If you live in Shanghai, West Lake is one of the weekend getaways that you have to become familiar with. Spend the day, ride a bike around the lake without any plan at all. ????

True beauty not known by international tourist in my opinion. It's amazing to see the diversity of places all over the shores of the lake : restaurants , hotels , jogging paths. Don't come in summer: 41°

Magnificent! West Lake has influenced poets and painters throughout the ages for its natural beauty and historical relics. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011

Really a wonderful place to get out of the hustle & bustle of the city and take a soothing walk with your significant other. ????‍❤️‍????

UNESCO world heritage site . Get Birdseye view at pagoda top. Take rowboat ride to islands . Eat pan-fried soup dumplings at nearby Yaobude Gaozu Shengjian ????

U can hire 2 kind of boat(2-4people) to hangout around West Lake ,Boat A 150rmb/1hours,Boat B 180rmb/hours.

A beautiful lake to walk around. Fountains and light shows at night, though it’s very pretty during the day too

I’ll never forget my night walks in the West Lake ♥️

Wow! It's a great one-day trip from Shanghai. Regular speed trains , metro in Hangdhou just walking distance from lake . Wait for sunset . Do the tour anti-clockwise (easy) from noon until sunset . Lovely

A truly romantic lake city . Stroll along Duan Qiao Bridge at night to see the colorful lights reflecting off the rippling water. Avoid Chinese public holidays - it WILL ruin your experience!

I could walk along this lake the whole day and still enjoy it. A bit crowded , but that's just part of what West Lake is.

West Lake is a freshwater lake in Hangzhou,capital of Zhejiang province in eastern China. There are numerous temples , pagodas , gardens , and artificial islands within the lake .

It's my favorite city in China for sure! Can't get enough from it

Take the high-speed train and enjoy the most famous city lake in China. Walk around. Nighttime is wonderful, great sunset photos. Avoid holidays.

West Lake is the top ten famous scenic sites in China and the only lake heritage. It is not only famous for its natural scenery, but also for its human landscape.

This is a world-famous cultural landscape, and a site of the world cultural heritage list. The West Lake is the landscape of the Chaptel, when you open the door or the window.

There is a lot of place you can borrow a bicycle from here,and some are for two people to ride together,if you are a couple ,you really should try this!

Don’t miss out the West Lake Museum which is located near Qianwangci Pier !

Hangzhou's main tourist attraction . Beautiful during the day and at sunset . Gets incredibly packed with tourists during holidays.

So crowded over the summer, but beautiful! Good thing there's popsicle stands! Great for people watching .

Take a stroll and enjoy the pleasant environment.

Very nice and peacefull place , I live in this city during 4 years and sometimes I miss this place, but I recommend it

Beautiful place! Better come on weekdays

visited on an evening, the fountain show was good but very crowded . One of the true historical place in China.

Very very pretty best to come on weekdays and during mid autumn

Good times in Hangzhou but not many english speakers. A lady told me something I didnt understand while buying my tea . Probably said im the ugliest person alive but at least she did it with a smile.

Different landscape it presented everytime I came.

Alot of eateries around as well .

Nice place. The most beautiful in Hangzou
