Of course, the most convenient way to travel in Hangzhou is to live in the West Lake District. If you come to Hangzhou for the first time, I suggest you live as close to the West Lake as possible. You can enjoy two completely different views of the West Lake during the day and at night, which will definitely make you feel glad that you have been here.

The scenic spots around the West Lake are the densest, such as Lingyin Temple, Leifeng Pagoda, Taiziwan, Huagang Guanyu, Yuemiao, Santan Yin Yue, Su Causeway, Yang Gongdi and Beishan Street. Song Cheng and Xixi Wetland National Park, which are far away, take taxis within half an hour (no traffic jams). Is it most convenient to live in Xihu District?

If your travel budget is not very high, then a homestay near the West Lake is a good choice. The homestays in Hangzhou developed earlier and the market was more mature. The quality and service are quite good, and the price ranges from several hundred to several thousand. Here I recommend a cost-effective one near the West Lake.

Hangzhou Sunshine B&B This is a very literary B&B. It is located in Lanjiawan, Xihu District, adjacent to Wu Qingzhi, about 15 minutes' walk from the West Lake, not far from all major scenic spots, and the transportation is very convenient. There are many delicious foods around, and Wu Qingzhi Food Street is just a few minutes' walk, which is suitable for young people who like to go shopping.
