TIPS of becoming successful.
Right in front of West Lake is a whole bunch of flatty squarry, boxy-like buildings. When you walk closer you can see products made of animal skins, to my understanding they are called leatherware products of handbags, wallets, shoes and so on. These are imported products coming from somewhere far far away, Europe.
OK now listen you basterds! Quickly walk into one of these shops to buy at least a handbag, a wallet and a pair of shoes, and you gotta make sure you pay RMB20000.00 or more for each items, take my advice seriously and I only say once!
Once you obtained these products, make sure you put it on your body, wear it, carry it all the time, and also make sure you show to whosoever stares at you.

If you are looking for night life as shopping district, dinning, spa, and etc. Wulin District is the perfect location to do that. It is away from Xihu. You can take bus 28 from Xihu, or Taxi costs you around Y15.
If you prefer to stay away from Xihu, this area might be an alternative. Pretty of nice hotels.
When I was there, the metro was under construction. It might open for public soon.

Changqiao means long bridge in Chinese. The bridge makes it easy for you to walk along the lake with good views. In other words, instead of walking on the street, you can walk on the bridge to make you feel like you are in the middle of the lake. And the bridge is very low, less than one feet from the water.

Leifeng Pagoda is one of the most famous attractions in Xihu. This Pagoda can be easily seen from different parts of Xihu because it is a huge building built in a hill side. This is a reconstruction building from an ancient pagoda built in 975 AD by King Qian Chu of Wuyue to celebrate the birthday of his son.
I am more interested the views from this 5 stories tall Pagoda. You can see the beautiful scenery of Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, Sudi Causeway, the whole Xihu Lake.

Sudi Causeway is a connection between North and South of Xihu bypass the busy street of Yanggongdi Road. Walking along the causeway, you can see beautiful Xihu scenery like Ruan Gong Islet, Three Pools mirroring the moon, Leifeng Pagoda, and etc.
The whole causeway is a park, benches everywhere. You can seat down to enjoy the views and have a deep breath of the fresh air.
Warning: It is a 2.8km walk. Once you decided to walk, you have to walk until the end to reach the other direction. No other short cut.

West Lake is a famous area to see Lotus in China. Lotus starts to bloom in early June, and will last till late August or early September. Yue Lake has an example of the Lotus beauty in West Lake. The Chinese called this scene as " Curved Yard and Lotus Pool ". It was a rainy and cloudy day when I was visiting Yue Lake. The great part is that I could see the West Lake with this misty weather as painted in Chinese painting. The downside is I could not take good picture with the weather, and I worried my camera would get wet.

This is the most romantic and green place I have been to in China! A must do. Most people miss this part of China because their tour doesn't go there, what a bummer that would be! Get informed and ask if you do take a tour, a place that is magical.

I went to a spa called Maylise de Gardelle SPA last week. It's in No 202 NanShan Rd where have oriental planes in whole way and beside West Lake.
This spa is located in a old house build in 1935 but inside of the house is so fantastic Abright and very western. I have doing SPA everywhere in the world when I traveling, this spa is very different from I have done.
If you are in Hangzhou and love spa for facial or body massage, you bet to try it.
