I thought West Lake was beautiful, but this place is even more stunning

I thought West Lake was already beautiful enough, until I visited this place... I had just finished chasing the cherry blossoms at Quyuan Fenghe and then China Yard's cherry blossoms, lake, and architectural design completely captivated me. They are incredibly beautiful in sunny weather, during the blue hour, and when the lights are on! If you encounter a cherry blossom rain, it's absolutely fantastic. I was so mesmerized by the beauty that I forgot to take photos. 🏠Location: Hangzhou China Yard·Mengxi Garden ❤️Blossom season: Mid-March to Mid-April ❤️Ticket price: 80 RMB per person (not usable in the park) Shooting date: March 29, 2024 🔥Photo spot sharing: ❤️The arch bridge surrounded by cherry blossoms is great to shoot from all three sides. During the day, the front side is beautiful with the sunlight, and in the evening, the backlight from the opposite side is super beautiful. Try using the wide-angle mode on your phone for an impressive shot. It's also very nice to go up the bridge from the side. ❤️Walk through the bridge to the pavilion. This spot is suitable for shooting from the opposite side, perfect for telephoto lenses and drones. ❤️Drone aerial shots at night when the lights are on make you feel like you're in a fairyland. 🔥Tips: 1️⃣White and red dresses match perfectly with the ancient architecture and cherry blossoms. 2️⃣In the evening, you can use a light to supplement the lighting. 3️⃣You can also enjoy tea here, if you want to relax a bit, give it a try. 4️⃣Be very careful with drones. Don't fly too low over the flowers to avoid knocking off petals and potentially crashing the drone. I saw one fall right next to me.

Here you can not only see cherry blossoms but also a colorful array of tulips. Although it's crowded, you can still find good angles for photos 🔅Travel tips for you here: ⌚️Tulip exhibition time: 2024.3.8-4.14 ⚠️8:00-17:00 entry requires reservation ⛲️Location: Hangzhou Prince Bay Park . 🚌Bus: 4 route (Longxiang Bridge, Wushan Square Subway Station) 194 route, 197 route (Huanglong Sports Center Subway Station) 318 route (Wulin Square, Huanglong Cave Subway Station) 2️⃣Second stop: Flower Harbor Like Prince Bay Park, Flower Harbor has many highlights in spring, with a super abundance of flowers, including cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, crabapples, and squills taking turns to surprise you throughout the spring.

The Prince Bay in West Lake during autumn, how can it be ten times more beautiful than spring?

Have you been enchanted by the maple leaves here in Prince Bay in autumn? I just came back from there, and I was really shocked by the beautiful scenery! About the maple leaf season, the time when the maple leaves are red to the extreme has not yet arrived, only a very few trees on the shady side are completely red. But there is no light under the tree, the color tone is too dark. I personally prefer the current maple leaves of green, yellow and orange, which are colorful under the sun. Plus, the water quality in Prince Bay is very good, it is blue-green, and there is a cool color in the warm color of the maple leaves, which is too great. Maple leaf viewing date prediction: In the recent week, the green is gradually less, and most of the maple leaves turn from yellow to orange. In the next week, the maple leaves are almost yellow, and the orange tone is enhanced. In mid-December, the maple leaves enter the orange-red stage, and they are about to be completely red. Maple leaf viewing time: 7-9 am, there will be morning mist in Prince Bay. 14-16 in the afternoon, the afternoon sun is very gentle. My pictures were taken around 3 pm. It's best to come on non-weekends. My highly recommended West Lake maple leaf viewing route: Quyuan Fenghe-Sudi (there is a colorful maple tree) or Guozhuang (park card is free)-Huagang Guanyu-Prince Bay-Hupao Park. In addition, there are Jiuxi and Meiling South Road, which are a bit far apart and not very convenient. You can go there when you have time.

