I come to Hangzhou every year, and West Lake is definitely a must-see place. When I was a child, I went on a pilgrimage to the paradise on earth. When I was middle-aged, I started to visit the Broken Bridge and the Snow. In my old age, I went on a pilgrimage to visit Su Dongpo, the Xiling Seal Society, the Zhejiang Museum, and the Hangzhou Museum, and I also went to see the celebrities who were buried there. For me, traveling is no longer a matter of coming and going in a hurry. Wandering along the West Lake day after day. From Su Causeway to Su Dongpo Memorial Hall, along the way, the journey with Su Dongpo as the pilgrimage destination has passed through many places. As long as you come across them, you can't miss them. I come to Zhejiang Museum and Hangzhou Museum to study almost every two years, and of course I also visit the Tea Museum, Silk Museum, etc. Apart from Leifeng Pagoda and Lingyin Temple, Hangzhou is also a paradise for cultural tourism.

My child is a loyal fan of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". I have read the whole set of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" countless times. I took him to check in at Changbai Mountain last winter. This year, when I passed by Hangzhou when I returned to my hometown, it was a must-see. I started from the benches by the West Lake, Louwailou, and Xiling Seal Society. Then I went to Xiling Seal Society and Wushanju on Hefang Street. I accompanied him to search, take photos, and check in at each stop. I also bought a lot of peripherals and encountered a lot of rice. There were surprises and fun along the way. Discover more beauty for the things you like in your heart. It was really a good experience.
