West Lake is located in the west of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is a romantic tourist destination. The White Snake and Xu Xian, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai all performed poignant love stories here.
As a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, West Lake is the only lake-type cultural heritage in China. It covers a very large area and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It gives people a fairyland-like feeling and is deeply loved by tourists.
Tickets for the scenic spots in the West Lake are purchased based on the attractions. The price of each attraction is between 10 yuan and 50 yuan. The periphery of the West Lake is a public and open area, which can be used for tourists' leisure and entertainment for free.
On the West Lake Broken Bridge, you can enjoy the distant view of the lake.
The most beautiful season for the Broken Bridge is in winter. When it starts to snow lightly, the Broken Bridge is still covered with snow. It was here that Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian met, and it has a different kind of poetic feeling.
Walking along the Baidi, you will see the Qiuyue Pinghu Lake. Here you can choose to take a cruise to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake.
There are also Zhejiang museums and art galleries open to tourists free of charge, which are very suitable for tourists who like to appreciate museums.
Taking a cruise, you can also enjoy the view of the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, which is the largest island in the West Lake.
It is recommended for tourists who like it to enjoy it at night. The lanterns will be lit up at night, reflecting the sparkling lake surface, which is very beautiful.
When you come to West Lake, the Leifeng Pagoda is not to be missed.
The Leifeng Pagoda looks magnificent under the setting sun. If you are interested, you can also enter the tower to see the place where the White Snake was suppressed.
Leifeng Pagoda collapsed in 1921 due to the large number of tourists digging out the masonry under the tower, and was later rebuilt.
Today's Leifeng Pagoda is also very modern. It has an elevator that can go directly to the fourth floor, making it convenient for many elderly tourists to climb up Leifeng Pagoda.
You can arrange food and accommodation in a hotel next to the West Lake. The accommodation conditions are very good and the choices are wide. The per capita price ranges from 50 yuan to 150 yuan.
Located on the bank of West Lake, it is very convenient to walk to major attractions.
As for catering, there are many restaurants of various kinds next to the West Lake, as well as some local specialties and exquisite snacks, with prices generally ranging from 10 yuan to 200 yuan.
I believe that such a trip to West Lake will definitely make you fall in love with this place.
