  West Lake (Xi Hu)

  Hangzhou's West Lake Scenic Area, in the southwest of the city, covers 60 square kilometers, of which West Lake itself occupies 5.6 square kilometers. West Lake is a place of tranquility where urbanity becomes a silhouette on the northeast horizon and mountains near and far surround it on the other three sides. The occasional pagoda and Chinese-style arched bridge add atmosphere to the tree-lined walkways, verdant islands, and hills. The main attractions in the lake are Spring Dawn at Su Causeway, Autumn Moon on Calm Lake, Viewing Fish in the Flowering Harbor, and Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. To have the most fun, we will arrange you a paddle boat ride across the lake to enjoy the tranquility.
