Four: tourists who feel nature and farmhouse music.

1. Maojiabu Village: With the formation of the West Lake to renovate Yang Gongdi Scenic Area, its popularity is getting stronger and stronger. Although not as famous as meijiawu and Longjing Village, the surrounding environment is relatively good, with mountains and lakes. Location: West of Longjing Road, opposite to Baichahui and Maojiabu Lake District.

2. Longjing Village. Famous tea producing and tasting resorts at home and abroad.

3. meijiawu. World-famous tea producing and tasting resort, completely away from the city's Xanadu!

Attachment: My personal feelings about some of the above scenic spots:

1. Bai Causeway-Gushan Scenic Area. When people think of the West Lake, the first thing that comes to mind must be the love story of the broken bridge and the white snake Xu Xian, which has been circulating for thousands of years. Therefore, when many tourists come to the West Lake, they must first visit the Broken Bridge in Bai Causeway. Every Golden Week, there will always be a sea of people on the first line of Bai Causeway Broken Bridge! In fact, as far as natural scenery is concerned, Bai Causeway is far less than the scenic spots around the southern line of West Lake and Yang Gongdi, but Bai Causeway-Gushan Scenic Spot has always been popular because it is the best combination of nature and history and humanities, and it is also one of the best places to visit the West Lake for the first time.

Highlight: Standing on the Bai Causeway, you can see the old city of Hangzhou in the east, lakeside park in the opposite, the rolling West Lake mountains in the west and south, and the elegant Beishan Road and Baoshi Mountain in the north. Therefore, it can be said that Bai Causeway, the first time to visit the West Lake, is an excellent place. In spring, both sides of Bai Causeway are pink and green, and the brakes look good! As night falls, the landscape lights of Baoshiling come on, just like ink painting, Bai Causeway stands tall, which makes people intoxicated easily! Although Gushan is only a hill less than 100 meters high, it is an independent West Lake with beautiful scenery and stands at the top of the mountain. Although the scenery of the West Lake is not clear at a glance, it can be fully understood.

The biggest selling point of Bai Causeway Gushan Scenic Area is its profound cultural accumulation. Along the way from the broken bridge, Pinghu Qiuyue, Gushan and Xiqiao Bridge are everywhere, and the classical landscape culture of West Lake permeates everywhere!

2. South Line Scenic Area around the Lake. When visiting the West Lake, most people come to enjoy its beautiful scenery. In addition to the quiet and deep Yang Gongdi scenic spot on the west line of the West Lake, the scenic spot on the south line around the lake is the most fascinating natural scenery among the scenic spots along the lake. The south line scenic spot around the lake extends 3 kilometers from north to south, covering an area of more than 500,000 square meters. The main scenic spots along the route include Jinyong Park (West Lake Tiandi), Qianwang Memorial Hall, West Lake Museum, Liulang Wenying, Bachelor Park and Changqiao Park. Before the transformation in 2000, several parks were distributed independently in the scenic spots around Hunan Line. After the transformation, all the parks around the lake were opened, and the landscape along the line was transformed, completely changing the landscape of the southern line around the lake. Therefore, if you haven't been to West Lake and Hangzhou for several years, you must go to the scenic spot on the southern line around the lake.

Aspect: As a sister product of Shanghai New World, West Lake Tiandi can not only feel the leisure life of petty bourgeoisie, but also see the scenery of West Lake, so it is better to go at night. The West Lake Museum is the most humanized service place to visit the West Lake. It has a unique shape and beautiful internal layout, and it also allows you to fully understand all aspects of the West Lake. Liulang Wenying is one of the ten famous scenic spots in the West Lake. After the renovation, Liulang Wenying's vast lawn, beautiful waterscape layout and graceful willows by the lake are the biggest attractions. The Metasequoia glyptostroboides forest not far from Liulang Wenying is called Irene Walking, which is another highlight around the Hunan Line scenic spot. Step into the long bridge in the extended lake and look back at Leifeng Tower, which is the beautiful scenery of the West Lake!

3. Hubin Road Pedestrian Street: In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery of the West Lake during the day, it is also an excellent enjoyment to watch the night view of the West Lake at night. Hubin Road Pedestrian Street is the best place to go, although the existence of hotels next to the pedestrian street makes it necessary to allow vehicles to enter the pedestrian street in a limited way.

