First of all, I don’t know if when you talk about visiting the West Lake, you only mean the West Lake or the West Lake Scenic Area.

As for the West Lake Scenic Area, the four roads in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the West Lake have different styles. You will know it when you get there.

In addition to walking around the West Lake and visiting the three islands on the West Lake, I suggest you go up to Yuhuang Mountain and take a look at the scenery of the rivers and lakes.

In addition, I think Lingyin Temple is worth visiting whether you believe in Buddhism or not.

The scenic spots in the West Lake Scenic Area are all within the urban area of ??Hangzhou.

If you want to go further, you can go to Xiaoshan to watch the Qianjiang Tide, but you have to choose the time well.

Tonglu, Lin'an, Chun'an, etc. below Hangzhou also have good scenic spots. In addition to Tianmu Mountain, you can return to other places on the same day.

Then, I feel that there is no need to spend time in amusement parks when visiting Hangzhou. After all, there are many places to play, but there is only one in West Lake.

If you must go, Hangzhou Paradise will definitely be your first choice, and of course there is the Wildlife Park in Fuyang.

When shopping in Hangzhou, the area from Wulin Square to Wushan Square is definitely the most popular.

Yan'an Road is a commercial street. From Hangzhou Tower near Wulin Square to Yintai, Hangzhou, and Jiebai, their respective positions are also different. Hangzhou Tower is positioned as high-end.

If you have the chance, you can visit the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street and Hefang Street.

In the evening, the first choice must be the night view of the West Lake. Strolling from the lakeside to Wushan Square is very good.

The more famous restaurants in Hangzhou include Grandma’s House, Zhiweiguan, Louwailou, etc.

Grandma's house is very cost-effective, but there are many people, so you usually have to book in advance.

Zhiweiguan has a main store on Renhe Road by the West Lake, but there are quite a lot of people. Some other branches are relatively empty. The specific location can be found by searching on Baidu Map or e-city.

The subway in Hangzhou has not yet been built.

It is relatively easy to get to West Lake from Wulin Square. It only takes 15 to 20 minutes to walk, and it is also relatively easy to get there.

However, the traffic in Hangzhou is very congested, especially in the area from the city center to the scenic spots, so it is best to plan ahead. If the road is not far, just take one step. Anyway, walking from the Imperial Street of the Southern Song Dynasty to the West Lake feels like a long walk.

Not bad.
