🌿✨Hangzhou West Lake Nanny-Level Travel Guide｜The Right Way to Encounter Paradise on Earth💦 🚩Top 5 Must-See Attractions ❶ Broken Bridge Snow🌉 The place where the White Snake and Xu Xian met! I recommend a stroll in the early morning. The Broken Bridge in the mist is as beautiful as an ink painting.📸 Wearing Hanfu to take photos is amazing! ❷ Su Causeway Spring Dawn🌸 A romantic promenade with "six hanging bridges with willows and peach blossoms." Renting a bicycle (💰30 yuan/hour) for a ride is super relaxing~ ❸ Three Pools Mirroring the Moon🌕 The prototype of the pattern on the back of the 1 yuan banknote! It is recommended to take a rowing boat (🛶50 yuan/person) for a closer look. Remember to bring coins for creative photos! ❹ Leifeng Pagoda Sunset🏯 Climb the tower to overlook the panoramic view of West Lake (🎫40 yuan). The wood carvings inside the tower tell the story of the Legend of the White Snake. The golden top reflecting on the lake at dusk is super stunning! ❺ Calm Lake Autumn Moon🍵 The best spot for moon viewing at West Lake! After a tiring walk, you must try the Longjing tea at the lakeside tea house (🍵58 yuan/person). Enjoying it with sweet-scented osmanthus cake while watching the cruise ships is super healing~ 🚌Transportation Guide Take Exit C of Longxiangqiao Station on Subway Line 1 and walk for 5 minutes to Hubin Wharf. The West Lake electric sightseeing bus is recommended (💚Green Line, 40 yuan for the whole journey) 🥢Food Radar ▫️Lou Wai Lou: A century-old restaurant, must-try West Lake Vinegar Fish + Dongpo Pork ▫️Zhi Wei Guan: Freshly made Dingsheng Cake and Cat Ear Noodles are super authentic ▫️Hu Pan Ju: Sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root starch with crab roe soup dumplings is amazing 💌Tips ✅ Avoid crowds by visiting from 6:00-8:00 am ✅ Wear comfortable sneakers!
