In the past, when I traveled, I always found a place to stay when I arrived at the local area. It was usually already evening, and it was really uncomfortable to drag my luggage and rush around the streets looking for accommodation. It's often overcrowded during holidays, so you can just find a small hotel to make do. Having learned from previous lessons, this time I booked a B&B in advance. It was a B&B booked on Zhuduoduo.com.

Many attractions in Hangzhou are surrounding the West Lake. For convenience, it is best to live near the West Lake. The B&B I booked is located on Xihu Avenue in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou. You can walk to the West Lake and the transportation is very convenient.

The room is very clean and bright, with a large space. It is a two-story duplex structure, which is very unique and can accommodate 4 people. On average, the room rate per person is less than 100 yuan, which I think is still a good deal.

The bedroom is on the second floor, separated from the quiet. Even when traveling, you must ensure a good sleep. If you want to book this B&B, just search Yi on Zhuduoduo. Itinerary

A must-see in Hangzhou is the West Lake. Yu Qiuyu once said in a book that even if the West Lake This is my first time visiting, and it also feels like reliving old dreams. After immersing myself in Chinese culture for a long time, I will always have this lake in my heart. "There are thirty-six West Lakes in the world, and Hangzhou is the best among them." West Lake has been the soul of Hangzhou since ancient times.

The most famous of the ten legendary sights of West Lake are the spring dawn on the Su Causeway in the Southern Song Dynasty, the remaining snow on the broken bridge, the wind lotuses in Quyuan, the fish watching in Huagang, the singing of orioles in the willow waves, the sunset on Leifeng, the moon reflected in the three pools, the autumn moon on the flat lake, and the twin peaks.

From a height, the bridge looks broken but not broken, forming a The famous "Broken Bridge and Remaining Snow", but this season there is no way to see the beautiful scenery of the Broken Bridge and Remaining Snow.

There are neatly planted willows and peach trees on both sides of the road. When you look up, you can see the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, which is very suitable for a leisurely stroll. Baidi is about 1 kilometer in total, so you can explore it on foot.
