It was as if time stood still, leaving only the peaceful beauty of the moment. 📍Address: Xihu, Hangzhou, China, 310007

Hangzhou, a city known as "paradise on earth", is famous for its beautiful natural scenery and long history and culture. As the capital of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou not only has the beautiful West Lake, but also has rich historical relics and unique Jiangnan water town style. Through this trip to Hangzhou, I deeply felt the unique charm and cultural heritage of this city. Every scenic spot and every street made me nostalgic for this city. First time in Hangzhou: The charming scenery of West Lake My trip to Hangzhou started from West Lake. The beauty of West Lake is far more than just the superficial scenery. My first impression of West Lake is tranquility and freshness. The lake water is as green as emerald, surrounded by mountains. There are several small boats floating on the lake. When the breeze blows, ripples appear on the lake surface, and the scenery is picturesque. Standing on the Broken Bridge and looking at the Leifeng Pagoda in the distance, the scenery of lakes and mountains is intertwined, like an ancient landscape painting, as if entering a poetic world. I chose to stroll around the lakeside attractions such as Huagang Fish Viewing and Liulangwenying. Huagangguanyu is famous for its refreshing garden landscape and tranquil lake. Fish are swimming in the pond, lotus leaves are lush and green, and everything is full of vitality and tranquility. Walking on the trail, the air is fresh and you feel like you are integrated into nature. Whether taking a leisurely stroll or sitting quietly by the lake, the scenery of West Lake makes me feel a kind of spiritual peace. What attracts me most on West Lake is "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon", one of the "Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake". I took a small boat and approached the island in the middle of the lake. I saw the three towers reflected on the water. When the water rippled, the reflections were slightly distorted, like the glow of the moon. The beauty of West Lake lies not only in its scenery, but also in the profound cultural heritage behind it. The legends, ancient poems, and even the sound of stringed instruments all add a sense of mystery to West Lake. Hangzhou: a blend of ancient charm and modernity Besides West Lake, Hangzhou has many interesting historical sites. What I particularly like is Lingyin Temple. Lingyin Temple is a Buddhist temple with a thousand-year history. It is backed by Feilai Peak and is surrounded by green trees and fresh air. Inside the temple, the incense is burning brightly and there is a constant stream of tourists and believers. When you enter the temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the ancient buildings and exquisite Buddha statues, which exude an atmosphere of solemnity and tranquility. Standing in the courtyard of the temple, I couldn’t help but close my eyes and listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the ancient stone carvings. My heart couldn’t help but become calm. In addition, the streets and alleys of Hangzhou are also quite charming, especially those cultural landscapes that combine modernity and tradition, such as Hefang Street and the Southern Song Imperial Street. In these places, you can not only taste authentic Hangzhou snacks, such as West Lake vinegar fish and Dongpo pork, but also appreciate the traditional Jiangnan architectural style. The small shops on the street, the ancient teahouses, and the leisurely river beside them all give people a sense of historical sedimentation. I walked for a long time in Hefang Street. Not only did I taste the delicious Hangzhou snacks, I also listened to a traditional Yue opera performance in an old teahouse and felt the profound cultural atmosphere of Hangzhou. Food and Shopping: Taste of Hangzhou I am intoxicated by the delicious food in Hangzhou. The first thing we have to mention is Hangzhou's Longjing tea. As the birthplace of Longjing tea, Hangzhou's Longjing tea has a special flavor. I tasted Longjing tea in a small teahouse next to the West Lake. The tea soup was fragrant, mellow and had a long aftertaste. Paired with tea are some Jiangnan snacks, such as crispy mooncakes and red bean paste buns, which are sweet and delicious with a strong Jiangnan flavor. In addition to tea and dim sum, Hangzhou's local snacks are also very distinctive. West Lake Vinegar Fish is a traditional dish in Hangzhou. The fish is tender and the sour and spicy vinegar sauce penetrates into the fish, making it delicious. There is also Dongpo pork, which is bright red in color, fatty but not greasy, and has a mellow taste. I also tried the Hangzhou soup dumplings and xiaolongbao. The delicious soup burst in my mouth and was even more delicious with a little bit of ginger vinegar. Every bite of this delicious food makes me feel the warmth and heaviness of the city of Hangzhou. In terms of shopping, Hangzhou also left a deep impression on me. As a city with a long history, Hangzhou's silk products are world-renowned. There are numerous silk shops in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, and I bought a silk scarf as a souvenir. Hangzhou silk is not only soft in texture and bright in color, but also rich in traditional cultural heritage. Each scarf seems to carry a thousand-year cultural heritage, making people respect the history and art of this city. Travel tips and suggestions The beauty of Hangzhou is not only reflected in the natural scenery of West Lake, but also in the city’s profound cultural heritage and long historical traditions. For those who plan to travel to Hangzhou, I have a few suggestions: First of all, it is recommended to choose suitable attractions according to your interests. If you like natural scenery, you can choose to visit West Lake and surrounding attractions; if you are interested in history and culture, you can choose to visit cultural sites such as Lingyin Temple and Hefang Street. The attractions in Hangzhou are relatively scattered, so it is recommended to plan your route in advance. Secondly, Hangzhou's weather is most pleasant in spring and autumn, when it is warm and humid, suitable for travel. The West Lake is more crowded in the summer, so it is best to avoid the peak tourist season. In addition, transportation in Hangzhou is very convenient, and the city's bus and subway systems are well developed, allowing tourists to travel easily. Conclusion In general, Hangzhou is a city where nature and humanity blend together. It has both the picturesque beauty of West Lake and a profound historical and cultural heritage. Every sight I saw filled me with awe, and every bite of food I savoured. The beauty of Hangzhou lies not only in its beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, but also in its long-lasting ancient charm. Here, I not only appreciated the charm of nature, but also felt the culture and spirit that this city has passed down for thousands of years. If you also want to experience the unique charm of the Jiangnan water town, Hangzhou is undoubtedly a good place worth visiting.

