Although there are many other West Lake "must see" sights. I believe a trip on the water is most essential, because, it is by taking to the water that gets you closest to the core beauty of the West Lake.
In the early 20th centuryŁ®someone praised Hangzhou's color, saying that the city's beauty lay in the jade green color of the West Lake. Hangzhou has on three sides hills each with its own grace. As you stroll among them, you forget their physical bein9. The appreciation of the hills begins with your very first step, the very moment you leave your hotel room. Height is not what matters, but the spirit.
The beauty and profundity of Hangzhou cannot be described in just a few words, but they can be seen and felt. A trip on the lake will introduce the city and vice versa. Lake and city are a single entity. Take a trip on the water and you fall in love with the city.
As for museums, the Hu Mansion and the studios of several master painters will lead you into the heart of this city, let you feel the heartbeat of the city and feel the pulse of the spirit of the place.