Aspect: The arcade of Hubin Road Pedestrian Street is the representative building of Hangzhou, and the street is the specialty store of top international famous brands, including giorgio armani, etc ..., and the buildings involved in the famous street are even more interesting. Water is diverted into the street, and the West Lake landscape, classical architecture and modern architecture are organically integrated. This outstanding achievement of Americans won many international design awards in 2004! Lakeside park, across the street from the famous brand, you can see the West Lake Music Fountain, because there is a fountain every 30 minutes in the morning, but the viewing effect is obviously better at night! Music fountains may be found in many cities, but with the scenery of the West Lake as the background, it really feels great! Walking south from The Journey to the West, Hubin Road Pedestrian Street is the Tang Sheng Scenic Area, with the West Lake on one side and the tree-lined walkway composed of tall phoenix trees and flower beds on the other, as well as beautiful waterscape and landscape lights to create a romantic atmosphere.

two kinds

The hotel over there is almost unnecessary to consider. I suggest you take a taxi to other places ... such as Genshan Liushuiyuan Hotel ~ There are good hotels at the intersection of Shaoxing Road and Dongxin Road ... You can't stay in You Guo of West Lake ~ The price of the latter is around 150 ~ It's more affordable ~ Or you can go to Chengxi or Wen Er Road, and those hotel chains are all good ~

Look at this website ~ I live and eat here ~ I am from Hangzhou, and I recommend this to ensure your satisfaction: /mstmap50007/topic.jsp? g_mapid=57 1

West Lake Tour ~ Please see below:

During the trip to the West Lake, in addition to boating on three islands in the lake, we also visited Bai Causeway, Su Causeway, Hubin Road, Nanxian and other famous scenic spots to feel the beauty of the West Lake. There are many scenic spots that you don't know or have heard of, but you don't know how to visit them or how to arrange the route, because most of them are the ancient West Lake District, which has only been rebuilt and restored in recent years, or are covered with green mountains and trees, so it is difficult to find them. Here, I will give you a detailed introduction based on my own tour experience. I hope everyone will have a chance to experience the totally different beauty of the West Lake. Quiet and deep, wild fun is more beautiful, which is their nature. Like the scenic spots around the West Lake, they are all free and open, and they are displayed in the secluded environment of lakes and mountains without walls!

Before the renovation of Yang Gongdi Scenic Area, it was a relatively boring toll attraction-3. On the bank of Liu Jinqiao, there is a road sign indicating Zhao Gong Dike-4. Enter from here. 5. After entering, you can see a small bridge and a memorial arch, saying that Jinxi is beautiful and the lakes on both sides of the bridge are also quite interesting. Through the archway and along the stone road, there is a lake on one side and a small building in the south of the Yangtze River on the other.

Su causeway

Now Su Causeway has been replaced by asphalt pavement, but the scenery on Su Causeway is still charming, especially in the early morning of spring, "Su Causeway Xiao Chun" is by no means a hollow reputation.

Take K4 308, 504, Tour 1, 2, 3, 5, Holiday 1, 4, 5, 7 and get off at Su Causeway Station and Huagang Station, or take the West Lake cruise to Huagang to reach the southern tip of Su Causeway, or take 7, 15, 27, 7.

1. If you go to Su Causeway by bike, you will have another feeling. It's even more interesting to walk with two people, and it's a tandem bike.

2. There are many bicycle rental points by the lake, but it's best to ride to Su Causeway when there are few people, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to stop.

Broken bridge and residual snow

It doesn't matter where the name of the broken bridge comes from. White snake and Xu Xian met at the broken bridge, which is enough to make people proud.

Take 807, 1, 2 and get off at Broken Bridge Station. 507 road, tour 2 road; Get off at Geling Station No.27; Get off at the no 7 and K7 broken bridge stations.

There is a pavilion in the northeast of the bridge, in which there is a monument of "Broken Bridge and Residual Snow". Standing on the bridge, looking around, the distant mountains are close to the water, and the panoramic view is a good place to enjoy the snow scene of the West Lake.

In the silver moonlight

The lake is calm as a mirror, and the autumn moon and the lake complement each other. It is not every day that you can see "a lake full of light and autumn". There is a monument by the lake, engraved with "Autumn Moon in Pinghu".

