? There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, which is the picturesque and beautiful Hangzhou. As one of the eight ancient capitals in China, Hangzhou not only has beautiful and magnificent natural landscapes, but also has many cultural monuments and many stories and legends passed down, which add a touch of history and humanity to Hangzhou. Attractions worth visiting in Hangzhou include:
West Lake. Every city has its own business card for me, and West Lake is definitely the most representative attraction in Hangzhou. Regardless of its popularity or scenic beauty, West Lake is worth a visit. West Lake can be visited all year round, and each season offers a different experience.
? In spring, especially around April, you can go to see the spring dawn on Su Di, one of the Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake. The pink of peach blossoms and the tender green of willow trees are intertwined to create a soft spring color; summer is the season when lotus flowers are in full bloom. Go to Quyuan Fenghe to enjoy the lotus; in late autumn, you can experience the colorful sycamores in the sky; and in winter, you can naturally go to Broken Bridge for a walk.
? Ask about tea in Longjing. For tea culture lovers, Longjing Tea, one of the ten scenic spots in the new West Lake, is a good place to go. Here you can admire tea trees, watch tea frying performances and taste tea. The area here is very wide. There is also Longjing Village surrounded by mountains. Many families live in the village, and many of them have been turned into farmhouse restaurants.
? Hangzhou Songcheng Scenic Area. Songcheng Scenic Area is a large-scale Song Dynasty cultural theme park integrating culture, entertainment, performing arts and technology. The streets are full of teahouses, grocery stores, and some old workshops full of Song Dynasty style. The most attractive thing for tourists is probably the many performances here, including the large-scale song and dance show "Eternal Love in Songcheng", the live performance "Lijiang Love Song" and cross talk performances. As for technology, I think the one not to be missed is the LED animatronic version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", which is quite shocking.
Qiantang River. The Qiantang River tide is a wonder in the world, but it has a certain period of time. Generally speaking, the 18th day of the eighth lunar month every year is the time when the Qiantang River surges the most. When there is usually no high tide, you can go and see the Qiantang River Bridge and Liuhe Pagoda. The scenery is also very good.
Leifeng Pagoda. Because of the legends of Xu Xian, White Snake and Fa Hai, many people are interested in Leifeng Pagoda, which adds a touch of mystery to the tower. Although the old Leifeng Pagoda was rebuilt after its collapse in 1924, it seems that tourists are still enthusiastic. There is an elevator on the tower, and the scenery is pretty good. However, there are many people during the peak season, so it is recommended to travel during off-peak hours.
There is also Lingyin Temple. Lingyin Temple is the earliest famous temple in Hangzhou and the place where Jigong became a monk. Many tourists come to pray for blessings and wishes every day, especially on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. So if you are interested in temples, you may wish to visit Lingyin Temple.
? In short, since Hangzhou enjoys the reputation of paradise on earth, it means that it has been affirmed by most people. Friends who have never been there recommend going there to experience the beauty of Hangzhou.
