At the 18th Hangzhou Cultural and Creative Industry Expo, a variety of popular luxury handicrafts, top trendy cultural and creative products, and exquisite art installations are taking the city by storm. From morning to night, you'll walk over 12,000 steps and fill up your phone's memory. The Egyptian exhibition area is a hit in the international exhibition area. The papyrus paintings by artist Mohsen Riyad are also riding the wave of the Egyptian craze at the Shanghai Museum. Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou are really learning from each other in terms of cultural and creative industries. Jellycat and the "doll circle" have also made the Zhejiang Provincial Museum a popular spot! The most surprising is the Danish handmade wool felt by Gry & Sif. It's so cute and adorable that I can't wait to hang it up for Christmas!

In the early summer of Hangzhou, although it is already the plum rain season, the temperature is not high. Compared to previous years, this year's plum rain is considered 'comfortable'. However, whether the temperature will rise to the high heat line remains to be 'wait and see'. So, what is the most beautiful scenery in Hangzhou's summer? It is the blooming of the lotus flowers. The southern landscape of pavilions and terraces, accompanied by the red blossoms amidst the greenery, adds to the graceful, fresh, and romantic beauty. Here are some recommended places in Hangzhou to enjoy the lotus flowers, and this article will first introduce Baima Lake Park. Early summer is a good time to enjoy the lotus at Baima Lake Park. There are almost no tourists here, making it very suitable for a quiet, solitary walk to admire the scenery. Baima Lake attracts the public with its water views, lotus scenery, and house views (Animation Museum), with a long history as the former site of conflicts in the Wu Yue Kingdom. The lotus viewing area at Baima Lake is not far from the entrance, where there is a lotus pond with a nine-curved bridge that allows close contact with the lotus flowers. After the rain, the blooming lotus in the verdant green is even more delicate, and the raindrops densely covering the lotus leaves are the best companions for the flowers. The air is fresh, the landscape is hazy, and the scenery is pleasant.

I found another Prince Bay Park in Binjiang! Although the rose season has passed, the greenery of early summer is really too beautiful! Location: Baima Lake Park Public transport: Take the subway line 1 to 'Xianghu Station', then take a taxi from the station Parking: The most convenient is the P4 parking lot, followed by the P8 parking lot. If you want free parking, you can go to the Jianguo Hotel Baima Lake is really too comfortable! Although the roses are at the end of their season, it's still worth a visit~ The summer greenery of the garden really can't be hidden! There were moments when I felt as if I was in the West Lake and Prince Bay Park! Took a detour with friends to see the house designed by Haiwei Zhongtian·Xiang Yunxiao The exterior design flows with 'platinum aesthetics'

Hi, I am 11🥀 Spring in Hangzhou has reached the next level with its roses, especially those at Baima Lake, which have blossomed into my heart. They are beautiful without being overly flashy, and the rose arches are particularly reminiscent of Southern France. Currently, 80% of the roses have bloomed, some are about to bloom but are already withering, and it is expected that by May Day, the sea of flowers will still be a sight to behold, so if you want to enjoy the flowers, you should hurry. 📍Navigate to Baima Lake Park Phase II 🅿️Parking available at Baima Lake Parking Lots P4, P8 🚇Take the subway to Jucai Road, then a 13-minute taxi ride 📆Photo taken on April 25, 2024 📸Photography Tips ✔️Rose arches: Running or spinning through them brings more vitality to the photos ✔️Flower wall: You can take a shot as if 'diving into spring' ✔️Rose path: Find a few flowers to use as a foreground to frame the shot ✔️Lakeside seat frame: Use the hollow frame of a seat as the foreground, with a person sitting on the lawn and roses in the background, to create a picture-frame effect ✔️Outfit: White or beige long dresses are very photogenic, and straw hats are versatile and can also be used as interactive props