When the mountains are foggy, the two peaks occasionally show double tips, just like the peaks inserted in the sky, which is a splash-ink painting.

7, 27, 807, You 1, You 2, You 3 get off at Hongchun Bridge.

The imperial tablet "Twin Peaks in the Cloud" was written by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, and the scenic spot of the tablet pavilion is next to Hongchun Bridge.

three pools mirroring the moon

Nowadays, it is difficult to see the beautiful scenery of "three pools reflecting the moon", but even watching the three pools reflecting the moon during the day is one of the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. Located in the center of the West Lake, it can be reached by cruise ship (the fare is 35 yuan or 45 yuan). It was in the morning, around 16:00. You'd better rent a boat if you want to play. Generally, the quotation is around 80 yuan per hour, and the off-season price changes, of course, depending on your ability.

Huagang fish watching

Jiangnan garden art and western garden art are combined most skillfully, and many foreign heads of state and international friends must come here to visit the West Lake. It is not unreasonable.

Take K4 308, 504, Tour 1, 2, 3, 5, Holiday 1, 4, 5, 7 and get off at Su Causeway and Huagang Station, or take the West Lake cruise to Huagang. Open 24 hours free of charge

Breweries and lotus ponds in summer

Ruandu huanbi scenic spot

A green island in the West Lake has the illusion of going back in time because of a maid in ancient costume's tea worship and light singing and dancing. On summer and autumn nights, there is also an antique tour here. Maids dressed in ancient costumes offer tea, play guqin and dance like a lifetime ago.

Take a boat trip from Zhongshan Park.

Jiuxi Tobacco Tree (formerly known as Jiuxi Eighteen Rooms)

"Flow" is the main body here. With the company of mountains and trees, the water is more elegant.

Yu Yue, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, said in a poem: "Nine streams and eighteen streams are the best places in the mountains. I have heard about it for a long time, but now my interest in it is poor. Mountain after mountain winds around the road. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. " Between the lines, the beauty of the beautiful scenery is vividly portrayed. After being designated as the new ten scenic spots, it was renamed as "Jiuxi Smoke Tree".

1. Every April-10 is the rainy season of Jiuxi and the best season to visit Jiuxi. Otherwise, not only can we not see the waterfalls at other times, but the streams of the nine streams and eighteen rivers are also very small.

Jiuxi is 6 kilometers long, with dense forests and winding mountain roads in the whole area, and it takes a lot of time just to walk. If you have a travel plan, it will make the trip very effective.

3. This is a tourist route from south to north: take K4 2, 308, 504, Tourist 5 and Holiday 5 to Jiuxi Station near Qiantang River, and then pass through Jiuxi Yan Shu Park to Longjing or Manlong Guiyu.

4. The other is a tourist route from north to south: from No.27 Longjing Station via Jiuxi Yan Shu Park to Jiuxi Station or Manlong Guiyu.

Five Sacred Mountains

The beauty of mountains and rivers in Jiangnan naturally accounts for only 10%, and humanity is the real reason for its glory. Su Dongpo, Mi Fei and others.

Tickets for Road 7 and Road 507 around Lake 15 yuan. If you can get in and out sooner or later, you can save money on tickets.

Longjing tea scenic spot

If you want to know about Longjing culture, this is the best choice. It is said that if you gently stir Longjing water with a small stick, there will be a watershed on the water surface, which is very strange. West Lake Longjing, produced in Longjing Village west of Longjing, is famous for its green color, fragrant smell, mellow taste and beautiful shape.

Take bus 27 and bus 3 and get off at Longjing Station.

1. The output of real Longjing tea is very small, and most of it is exported to foreign countries, so don't buy Longjing tea easily in Longjing Village, where the aunt seems simple, but the tea you bought from her at a high price is not necessarily "authentic", which is not as good as the larger shopping malls in the city.

Starting from Longjing, there are two routes suitable for friends who have plenty of time and like climbing mountains. A: Go through Phoenix Ridge and Longjing Village, and you can go to Jiuxi Yan Shu. Walking from the terminal of Longjing 27 Road to the bus stop of Zhijiang Road at the southern end of Jiuxi, the whole journey is 6 kilometers and takes 2 hours. B: From the mountain road to the north of Longjing, cross Qipanling, and reach Tianzhu and Lingyin. It's 5 kilometers from the mountain road. It takes two hours to walk.
