Hangzhou Summer Citywalk | Wandering around Wushan, even the most classic route has its surprises

It's best not to drive to climb Wushan, taking the bus or subway is the best mode of transportation. There are many bus stops near Drum Tower and Qinghefang where you can walk to the mountain's alleys, I took the subway to Jiangcheng Road and then walked to Shiwukuixiang. There is an alley called Xiaoxia Nong, I like to climb the mountain from this alley because it's the quickest way to reach the legendary best spot for viewing (Wangxian Pavilion) (Picture 2) The Citywalk route this time is also quite simple, mainly because after the Grain in Ear, the weather starts to get hot and humid, and during the day you need to walk on roads with more shade (century-old camphor trees can be seen everywhere on Wugong Mountain). The walking route is as follows: climb up the mountain from Xiaoxia Nong — pass by the teahouse — arrive at Chenghuang Temple (entrance fee, optional) — descend from the parking lot to Hangzhou Museum — Dajing Lane. What surprised me was the exhibition at Hangzhou Museum (South Hall). Although after seeing the Zhejiang Museum, you might feel that the exhibits here are not as dazzling, the Warring States crystal cup is the treasure of this museum (Picture), among them, the special exhibition 'A Million Collections - A Museum Collects a City' is very interesting, recording the changes in Hangzhou from 1949-2024, full of the sense of the times and childhood memories. Finally, I went to Dajing Lane and wanted to find a coffee shop to sit down, but ended up sitting by the roadside drinking a cup of homesick Duck Shit Aroma Frozen Lemon Tea. Dajing Lane is a peaceful place amidst the hustle and bustle, and it also hides some small exhibitions, such as 'This Moment in Time - Dunhuang Murals Feitian Special Exhibition', small and exquisite, just like the hidden shops here, requiring time to slowly savor. It's been a long time since I took a bus. In this season of alternating cool and hot weather, sitting on the bus swaying to the destination, casually observing the people and events of this city, is the most cost-effective way to relax. Finally, on the way home, I kept muttering about the 'baked sesame seed cake' that I wanted to eat but didn't, and miraculously, it appeared at the entrance of my community. Thus, today's outing was also perfect.
