I thought West Lake was already beautiful, until I went to Monet Garden at Xiang Lake.

Hangzhou in May already has a summer vibe. The romantic water lilies, roses, and evening primroses are still in full bloom. Compared to the crowded West Lake, I recommend Xiang Lake, which is less crowded and easier to visit. The water lilies at Xiang Lake are also in bloom, and there are fewer people, so it's easier to take photos. The quiet lake is full of flowers, and I finally understand the charm of Monet's water lily paintings. It's so beautiful! [Location]: Dingshan Square: Free: Taken on May 7! : Take Metro Line 1 to Xianghu Station, Exit C, and transfer to the Xianghu Lake Sightseeing Line to Dingshan Square, or take a taxi for about 15 minutes (I recommend taking a taxi). I !! [Photo Tips] The time of day is very important. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm is the best time. After that, the flowers will close. You can take portraits sitting on the stone slabs, using the large area of water lilies as a background. There is also a large green lawn nearby, which is also a great place to take photos. I recommend wearing light-colored clothes.
