Zhejiang Xizi Hotel. Wangzhuang is located at the foot of the "Thunder Peak Sunset" mountain, one of the "Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake" in Hangzhou. To the east is the lake, to the south is the famous ancient temple Jingci, and across the lake are famous scenic spots such as "Su Di", "San Tan Yin Yue", and "Liu Lang Wen Ying". You can also overlook the north-south peaks, Baochu Pagoda, and other scenic spots, providing a panoramic view of the lake and mountains. The hotel has convenient transportation and can be reached by multiple public buses (K4, K504). Located under the Lei Feng Pagoda, the Wang Family's Old Garden is a treasure trove of feng shui with a profound history and culture. From the imperial gardens of the Southern Song Dynasty - Pingshan Garden and Cuifang Garden, the famous Qianlong Imperial Garden - Yi Garden, to the Xinhai Revolution Memorial Site - Baiyun An, it embodies a long history and is a representation of profound culture. When Wang Zixin built Wang Zhuang, there were still three historical scenic spots left in the village: the imperial fishing platform used by Emperor Qianlong during his southern tour of West Lake, which used to hold a pole and fish in the pond; Baiyun Nunnery, once the secret stronghold for revolutionaries of the Restoration Society and the Chinese Revolutionary League to overthrow the Qing Dynasty's grand plan, and the Temple for the Elderly under the Moon, which once presided over numerous marriage events for young men and women in Hangzhou, added several rare royal styles, revolutionary flavor, heroic spirit and mysterious flavor to Wang Zhuang.Zhejiang Xizi Hotel.

"I saw a great deal for a package on Double 11 and quickly booked it to spend New Year's Day at Wang Zhuang. The renovated Building 6 has excellent hardware – the heating is ample, facilities are comprehensive, and it's spotlessly clean. It's also not far from the Peony Hall, Yaoyuan, and the front desk, offering a great environment and convenience.
New Year's Day was peak check-in time, and we didn't get our room until 3 PM. The lobby was packed, but the staff handling luggage storage and check-in were incredibly friendly. I asked about the progress several times, and each time they patiently helped me check, and the room we eventually got was very satisfying. The lady at the lobby's rest area kept refilling our tea and bringing snacks. The bellhops and shuttle drivers were very enthusiastic, opening car doors and helping with luggage. We are all very grateful for their service.
During our stay, we wanted to visit Orioles Singing in the Willows but were deterred by the crowds, so we just walked around the hotel instead. The hotel's lakeside offers expansive views, directly facing Three Ponds Mirroring the Moon and Mid-Lake Pavilion. To the left is Su Causeway, and to the right, you can see Chenghuang Pavilion. It's quiet with few people. Compared to squeezing through crowds to see the sights outside, here you essentially have a private stretch of West Lake. Taking a stroll after dinner or an early morning walk are both excellent choices, with fresh air and birdsong and fragrant flowers.
The package also included a buffet, which I didn't have high hopes for, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious! There were hairy crabs, shrimp, and seafood, all very fresh. Breakfast was also great; I particularly loved the fluffy fried dough sticks, which were super tasty, along with smoked salmon and freshly squeezed juice – quite a high-end offering. The only minor drawback was the noodle station, which was mediocre, and besides the tiramisu, I didn't find any desserts I particularly liked. The puff pastry was soggy, like it had been exposed to moisture, so I didn't eat much of it later. Peony Hall is my favorite; I personally think it's better than Ziwei Hall 😋. None of the dishes I ordered disappointed; the chicken soup and other dishes were all authentic, and I loved the Osmanthus Nine-Bend Red Plum tea, which I've been buying every year since my last stay.
Many leaves have fallen in winter, but I'll definitely come back in autumn to see West Lake in its most beautiful season 🥰"