Taking photos and checking in are also very photogenic, especially in the early morning light, every shot is a blockbuster! 📍Second stop: Three Pools Mirroring the Moon Take a boat from Qianwang Temple Pier to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. The boat ride takes about 15 minutes. After arriving on the island, you can check in at the same shooting location as the 1-yuan RMB ticket. The rate of filming is super high! 📸 Remember to bring your camera, any photo of the lake and mountains will be like a postcard! 📍The third stop: Huagang Fish Viewing Take a boat from Three Pools Mirroring the Moon to Huagang Fish Viewing Pier.

You may even meet cute mandarin ducks and ducks. 📍Fourth stop: Jingci Temple/Leifeng Pagoda You can walk to Jingci Temple and Leifeng Pagoda from Huagangguanyu. The two are only one street apart, so you can choose to go to either one. Jingci Temple is quiet and sparsely populated. If you climb to the highest point of the temple, you can also take pictures of the beautiful Leifeng Pagoda🌟. Although Leifeng Pagoda is famous, there are many people there. Jingci Temple is more suitable for taking photos and relaxing. 📍Fifth stop: Xiling Bridge Take the West Lake Outer Ring Bus from Leifeng Pagoda to Xiling Bridge, or take a sightseeing bus through Su Causeway to Yuewang Temple, and then walk to Xiling Bridge🚶. Although Su Causeway is beautiful, it is really tiring to walk the whole way, so it is recommended to take a car! Xiling Bridge is known as the most beautiful corner in Hangzhou.

If you encounter sunset, you can encounter the romantic "Orange Sea" 🌅, which is great for taking photos! 📍Sixth stop: Broken Bridge Ride a bicycle from Xiling Bridge to Broken Bridge, enjoy the scenery of Hangzhou Beishan Street along the way, and you can see the Broken Bridge with a huge crowd from afar👀.

If you still have energy, you can continue to explore forward👏. 📍Seventh stop: Lakeside Yintai After the tour, take a bus to Lakeside Yintai, where there are many delicious foods nearby. I recommend going to the Three Sisters or Golden Pig on Fengqi Road to try authentic Hangzhou cuisine. After eating and drinking, you can also watch the West Lake Music Fountain to put a perfect end to the day! 💯 💡【Tips】 1. It is recommended to set off around 8 am to avoid the peak of crowds and take better photos! 2. Wear comfortable shoes. Although the itinerary mainly consists of boat and car rides, some attractions still require walking. 3. Bring sunscreen and a hat. There is plenty of sunshine near the West Lake in March, so sun protection is very important! 4. If you want to take pictures of the sunset, it is recommended to check the sunset time in advance. The Xiling Bridge and Broken Bridge in West Lake are both ideal places to take pictures of the sunset.

I've been traveling everywhere since junior high school and have visited more than 40 cities.
