The "Ten Scenes of West Lake" from our textbooks back in the day, can we finally check them all off now?

Lazy person's blessing! Here's how to tour West Lake in one day without getting tired, a firsthand guide from a 2002 graduate~ 🚶♂️Super easy route: Wake up naturally → Head straight to Broken Bridge (recommended before 9 AM, fewer people and better for photos) → Stroll slowly along Bai Causeway to Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake (there's a perfect photo spot here) → Take a boat to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon (ticket 55 yuan including admission) → Lunch recommendation: Lou Wai Lou (West Lake Vinegar Fish is a must-try!) → Afternoon walk on Su Causeway (you can rent a shared bike) → Evening visit to Leifeng Pagoda to watch the sunset (ticket 40 yuan, elevator to the top floor saves a lot of effort) 💡Useful tips: 1. Wear comfortable shoes! Although the route is easy, you'll still walk over 10,000 steps 2. Choose a regular boat, no need for the luxury yachts 3. Shared bikes by West Lake are very popular, scan the code quickly if you see an idle one 4. Bring a bottle of water! Nongfu Spring sells for 5 yuan per bottle inside the scenic area 5. The elevator line at Leifeng Pagoda can be long, but it's really worth the wait 🍜Food spots: - Zhiweiguan's Xiaolongbao (Hubin branch) - Xinfeng Snacks (old brand, super cheap) - Lakeside Tea House (experience Hangzhou tea culture) 🏨Accommodation suggestion: Stay near Longxiangqiao Metro Station for convenience. We stayed at Home Inn for just over 200 yuan per night, a 5-minute walk to West Lake 📸Photo tips: - Take portraits at Broken Bridge early - Remember to bring a 1 yuan bill for a photo at Three Pools Mirroring the Moon - The panoramic view from the top of Leifeng Pagoda is amazing
