I hope the following guide will help the sisters who plan to travel to Hangzhou, and I wish everyone a happy play!
Hangzhou's 8 most popular photo spots, post them on your social media and win the likes!
Hangzhou, a city intoxicated with elegance and culture. I've spent 10 years here, and every experience at West Lake is a spiritual journey. I've compiled 9 of my favorite photo spots, come with me and post them on your social media, let everyone praise them!
1. Suilu
A classic photo spot, the beautiful frame of West Lake and Leifeng Tower, but I heard it might be closed this month, I don't know if we can go in the future. But drones with telephoto lenses can fly over it.
2. My Heart Imprint Pavilion
Buy a boat ticket to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon at Lakeside Park One, you can see the 'My Heart Imprint Pavilion', now you can capture the sunset, don't miss it. If there are many people, you can wait until the staff urge you to get on the boat and take a quick shot!
3. Jingci Temple
* Location: 56 Nanshan Road, West Lake District
* Time: 6:30~17:00
* Admission: 10 yuan
I personally think it's a great spot to take a photo with Leifeng Tower, to feel the classical beauty of Hangzhou.
4. Flower Harbor Viewing Fish
The beautiful scenery in the early morning, navigate directly to Lakeside Residence to find the spot, with Leifeng Tower as the background, the sun rises from behind the tower in summer, it's breathtaking.
5. Hangzhou Botanical Garden
* Location: Hangzhou Botanical Garden
* Time: 9:00~16:30
* Admission: 10 yuan
The popular Buddha head in Hangzhou is in the Han Meilin Art Museum in the Botanical Garden, it has a unique flavor. There are many people taking pictures, you need to queue.
6. Nangao Peak
Navigate directly to: Chengwang Pavilion, climb to the top of the mountain platform, overlooking the beautiful panorama of West Lake, the sunset is even more charming, but it requires a bit of determination to hike.
7. Dai Color Reaching the Sky
The location is in Maojiabu, this spot allows you to feel the unique charm of Hangzhou's Jiangnan water town.
8. Fifteen Kui Lane
Old Hangzhou has a rich heritage, near the Balkan Inn there is a spot where you can take a picture of Wangxian Pavilion, as if you were in Kyoto.
About Hangzhou Transportation:
* You can arrive by high-speed rail at 'Hangzhou Station' or 'Hangzhou East Station', avoid choosing 'Hangzhou West Station' which is far from the scenic area. If you choose to fly, you can choose 'Xiaoshan Airport', take Metro Line 1 to 'Longxiangqiao' station, which is near West Lake.
Some photo Tips:
* Get up early to avoid the crowd, the light in the morning and evening is more charming.
* Check the weather in advance, but Hangzhou has its unique beauty in both sunny and rainy days, if you catch a snowfall, you're in luck. Flower Harbor Viewing Fish

Weekend guide to praying for blessings at Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou and half-day trip around Shanghai.
Because I just bought a new car and I'm nervous about driving it, I plan to go to Lingyin Temple to get a peace talisman and find some comfort. So, taking advantage of the weekend, I arrived in Hangzhou one day early from Shanghai and went up to the temple early the next morning to pray for blessings.
🚉Transportation guide:
Depart from Shanghai, buy high-speed rail tickets at will.
🗓Itinerary review:
At eight o'clock, get up and take a taxi to Lingyin Temple. Head straight to the scenic area and the temple.
Feilai Peak scenic area ticket is 45 yuan. Lingyin Temple is inside Feilai Peak scenic area. Buy Lingyin Temple ticket after entering the scenic area, which costs 30 yuan.
Because our goal is simple, to pray for safety on the car with lucky charms and popular 18-bead bracelets, and to ensure safety. Later, we also bought white jade Bodhi bracelets to protect our careers, hoping that we can all be safe, healthy, and successful in our work.
After entering, each person can receive a free incense. The incense and fire are outside and can be lit from the main entrance of the Daxiong Baodian.
There can be no open flames in the temple, prepare some change to offer golden incense.
We each paid our respects at the main halls, then took advantage of the sparse crowd to descend the mountain. Time was tight, let's come back next time to explore other places~
📝Attention tips:
1️⃣Recently, Lingyin Temple has been very popular and there are a lot of people. It is recommended to go early! There are already many cars around 8:30 am. We returned around 11:30 am and the tunnel was already congested, and there were also many people entering the scenic area.
2️⃣Wearing flat shoes for walking, still a bit tired from head to toe.
3️⃣Go inside the temple to buy prayer beads, all of which have been blessed and are the most authentic and genuine.
4️⃣If you take a taxi there, you can queue up for a taxi or take a bus back. We didn't wait and walked four kilometers back to where we were staying...got some exercise.
When you come to Hangzhou, you must go and see Lingyin Temple!
When you come to Hangzhou, you must go and see Lingyin Temple! || How can you miss this super beautiful Buddhist holy site when you come to Hangzhou!
👉🏻[Lingyin Temple]
Lingyin Temple really makes people feel like they've walked into a fairyland 🥰
All around are mountains and forests, with the sound of flowing water and the sight of countless Buddhist flags and ringing bells.

