I didn't have the chance to experience the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou during the Asian Games, but I found stunning gradient colors in Hangzhou at the end of November. I've been to Hangzhou many times, and in the past, it was more about nostalgia, missing everything about my school days. Every time I went there, I would stroll along the route I used to take, reminiscing about the 151 tram on Yan'an Road. With two braids trailing behind me, occasionally a braid would come loose, the driver would get off the bus, pull the wire a few times, align it with the track, and then continue driving. This time, I was more in search of beautiful scenery. Hangzhou at the end of November was like a knocked-over palette. Cycling on the road from Lingyin to Beishan Street, the sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, and the golden plane tree leaves slowly fell with the wind. All worries can be put aside for the moment, and there is an irresistible urge to shout out loud. It's really too comfortable. From Jiuxi Yanshu to Lingyin Yongfu Zen Temple, then to Xiling Bridge and Bai Causeway, along Nanshan Road from Taiziwan to Huagang Guanyu, the golden or earthy yellow leaves are interspersed with red Japanese maples, reflected on the water surface, it's hard not to feel that the people of Hangzhou are fortunate.

To be honest, I don't really like the color tone of West Lake during the day in winter. It's more suitable for basking in the warm sun and taking a leisurely stroll. But when it comes to taking photos, it's not as good as other seasons... but, I really like the early morning in winter, the moment after sunrise. It's a soft pink, a gentle tranquility~ . This set of photos was taken on Gushan Road - Bai Causeway. Although it was cold in the early morning, the benches facing the sun were still full of people, some alone, some in pairs, some with their families... 📆 Photo date: 2025.01.03 7:00_8:00 . 📸 Photo tips: ▶️ In my opinion, silhouettes look better, slightly blurred photos look better, and large apertures look better (don't focus on the person) ▶️ There will be many hand-rowed boats passing by. Wait for it to slowly sail into the shimmering light⭐, and it will be like a boat full of dreams pressing down on the Milky Way . 📷: sony➕RAW

West Lake, also known as Qiantang Lake, is located at No.1 Longjing Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China, and is one of the three famous lakes in the south of the Yangtze River. Here is a clear introduction to West Lake: Geographical Location and Area Geographical location: In the western part of Hangzhou's urban area, surrounded by mountains on the south, west, and north sides, adjacent to the urban area to the east, and separated from the Qiantang River by mountains to the south. Area: The catchment area is 21.22 square kilometers, and the lake area is 6.38 square kilometers. Geology and Formation There are various theories about the formation of West Lake, including the lagoon formation theory and the pond-building theory. The lagoon formation theory suggests that West Lake was originally a bay, which was gradually cut off from the sea by the accumulation of silt at the two capes on the south and north sides of the bay, eventually forming a lagoon. The pond-building theory, on the other hand, posits that West Lake was once connected to the sea, but during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Huaxin of Qiantang County built the 'Sea Defense Dam' to prevent seawater intrusion, thus isolating West Lake from the sea and turning it into a lake. Ecological Environment The mountains around West Lake center on the lake and can be divided into four levels from near to far. The lake is divided into several water surfaces by the Bai Causeway, Su Causeway, Yanggong Causeway, and Zhaogong Causeway, and there are three islands in the lake. The annual runoff in the West Lake basin is 14 million cubic meters, with a storage capacity of nearly 14 million cubic meters. Historical Culture West Lake is a famous tourist destination in China, known as a 'National 5A-Level Tourist Attraction'. On June 24, 2011, the West Lake Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou was inscribed on the 'World Heritage List'. Throughout history, many literati and poets have left their praises for West Lake, such as Su Dongpo's 'I would compare West Lake to Xizi, she looks all the more charming for her light makeup or heavy application.'

