As a railway travel enthusiast, I arrived in Hangzhou by high-speed rail, and my first stop was undoubtedly the world-famous West Lake.
Each of the "Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake" has its own charm: "Broken Bridge with Remaining Snow," "Autumn Moon over Calm Lake," and "Sunset Glow over Leifeng Pagoda" — all leave an indelible impression. Strolling along Su Causeway, surrounded by lakes and mountains, you can almost feel the lingering literary vibe of Su Dongpo, the Song Dynasty poet who once shaped this landscape.
The ancient Lingyin Temple and the grotto statues of Feilai Peak reveal Hangzhou’s profound Buddhist heritage, quiet and serene. No visit is complete without savoring West Lake Longjing tea — a cup of authentic Longjing in Meijiawu lets you immerse yourself in the poetic mood: "The breeze and bright moon are priceless; nearby waters and distant mountains are full of affection."
Hangzhou is truly a city that stirs the soul.

Sign InThe Longjing tea in Meijiawu is really fragrant. Every time I go to Hangzhou, I will buy some to bring home.
Each of the ten scenic spots in West Lake has its own characteristics. I like Leifeng Sunset the most. The scenery in the evening is so beautiful.