👉🏻[Yongfu Temple]
In addition, there is also Yongfu Temple near Lingyin Temple, which is also a must-visit place!
This ancient Buddhist temple has a simple and elegant architectural style.
Inside, there are many precious cultural relics and historical sites 🥰.
Arriving at Yongfu Temple, I feel myself becoming calm.
It feels like my soul has been purified 👏🏻
If you love history and culture, don't miss out on Yongfu Temple!
1⃣️Route recommendation: Take a taxi directly to Gate 6 of Feilai Peak, where there are few people. Walk in and you will reach Yongfu Temple. After visiting Yongfu Temple, you can walk for 20-30 minutes to Lingyin Temple, avoiding the busiest areas! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
2️⃣️Food recommendation: [Ci Cup Coffee] ☕ is delicious! There are also vegetarian chicken and other snacks in Lingyin Temple, all worth trying~
3️⃣️Eighteen Seeds: Both Yongfu Temple and Lingyin Temple are available, and everyone can decide based on their own feelings~
Wishing everyone's dreams come true and everything goes well 🤗🤗🤗

Prince Bay Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Who would believe this is Taiziwan Park in December
📍《Taiziwan Park》
The vibrant colors of early winter~ Romantic and warm-hearted~
In the beautiful city of Hangzhou, there is a place that intoxicates people, and it is Taiziwan Park. Located in the southwest corner of West Lake, this park is famous for its romantic feelings and brilliant flower scenes. No matter when you come, Taiziwan Park can bring you different surprises in four seasons, allowing you to immerse yourself in the embrace of nature.
The most beautiful seasons in Taiziwan are undoubtedly spring and autumn. There are blooming cherry blossoms and tulips in spring, colorful forests and red leaves in autumn, and the winter in Taiziwan is also unique. From the color change of the plane trees, to the yellow ginkgo, from the red maple all over the sky, to the golden Taxodium.
The fir leaves at the entrance of the park gradually fall under the breeze, and the water surface is covered with a layer of golden pine leaves, which is as beautiful as a fairy tale world.
There is a combination of evergreen trees and dead trees in the park, and the color is particularly layered. Although it lacks the red and green interlacing, it is even more stunning. There is also a mountain spring from Yuhuang Mountain. The stream in winter is particularly clear, a golden reflection, just like a flowing picture scroll, vividly showing the beauty and tranquility of nature.
A gust of wind blows, and the leaves dance, like a free-falling elf, enjoying the pleasure of freedom in the air. The trouble-free tree, also known as the golden tree, is not in vain.
The soft afternoon light, slowly shooting between the bright red maple leaves, transparent texture, blurred light and shadow, starlight mottled!
Listen to the rustling of the leaves in the wind, watch the stream slowly flowing,
Occasionally, you will encounter a few bold birds, take a few light jumps on the ground and fly elsewhere. I will sit on the wooden chair,
I will also lie on the grass with my head up to look at the trees and the sky,
To feel that dazzling and warm light,
Listen to the praise of others and yourself for the beautiful scenery!
Where is the next destination? Then take your lover and set off first, come on! Feel the romance of Taiziwan Park in early winter!
The Prince Bay in West Lake during autumn, how can it be ten times more beautiful than spring?
Have you been enchanted by the maple leaves here in Prince Bay in autumn? I just came back from there, and I was really shocked by the beautiful scenery!
About the maple leaf season, the time when the maple leaves are red to the extreme has not yet arrived, only a very few trees on the shady side are completely red. But there is no light under the tree, the color tone is too dark. I personally prefer the current maple leaves of green, yellow and orange, which are colorful under the sun. Plus, the water quality in Prince Bay is very good, it is blue-green, and there is a cool color in the warm color of the maple leaves, which is too great. Maple leaf viewing date prediction: In the recent week, the green is gradually less, and most of the maple leaves turn from yellow to orange. In the next week, the maple leaves are almost yellow, and the orange tone is enhanced. In mid-December, the maple leaves enter the orange-red stage, and they are about to be completely red. Maple leaf viewing time: 7-9 am, there will be morning mist in Prince Bay. 14-16 in the afternoon, the afternoon sun is very gentle. My pictures were taken around 3 pm. It's best to come on non-weekends. My highly recommended West Lake maple leaf viewing route: Quyuan Fenghe-Sudi (there is a colorful maple tree) or Guozhuang (park card is free)-Huagang Guanyu-Prince Bay-Hupao Park. In addition, there are Jiuxi and Meiling South Road, which are a bit far apart and not very convenient. You can go there when you have time.
90% of people who visit Hangzhou will miss this place
When people think of traveling to Hangzhou, the first thing that comes to mind is West Lake, but there is such a hidden niche attraction near West Lake, which is the Prince Bay Park in Hangzhou. Although it is very close to West Lake, many people will ignore it~ Only when you enter here will you understand what is truly picturesque. It's really too beautiful! Especially the scenery is best at 3-4 pm.

