What are the scenic spots in Xianghu Lake?

Xianghu Lake is located in Xiaoshan District. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the West Lake, Xianghu Lake is like a small jasper, suitable for tourists who like quiet. At present, it is divided into Huqiao Scenic Area, Sun Xia Cultural Area and Hangzhou Polar Ocean Park (Xiaoshan Children's Park). It is a pleasant thing to take a walk by the lake or enjoy the scenery around the lake by boat.

General situation of Huxiang Lake

Although it is separated from the West Lake by a Qiantang River, Xianghu Lake has a direct subway. The lake is roughly gourd-shaped, and the main attractions are concentrated in the north of the lake. Tourists usually get off at Hu Xiang subway station and then start sightseeing in the north near Xiang Lifang.

The whole Hu Xiang Scenic Area is very large. If time is tight, and you want to enjoy the whole scenery of Hu Xiang, it is recommended to take a boat trip. Individual travelers usually take part in the tour around the lake, enjoy the tour around the lake, and then return to the departure pier. In addition, you can also take a battery car instead of walking. If you have a bike, you can also ride a bike by the lake. It's not bad to visit ancient villages or simply visit the lake.

Sun Xia Cultural District, not far from Xiang Lifang, is an ancient village with white walls and black tiles. It used to be the settlement of descendants of Sun Quan, and now it is also a cultural landscape worth seeing in Xianghu. You can enjoy Huizhou architecture along the road. Sun's ancestral hall and stage are antique in appearance, and the roof decoration is also beautiful. In addition, the Hu Xiang Cultural Exhibition Hall and the Hu Xiang Art Museum in the Cultural District have many exhibitions of famous paintings, local products and traditional handicrafts, which are also worth visiting.

Go south counterclockwise along the lake, pass the ruins of Yuewangcheng and Hehuazhuang, and come to the bridge across the lake, about 2 kilometers. This long bridge across the lake is the landmark of Xianghu Lake. Standing in the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the bridge across the lake, lining the lake and the mountains behind it, and its beauty is no less than the broken bridge of the West Lake. A canoe 8000 years ago and a long-standing "bridge across the lake" culture were found nearby. In the Cross-Lake Bridge Site Museum on Qiaonan Island, you can see many Neolithic cultural relics such as painted pottery and bone vessels unearthed in that year, as well as the restored archaeological site of the site, which is suitable for taking children to learn. Hangzhou Polar Ocean Park and the bird forest at the eastern end of the bridge across the lake are also deeply loved by children. You can visit lovely animals from distant oceans in polar, rainforest and deep sea theme scenes.

From the bridge across the lake to the south, you can take your children to the golden beach by the lake in summer to dig sand and play with water. At around 19:45, a "water show" will be staged in Hushan Square, and many tourists specially drive here to enjoy the musical fountain performance.