Coming from Beishan Street and walking through the White Causeway, the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, looking back at the faintly visible Broken Bridge Remnant Snow, I finally understand the origin of the name 'Broken Bridge Remnant Snow'. Although it's early morning, it seems that the rapidly changing temperature has been thrown out of the clouds, as if I am in the silver-dressed romantic fairy tale world of West Lake, shocking‼️ This was taken in February 2022📷, but the feeling at that time is still fresh in memory. Avoiding the peak crowd, taking advantage of the increasingly thick snowflakes❄️, wandering all the way in the heart of West Lake, a few flat boats on the lake, swaying, as if in a fairyland, counting the footprints👣 just covered with layers of snow on the road, guessing that I am the how many people step into this extraordinary place, (haha shy). About taking pictures📷: 1️⃣Some people ask, why is the white particularly conspicuous in the picture, as if the camera is broken, I smile and say to my friend, no no no! The flash is on, just to show the details of the snowflakes; 2️⃣Actually, most of the time when taking pictures, it's a 16:9 picture, and it seems to lose some flavor after cropping, and the vertical format is more casual; 3️⃣From the White Causeway all the way to Gushan Park, turn back and go to the outside building, I can't move my feet, this heavy snow has been long awaited, under the contrast of few pedestrians, as my friend said, it's extremely romantic, so I also took it in 4️⃣The snow kept falling at that time, or mainly enjoying the snow scene of West Lake, holding a large umbrella, also to better protect the camera, and can resist some cold. When I got to Xiling Bridge, it was almost nine o'clock, and the vehicles and pedestrians gradually became congested, so I moved on to the next destination. I want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate. Indeed, the fairy tale world of West Lake in the heavy snow is also a unique one. It's important to go out and play in the snow‼️Keeping warm is also important, without heavy burdens, a thermos cup, a small camera, an umbrella and a mobile phone are all, go out lightly. It has also cooled down during this period, looking forward to the heavy snow in Hangzhou again!

Day1 Arriving in Hangzhou at four o'clock in the afternoon, I hurriedly checked in and put down my luggage, then took the subway to Wushan Square Station and walked into the Imperial Street of the Southern Song Dynasty. Not long after I walked into the pedestrian street, I saw a well-decorated archway. I walked in curiously and suddenly discovered that it was the side entrance of the Bronze Sculpture Museum as mentioned in the guide (probably I went in with the mentality of looking at an Internet celebrity store. Found a museum quality feel). Exhibits worth seeing After wandering around a corner, I saw many people queuing up, whose names I had seen before, so I continued wandering around for half an hour. As the sky got dark, I was seated without waiting, which left me with a wonderful first impression of Hangzhou food. Day2 I got up at seven o'clock, had the national breakfast, and then took the subway to Longxiangqiao Station and headed to West Lake. As soon as I walked to the West Lake, I saw a squirrel (the first time I was so close and not afraid of people), and I took one of my favorite animal photos so far. Behind me, there was a white cat staring at the squirrel under the tree. . When we walked to the boating point, it suddenly started raining heavily. The mountains in the distance were hazy and the sound of raindrops made everything in front of us more like the misty rain in Jiangnan that I imagined. Travel along the direction of Santan Reflecting the Moon - Leifeng Pagoda. After having a lunch next to Leifeng Pagoda (digression: if you want to spend a day in the depths of the West Lake, it is better to bring bread), then head towards Huagang Fish Viewing - Su Causeway - Baidi go ahead. Literary people all write that the willow breeze blows on the face, but I prefer the maple leaves on the roadside, which are green and beautiful. Just walking and walking like this, after walking through the white embankment in the "green poplar shade and white sand embankment", I finally ended the day's trip with 33,000 steps. Day3 In the morning, we visited Zijingang Campus of Zhejiang University. Because I was particularly impressed by a primary school text about tide watching in the Qiantang River, in order to realize my dream, I went to the Qiantang River to watch the tide. Although it wasn't the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was on the 15th day of the lunar calendar, so it should be a high tide, but after waiting for half an hour, I still didn't see anything. After asking for directions, we discovered that we were ten minutes late... It was still early in the day, and I suddenly wanted to check out the local vegetable market to look for the mark of this city, so I randomly selected a vegetable market on the map. There is actually an "Internet celebrity shop" inside, and there are indeed some elderly locals lining up here. When I walked in, I saw that it was selling cypress wrapped in green onions (fried dough sticks filled with dough and fried with sauce? But it was surprisingly delicious) . Finally, we went to Hangzhou CBD. The sunset hit the buildings, which was a beautiful sight beyond the guide. Itinerary summary Day1 Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street Day2West Lake Day3 Zhejiang University - Qiantang River - Vegetable Market (Scallion Stew, West Lake Fish in Vinegar) Day4 Lingyin Temple-Faxi Temple-Suzhou