octavia_serenemorgenstern The stunning autumn scenery of West Lake is in Taiziwan
🍁 The first wave of maple leaves in Hangzhou has quietly turned red in Taiziwan Park. Don't miss this beautiful park when you come to West Lake to enjoy the autumn.
📍Location: West Lake Taiziwan Park, Hangzhou
🚶🏻Route: West Gate ➡️ Small Church ➡️ Fanghuai Pavilion ➡️ Youran Pavilion ➡️ Big Windmill ➡️ North Gate
⚠️Small tips:
It takes about 1-1.5 hours to stroll and take photos. It's best to go in the morning when there are fewer tourists and the light is softer.
The most beautiful tree is just a few dozen meters from the west gate, and then near the Fanghuai Pavilion, where you can also take some backlit shots of the red maples.
The metasequoia near the big windmill has also turned golden.

Come to Xixi to listen to the reed festival, and encounter the 'Melad' style scenery
The autumn color and charm of Xixi Wetland are all in the reed flowers and persimmons of Yanshui Fishing Village. Go to Xixi Wetland to 'listen to the reed festival' for fun, and embark on a study tour of vascular bundles.
Hand-folded lotus flowers, roast a chicken wrapped in lotus leaf that Hong Qigong loves the most, make the most IN pulp painting, conduct a hydrophobic experiment, unlock the Xixi Zhaowang painting, 'knock on the bamboo song and dance in front of the door, reward money and good words to report to the Jade Emperor.'

The custom of dragon boat racing at the deep pool mouth of Xixi Wetland began in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty, and by the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong even bestowed it as 'Dragon Boat Victory Meeting' when he went down to Jiangnan, and its fame spread far and wide.
How to play in Xixi Wetland?
Xixi Wetland is very large, divided into free and paid areas. The park is an irregular quadrilateral with multiple entrances. For many people who come for the first time, they will be confused about how to play. I will share my experience from multiple visits.
The whole wetland has a maximum depth of 5.2km from east to west, and a shorter depth of 2.2km to 3.5km from north to south. So crossing in any direction is a test of physical strength. Although the scenery varies in each direction, it all involves water, plants and other natural landscapes. For the first time visitors, it is recommended to walk around the free area of Wen Er West Road, along the Fu Dike to the Jiang Village Slow Life Market, or you can take a boat, basically presenting the essence of the wetland.
For those who have the opportunity to come multiple times, in addition to the free area, you can start from the paid scenic area that most people choose at the entrance of Zhoujiacun on Tianmushan Road. The ticket is 70, it is cheaper to book online in advance, or you can make a reservation for a teahouse or restaurant in the scenic area, which can basically exempt the ticket fee. Other places like Wujia Bay, Hongyuan, Xixi Paradise, and the entrance of Wen San Road can also be visited.
In terms of transportation, the entrance of the free zone on Wen Er Road is directly accessible by Metro Line 19, and Zhoujiacun is directly accessible by Metro Line 3. The other entrances need to be combined with buses or walking, which is relatively inconvenient.
Each season has its own characteristics in the wetland, and the vegetation will present different landscapes, so it is worth visiting frequently for people who live nearby or have the conditions. Hangzhou also provides discounts for local citizens or residents with residence permits. Apply for a Hangzhou City Huimin Cultural Travel Card to enter unlimited times. The annual fee is only 29.9, and it also includes many attractions in Hangzhou and nearby, such as Lin'an Qingshan Lake, Tonglu Yaolin Wonderland, etc., which is very cost-effective.
