Stop rolling around West Lake; I prefer this ancient and artistic walking route

Autumn is definitely the most romantic season in Hangzhou. If you also like CityWalk, then you must save this niche, ancient, and artistic route! ✔️Route Share: Fu Yi Warehouse — Xiangji Temple — Xiaohe Straight Street — Qiaoxi Historical and Cultural Street 1️⃣Fu Yi Warehouse The only remaining granary in Hangzhou, built during the Guangxu period of the Qing dynasty, was once a strategic grain reserve of the Qing dynasty. It's almost empty, very quiet, with boats🚢 passing by constantly. Walking slowly along the canal, with rows of willows, is very pleasant. 2️⃣Xiangji Temple The only temple in our country that worships the Bodhisattva of Fasting. The total area is almost 16,000 square meters. From the Hall of Heavenly Kings all the way to the Sutra Depository, it's very suitable for a slow walk, to quietly appreciate this thousand-year-old ancient temple. The Tang dynasty architecture is always divine~ Tickets are 20 yuan, available directly at the entrance, no need to book in advance. 3️⃣Xiaohe Straight Street It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's the most artistic block in Hangzhou, located at the confluence of the Grand Canal, Xiaohe, and Yuhangtang River, which retains the traditional historical cultural characteristics and architectural style, and also adds a modern artistic atmosphere. There are many unique shops that are great for browsing, and even the storefront arrangements are particularly interesting. You can take pictures and check in at will, very suitable for spending an afternoon. 4️⃣Qiaoxi Historical and Cultural Street About 1.3 kilometers away from Xiaohe Straight Street, named after the 'Gongchen Bridge', the ancient charm is a bit stronger, very much like the ancient market streets. In addition to sitting in coffee shops and small taverns, there are also the China Umbrella Museum and the China Knives, Scissors, and Swords Museum, but it's recommended to go early, as the museums close at 4:30 pm~ This place is less popular than the previous spots, so there are fewer people, making it more comfortable to stroll around.
