Back from Hangzhou, I don't recommend going in January or February.

Hangzhou, if you don't come now, you're missing out! 🌼🌼 Every year, over 20 million tourists flock to this city, which is like a paradise on earth, full of poetry and charm. 🚇 Transportation 🌺 Fly to Xiaoshan International Airport, then take the airport bus or subway to the city center. If you take the train, you can get off at Hangzhou Station or Hangzhou East Station, and transfer to the subway right away. The subway connects the city's attractions, making it very convenient to get around. You can also take the bus to enjoy the city at a slower pace, or take a taxi if you're in a hurry. 🏚 Accommodation 🌺 Near West Lake: The best choice, with picturesque lake views from your window, many attractions nearby, and convenient transportation. Near Lingyin Temple: Quiet and peaceful, wake up to the sound of temple bells and birdsong, far from the hustle and bustle. ✅ Attractions 1️⃣ West Lake: The "business card" of Hangzhou, with beautiful scenery in both sunny and rainy weather. Walk to enjoy the scenery, ride a bike to feel the wind, or take a boat to explore the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. 2️⃣ Lingyin Temple: An ancient temple hidden in the mountains, with yellow walls and black tiles, the sound of bells, solemn statues, and a rich culture. Enter to cleanse your soul. 3️⃣ Xixi Wetland: "A stream of water, a stream of smoke." Take a boat ride to see the swaying reeds and crisscrossing rivers. Songcheng: "Give me a day, and I'll give you a thousand years." The Song Dynasty streets are realistic, the vendors and acrobats are lively, and the "Romance of the Song Dynasty" show is a dazzling display of Hangzhou's thousand-year history. 4️⃣ Qiandao Lake: A thousand islands scattered across the lake, with clear water like a mirror. Take a boat tour around the islands to enjoy the lake's beauty. Other attractions: Jiuxi Yanshu with its babbling streams and misty smoke; Longjing Village with its tea fragrance; Yue Fei Temple with its solemn remembrance of heroes; Leifeng Pagoda by the lake with its legendary stories, each with its own charm. 🍱 Food West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, Dongpo pork, beggar's chicken, crispy and fragrant scallion pancakes, sweet and sticky Dingsheng cake, fresh and chewy Pian'er Chuan noodles, and more. ✅ Tips Make sure to wear a down jacket, thermal underwear, and long johns, as the wind at West Lake can be quite strong in winter.
