One-day tour in Hangzhou, enjoy the beauty of West Lake

### **Hangzhou West Lake Travel Strategy: Save money and play around "Human Paradise"** 🌿🏯 **[Must-Spot Attractions]** 1. **Broken Bridge Remnants of Snow** - Xu Xian White Lady's place of love, winter snow scenery is beautiful, but more people than snow, it is recommended to get up early to grab the C position, otherwise you can only take a "human bridge photo" 2. **Leifeng Tower** - $40 tickets include elevator, climb to the top overlooking the panoramic view of West Lake, golden light shining at dusk, but do not learn the French sea randomly throwing coins. 3. **Sudi spring dawn** - the most beautiful hiking route in West Lake, spring cherry blossoms + weeping willows, autumn yellow leaves + residual lotus, the complete journey ≈ WeChat steps dominate the list. 4. **Three Pools Imprint Moon** - 1 dollar RMB background picture, take the boat to the island remember to bring a banknote comparison photo (do not throw into the water, cleaning lady will stare you). 5. ** Quyuan style lotus ** - summer lotus full of pond, suitable for ancient style photos, but do not learn Yang Wanli chew lotus, security will chase. --- **【Save Money Accommodation Recommendation】** 🏡💰 1. **Youth Hostel/Inn** (100-200 yuan/night): - **Hangzhou International Youth Hostel** (Nanshan Road) - 10 minutes walk to West Lake, great atmosphere for backpackers. - **Hefang Street B&B** - antique, night market night market super convenient, the disadvantage is sound insulation ≈ no. 2. **Economy Hotel** (200-300 RMB/night): - **Rujia/Hanting (Lakeside Store)**—Metro exit, 5 minutes walk to West Lake, suitable for "lazy travel". --- **【Nearby Food Recommendations】**🍜🍢 1. **Know the taste ** - century-old brand, small steamed buns + slices of Sichuan must order, but do not expect the waiter to you "know the taste". 2. **Grandma's House** - Cheap Hang Gang cuisine, Dongpo meat melts in the mouth, but the queue time ≈ climbed Leifeng Pagoda. 3. **Scallion wrapped cypress** - 5 yuan each, the legend "fried Qin cypress", after eating remember to wipe your mouth, do not let the historical hatred stick to your face. 4. ** Ding Sheng cake ** - Southern Song examination site "carp cake", sweet but not greasy, eat a piece before the exam, psychological effect full score. 5. **West Lake Vinegar Fish** - the signature dish of the building outside the building, sweet and sour with crab flavor, but be careful of more fish spines than the Su Ti people. --- **【Peripheral Fun】** 🎭🚶 1. **Xixi Wetland** - Take a rocking boat tour of "Hangzhou's Kidney", but do not learn "Not Sincere" to propose, the boatman may laugh. 2. **Hefang Street** - the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Street converted into a pedestrian street, buy silk, tea remember to bargain, otherwise the wallet will be even more "remnant" than the broken bridge. 3. **Jewel Mountain** - Free climb to see the panoramic view of West Lake, the sunrise is super beautiful, but do not wear slippers, the mountain road is even more "abuse" than Su Causeway. --- **[Humorous Tips]** - Do not raise the "V-shaped gesture" when taking selfies by the West Lake, otherwise the background will be all the "Tathagata Palm" of tourists. - Remember to ask for a price when you are on a hand-rocking boat. Don't be fooled by the "wild boatman" and become a "West Lake water fish". - Leifeng Tower by elevator queue is even longer than walking the stairs, good physical strength is recommended to walk the stairs, by the way to lose weight. **Summary**: West Lake = free beauty + cheap food + rampage workout = perfect trip! Hurry up and leave, don't wait until the bridge breaks for tourists to "step on it"~🚲💨
