How far is it from Wuzhen to Hangzhou West Lake?

It's about 80 kilometers from Hangzhou to Wuzhen.

If you want to go to Hangzhou from Wuzhen, I suggest you take a bus, because if you are 3 kilometers per hour, it will take at least 13 hours to walk.

It takes four hours to ride 20 kilometers per hour, which wastes time. It only takes about an hour to drive, so the journey time is shortened, because there may be some unexpected situations, such as traffic jams.

Therefore, if you really want to visit, you must seize the time. Hangzhou has beautiful scenery. Now this season is just right, not very hot, and it is close to Wuzhen. You can go and come back on the same day. If you want to stay for a few more days, it is recommended to book air tickets and hotels in advance, otherwise there may be many people on holiday.

Ecological West Lake

plant

The plant resources around the West Lake are rich and diverse. Throughout the year, all kinds of flowers bloom alternately, which not only enriches the plant landscape of the West Lake, but also greatly improves the environmental quality of Hangzhou.

Peach Blossoms-Willow and peach trees are all over West Lake, Su Causeway and Bai Causeway, forming a representative landscape of "one willow and one peach". Other ornamental plants include Magnolia, cherry blossom, hibiscus and sweet clover. The flowering period of peach blossoms in Hangzhou is generally from the middle and late February to the middle and early April.

Lotus-The traditional food in Hangzhou is lotus cake. Fossils of lotus seeds were unearthed at the site of the bridge across the lake in Xiaoshan. At least before the Tang Dynasty, lotus was planted artificially. Yang Wanli of the Song Dynasty even had a famous saying, "Lotus leaves are infinitely colorful, and lotus flowers have different colors." There are 14 lotus areas and 130 mu on the West Lake, most of which are located between Beili Lake and Yuehu Lake. According to the statistics all the year round, the West Lake Lotus began to blossom in early June, and entered its full bloom period at the end of June, and lasted until the end of August and the beginning of September.

Osmanthus fragrans-As the flower of Hangzhou, Osmanthus fragrans is one of the representative plants in Hangzhou. The poet Bai Juyi's "Looking for Guizi in Yuexiashan Temple" shows that osmanthus fragrans appeared in Hangzhou as early as the Tang Dynasty. Osmanthus fragrans is planted in a large number of parks along the West Lake, especially the Ten Scenes of the New West Lake "Man Gui Long Yu" and Hangzhou Botanical Garden. Osmanthus fragrans can be divided into four types: Jingui, Yin Gui, Dangui and Sijigui, with Jingui and Yin Gui being the best. Around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, the fragrance of osmanthus has become a highlight of Hangzhou tourism. Osmanthus fragrans not only can be seen, but also can be eaten. Jingui and Yin Gui are rich in fragrance and are natural raw materials for processing condiments. Pickled sweet-scented osmanthus mixed with sugar has become one of the traditional foods in Hangzhou. The flowering period of Osmanthus fragrans in West Lake generally begins in early September and ends in early October, 165438+.

Plum Blossom —— Lin Bu, the wife of plum blossom who lived in seclusion in a lonely mountain in the Song Dynasty, left behind the eternal swan song of "The shadow is thin and the water is shallow, and the fragrance floats at dusk", which also added a deep humanistic accumulation to the plum blossom in the West Lake. Lingfeng, Gushan and Xixi are the three major scenic spots to enjoy plum blossoms in ancient Hangzhou. The flowering period of plum blossoms is from the end of June to the middle of February during the Spring Festival.

In addition to the above four traditional famous flowers, the West Lake has also introduced and planted a large number of exotic varieties. From 1992, Taiziwan Park in Hangzhou has introduced a large number of Dutch tulips and Japanese cherry blossoms, which has become a new landscape. The above two kinds of flowers are open from March to the end of April. Tulips are mainly distributed in Taiziwan Park in the south of West Lake, while cherry blossoms are distributed in Su Causeway, Liuyang Wenying and other places. In addition, the Peony Pavilion (Peony Flower) for fish viewing in Huagang, the Sino-Japanese No War Monument (Cherry Blossom) in Liulang Wenying, and Hangjiayuan (Orchid) are also famous flower viewing places.

With the Hangzhou municipal government paying more and more attention to the environmental protection of the West Lake, the ecological environment around the West Lake has gradually improved. Wild ducks, kingfishers and koi fish can often be seen in the West Lake. All kinds of rare ornamental fish can be seen in Guan Yu and Yuquan in Huagang, and dozens of birds are fed in the giant cage of Liulang Wenying, which adds vitality to the West Lake. In addition, among the coastal trees, squirrels have also become one of the objects of tourists' attention. From June 5438 to October 2005 10, with the completion of the comprehensive improvement project of the West Lake, the waterfowl community was artificially introduced to the West Lake for the first time, and 80 white swans were released on the lake in Beili.

Artificial governance

During the period of 1949, the West Lake was silted up, the average depth of the lake was only 0.55 meters, and the water storage capacity was only over 4 million cubic meters. The bottom of the lake is covered with aquatic plants, so large cruise ships can only travel along the channel. 1950, the state included the management of the West Lake in the national investment plan. The dredging project was completed on 1959, the average depth of the lake reached 1.808 m, and the deepest point was 2.6m. The water storage capacity of the West Lake increased to1027.190,000 cubic meters.

Dredged silt fills 18 fields and depressions around the West Lake, such as Zhaoqing Temple and Qingbo Park. Since then, due to the erosion of silt and the accumulation of sediments in the lake bed, the depth of the lake has dropped to 1.47 meters. 1976, the state allocated 2 million yuan to start dredging the West Lake for the second time. After 1980, the lake depth rose to 1.5m ... Except for dredging,

The sewage interception project around the lake started on 1978 and was completed on 198 1. Divided into three lines: south, west and north. More than 65,438 kilometers of sewage pipelines were buried, and sewage pumping stations 10 were built. The West Lake Water Diversion Project started in February 1985 1. In the water diversion project, a new water intake pump was built from the sluice section of Qiantang River, with a daily water intake capacity of 300,000 cubic meters, equivalent to one third of the total storage capacity of the West Lake. After the water transfer, the transparency of the West Lake will increase by 5 to 7 cm. In 2003, a new round of dredging of the West Lake, which lasted for four years, was completed, dredging 3.469 million cubic meters, and the average water depth deepened from 1.65 meters before dredging to 2.27 meters. The visibility of water body has been obviously improved, and the capacity of water body has increased from 9.34 million cubic meters to 1.429 million cubic meters.
