I found a Hangzhou citywalk day tour that is even more fun than the West Lake

For the Dragon Boat Festival in Hangzhou, instead of the crowded West Lake and Lingyin, I recommend this super niche and eye-pleasing Hangzhou one-day citywalk route❗️ It's all about eye protection and lung nourishment with greenery along the way🌲 · 🗺️ Route share: Hupao Park — Hangzhou Zoo/Children's Park (suitable for taking kids🉑) — Manjuelong — Yangmeiling — Li'an Temple — Jiuxi Yanshu ⏱️ The total walking distance is about 7km, with a reference time of 4-5 hours for walking and playing. · 📸 1️⃣ 'Hupao Park' The entrance is a forest of dawn redwoods🌲 The duckweed, lotus leaves, and carps in the pond are serene and dreamy. This place also hides the third-best spring in the world—Hupao Spring, where many locals come with buckets to collect spring water every day. 2️⃣ 'Manjuelong' Even without the fragrance of osmanthus, this place is still worth a visit~ Artistic village, various petty-bourgeois☕ shops, and the same kind of bathhouse from 'Spirited Away'. Climbing up the tea mountain from the small path beside the bathhouse, you will find the trail where Li Shutong wrote 'Farewell'～🌳 There is also a swing on the mountain, from which you can overlook the entire West Lake! 3️⃣ 'Jiuxi' From Yangmeiling down to Li'an Temple and then to Jiuxi Yanshu, there will be fewer people on this route than entering from the main entrance of Jiuxi. The water of Jiuxi Lake is azure blue on sunny days, comparable to 'Little Jiuzhaigou', and there are also waterfall streams and tea garden trails, very comfortable～
