misty pagodas peeked through the morning haze. A peaceful boat ride offered stunning views of the lake’s timeless beauty. Leaving the lake behind, I strolled along the Qiantang River, where the river breeze and cityscape created a perfect blend of nature and modern life. Next, I traveled to Ningbo, exploring the rich history of Tianyi Pavilion, China’s oldest private library, and enjoying the lively old streets filled with local flavors. Finally, I reached Da Qing Mountain in Zhoushan, where rugged cliffs met the endless blue sea. Hiking through lush trails and overlooking the vast ocean, I felt a deep connection to nature, ending my journey with breathtaking coastal views and refreshing sea air.
