Nestled in the middle of surrounding hills, the serene West Lake is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. This popular Hangzhou attraction is known for its beauty and often likened to one of four ancient Chinese beauties, Xi Zi. Board your Leisure Boat from Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor Park Wharf and you’re off to begin your relaxing ride around the lake. No matter what time of the year, you are guaranteed to get the best breathtaking views - lush green flowers in spring, lotus flowers in bloom in the summer, a tranquil lake in the autumn, and the smell of plum blossoms in winter. West Lake is not to be missed for travelers looking for a quiet scenic tour within the busy city.
