Sisters! Just returned from West Lake with dead legs! But it was absolutely breathtaking 😭 Save this hard-earned guide! ✨【Walking Route】 Broken Bridge Remnant Snow → Bai Causeway → Autumn Moon over Calm Lake → Zhejiang Provincial Museum → Sun Yat-sen Park → Louwailou Restaurant → Xiling Seal Art Society → Breeze-ruffled Lotus at Quyuan Garden → Spring Dawn at Su Causeway → Three Pools Mirroring the Moon 💡【Must-Check Photo Spots】 1️⃣ Broken Bridge sunrise (6am has the fewest people! My WeChat Moments exploded after posting) 2️⃣ Xiling Seal Society's red wall (Hanfu girls must go! The light and shadow are magical) 3️⃣ Aerial view of Breeze-ruffled Lotus (Bring your drone! Lotus leaves taller than people make epic shots) 🍵【Local's Secret Tips】 ▪️ Feed koi at Viewing Fish at Flower Pond (Bring toast! The fish frenzy is spectacular) ▪️ Wutong Tree Boulevard on Beishan Street (4pm light looks like movie stills) ▪️ Yanggong Causeway cycling (Downhill coasting beats rollercoasters) ⚠️【Lessons Learned】 ❌ Avoid hand-rowed boats! 280/hour will make you cry ✅ Take public ferry for just 15 yuan! Same route, same joy! ❌ Leifeng Pagoda elevator queue takes 2 hours... ✅ Opposite Jingci Temple offers better free views! 🍜【Food Rescue】 ✔️ Don't randomly try West Lake vinegar fish! Go to "Ziwei Hall" ✔️ Eat Zhiweiguan's Dingsheng cake while hot! The filling flows! ✔️ Buy Longjing tea only with anti-fake labels (learned the hard way) 💦【2-Day Walking Summary】 West Lake is HUGE!! Hanfu/Qipao sisters remember to bring sneakers to change (Don't copy me crying in embroidered shoes 😭)
