๐Ÿ“ Best Time to Visit

March - May (spring blossoms) or September - November (crisp autumn weather)

๐Ÿš‡ Getting Around

Hangzhou's metro connects West Lake and Xiaoshan Airport, while water buses cruise the Grand Canal. The city's iconic red public bikes are among the best in China, and hop-on hop-off electric carts circle the lake with ease.

๐Ÿœ Food & Drink

West Lake Vinegar Fish, Longjing Shrimp, Dongpo Pork, and Beggar's Chicken are the pillars of Hangzhou cuisine. Stroll He Fang Street for osmanthus cakes, scallion flatbreads, and Wushan roast poultry โ€” or splurge at legendary restaurants Louwailou and Shanwaishan.

๐Ÿž๏ธ Sights

The Ten Scenes of West Lake shift with every season โ€” Su Causeway in spring bloom, Broken Bridge in winter snow, and Leifeng Pagoda at dusk. Lingyin Temple offers serene mountain calm, West Creek Wetland invites a punt through its waterways, and Longjing Village unfolds in endless rows of tea.
