The most beautiful area in Hangzhou is near the West lake, the air is fresh(er). You have all the nice restaurants here and it has an international atmosphere suited for tourists. The oriental Lei Fung Ta (pagoda) is worth to visit. There are concerts held near the West lake in the summers, which are about Chinese old legends.

The place that inspired generations of poets and painters in ancient China is still the main attraction in Hangzhou. Don't miss to take the approx. 2h boat ride tu explore all the hidden pavillions and small little islands. Also interesting ... to explore the real places behind the magic tales like the one of the snake-lady.

absolutely breathtaking area. you can easily spend an entire day walking the circumference of the lake and taking in the sights and sounds. do take the ferry to the islands, its worth the trip.

West Lake is one of the main attractions of the city. You can walk around the lake during the day or at night and take boats across it as well. Beautiful lily pads abound.
