West Lake
Aside from West Lake, what can I do in Hangzhou?
Gardens are out of the question since I'm not into them.
Pagodas and temples and bell towers and drum towers, I'm kinda tired of looking at them since I've been to a lot of them when I was in Beijing, Luoyang and Xi'an.
So I was thinking, if my only target is West Lake, will one day be enough?
Hi, why not cycling around the West Lake? Fyi, below is one route around the Lake: rent a bike at the Pubic Bicycle Service, start your cycling from The No.1 Lakeside Park at the beginning of Nanshan road(South of West Lake--->West Lake Xintiandi, Yong Jing Park, West Lake Museum, King Qian's Temple--->Orioles Singing in the Willows--->Xue Shi Park--->Long Bridge Park,Leifeng Pagoda, Jing Ci Temple, Evening Bell Ringing at Nanping Hill, Taizi Bay Park---->Flower Pond--->Su Causeway, Mausoleum of General Yue Fei--->Beihan Road, Xiling Seal Society, Zhejiang Provincial Museum--->Solitary Hill, Bai Causeway, Broken Bridge--->the No. 6 Lakeside Park, Hu Bin Business Street--->End and back the bike. You will get a full day~~~^^
Just don't forget to carry with your passport for rental enregistering. Good experience in Hangzhou^^
One day should be enough whether you walk or cycle. We did a full cycle-round of West Lake and unfortunately for some parts you'll need to be on the roads (which aren't right next to the lake) or on narrow pedestrian sidewalks. Hope your cycling skills are good!
Other than that, I would recommend the Impressions West Lake performance, and Hefang Jie pedestrian street.
In the evening the whole section of canal in Hangzhou is bright like a long dragon with bright pearls. Yachts come and go on the river; people on the yachts can see bright buildings and restaurants stand on the side; after supper lively residents often together, singing and dancing. All of this make us to connect with the prosperity of South Song Dynasty of 900 years ago.
Symbols and many monuments of chinese believe you can find in their temples.
Many of them constructed and decorated by famous artists - many years ago !
Gold is often used - like in Thailand - the country of smile.- Like China is for me the country of wisdom !
