No matter in urban construction or environment, Hangzhou ranks first in the cities I have been to.

The whole city makes me feel very comfortable, full of cultural atmosphere, and I do a very good job in greening. When I cross the road, when I see the pedestrians, the motor vehicles will signal the pedestrians to pass first, which is very suitable for living. There are many beautiful and handsome men in fashionable clothes!

The most suitable weather to come to Hangzhou is spring and autumn, because Hangzhou is a typical city in the south of the Yangtze River. In spring, everything grows with birds singing and flowers fragrant. In summer, it's hot but the lotus in the West Lake blooms beautifully. In autumn, it's cool but rainy, and in winter, it's wet and cold. When you choose to travel, you should check the weather in advance and prepare the corresponding clothes.

At least, these are the essential APP you should have in your phone when travel here; WeChat, Alipay, American regiment, Hangzhou city bus, etc. If you are a student, the student ID card could be useful for some series of discount. And another perks: Hangzhou's public transport can basically brush Alipay.

It is highly recommended for you to have your stay near the West Lake or Hangzhou East Railway Station because the transportation is more convenient and closer to the scenic spot. At the same time, the surrounding area will be prosperous. If you want to feel the wonderful realm of "Heaven on the top, Suzhou and Hangzhou on the bottom" (上面有天堂，下面有苏杭. read: shàngmiàn yǒu tiāntáng, xiàmiàn yǒu sūháng), you would love to have a stay in the house beside the Lingyin Temple with distinctive features to feel different from the tranquility of the city, but a little disadvantage is that it's far from the city.

Now I want to introduce you to the scenic spots around Hangzhou.

1. Hangzhou West Lake.

West Lake, needless to say, has been the soul of Hangzhou since ancient times.

The G20 summit "Hangzhou is the most remembered" Gala was held in the West Lake.

To get there, you can take Metro Line 1 to Longxiangqiao station, then walk about 400 meters to the West Lake.

West Lake is divided into three lines from west to East: Yanggongdi line, SUDI line and Nanshan line.

If you walk along the Yanggong embankment line, you can't see the West Lake, but the scenery is also good, which is suitable for riding. You can start from the north mountain road and focus on the south mountain road.

If you go along the Suzhou Causeway line, you can start from the broken bridge to the other side of the Suzhou Causeway, take a walk slowly to see the scenery, or go to the boat where the boatman paddles. The boatman will take you slowly to see the scenery of the West Lake and then explain it. You can see the three pools printed with the moon on the boat, that is, the pattern on the one yuan paper money. The price is quite cost-effective. If you don't go by boat, you can go all the way from the Suzhou causeway to the isolated island and see the isolated island The West cold press and the outside building.

The south end of the West Lake is the Nanshan Road connected with yanggongdi. It runs from east to west and passes through Leifeng Pagoda. On the pagoda, you can have a bird's-eye view of the West Lake. Beside the pagoda, there is Jingci temple. You can also climb Baoshi mountain. When you climb to the top of the hill, you can see half of the lake and half of the city. It's very beautiful.

By the way, there are ten sceneries in the West Lake: yunqizhu path, manlongguiyu, hupaomengquan, Longjing wencha, Jiuxi Yanshu, Wushan Feitian, Ruan dunhuanbi, Huanglong tucui, Yuhuang Feiyun, gem Liuxia;

Yuewang temple is located in the northwest corner of the West Lake and the north side of the west section of Beishan Road. It's a place to commemorate the national hero Yuefei. Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be a scenic spot, because it's more to express a kind of nostalgia and admiration.
