What are the fun places in Hangzhou? Super guide for traveling in and around Hangzhou.

Strategy 1: Generally speaking, the closer to the attractions, the better, but hotels are also more expensive. It is more likely to find cheap hotels if you leave West Lake or three streets away from Jiefang Road. International Youth Hostels are relatively cheap. Other good and cheap hotels are Home Inn, Hanting, and Motel. But when booking a hotel, you should explain to them that you will arrive at the airport in the middle of the night and may not arrive at the hotel until 1 o'clock in the morning. Ask them to reserve the room for you to avoid being canceled after 11 o'clock.

Strategy 2: If you are afraid of difficulty in taking a bus from the airport to the city at night (the fare is too high, safety issues, etc.), it is better to stay in a hotel near the airport. Just go into town when there's no traffic.

Strategy 3: I estimate that I will wake up late on the first day, so I will visit the eight scenic spots outside the West Lake first. I waited until I could get up early the next day to visit the eight scenic spots in the West Lake.