In March, the Quyuanfenhe Park scenic spot by the West Lake is one of the best places to see cherry blossoms. These stunning trees attract countless photographers every day. Entering via the main gate on Beishan Street and crossing the bridge over the stream, you'll find a spectacular photo spot. As cherry blossom season is quite short, you’ll have to be quick if you want to see them in bloom.

Quyuanfenghe Park in springtime is absolutely unmissable. You can't pass up the opportunity to take photos here in March, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Pretty pictures can be taken of cherry blossoms by the lakeside near the Fuqushuiguan attraction, and the reflection of the bridge in the water. The scenery and lake reflections here are extraordinary - all of your photos will look like postcards!

Quyuan Fenghe. It's located at the right side of Xi Hu or West Lake if to take a look at map. This place is mostly famous due to its fantastic lotus fields. There is no lack of water and hot subtropical climate so it makes lotus cultivation very easy. The area offers spectacular view to the visitors. #holidayvacation

Hangzhou's scenery is the best in my mind right now.

Hangzhou's autumn colors are the best in my mind right now! It's not about how many maple leaves there are, or how red they are, but the combination of Jiangnan's pavilions and maple leaves, set against the backdrop of West Lake's mountains and waters, is like a painting unfolding before your eyes.

Hangzhou | Come to Quyuan Fenghe in West Lake to enjoy the autumn during the National Day!

Early autumn in Hangzhou has recently begun to cool down. For autumn leisure walks, Quyuan Fenghe, one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake, is highly recommended. 1⃣️ Appreciate the spider lilies There are still a small number of spider lilies to be seen, in yellow and pink.

This is also a popular spot for taking photos recently. 4⃣️ Appreciate the lotus Then walk to Zhanbilou, the best place to appreciate the lotus.

You must watch a summer finale at Quyuan Fenghe.

Hangzhou in September already has a hint of autumn. 🍂 The tall goldenrain trees on the side of the road are full of small yellow flowers, which at first glance look like osmanthus flowers. · Hi, this is Xiaosi I came to Hangzhou again to see a dreamlike stone garlic flower sea. I went straight to the Botanical Garden after getting off the high-speed rail, and I was still not satisfied after visiting. So I went to Quyuan Fenghe again. The stone garlic flowers here are not as colorful and lush as the Botanical Garden, but they are more mysterious and elegant because there are fewer people. In addition to the looming stone garlic flowers, there are also the remnants of summer lotus, goldfish in the pool... The boat drifts in the lake, heading for the end of the green. Perhaps it won't be long before autumn arrives. It turns out that the summer finale of West Lake is hidden in the twilight of Quyuan Fenghe. · September Quyuan Fenghe travel suggestions If you want to see goldfish, you can enter from Gate 3, walk a short distance on the right hand side and see the entrance of a hotel restaurant, where you can see them. The fish tank is not big, but it is indeed quite photogenic. After taking photos, continue to stroll around, you can see stone garlic flowers all the way, go around a small half circle from the main entrance, and you can also see a little bit of lotus flowers. Hangzhou fragments🧩 updating, thank you for your likes.

West Lake Quyuan Fenghe

Although it is not my first time visiting Hangzhou, this is the first time I brought my little baby. Maybe it's because of the season, but this time West Lake in Hangzhou feels especially beautiful, creating a new memory. I can't imagine how beautiful Hangzhou will be in autumn; I want to visit again in autumn, it must be full of yellow and red colors. This time, it's not the season for lotus flowers, only a few scattered ones, but they are still very beautiful.

A day in Hangzhou to see the West Lake, a myriad of dreams

✨Memories of Jiangnan | Summer Travel Guide to Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area 🎈Check-in Point 1: Broken Bridge Remnant Snow The place where Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen met. Although you can't see snow in summer, the scenery by the bridge is still absolutely beautiful, with the lake's water rippling and perfect for photos. 🎈Check-in Point 2: Quyuan Fenghe A pond full of blooming lotuses, with a gentle breeze bringing waves of fragrance, making you feel like you're in a fairyland. 🎈Check-in Point 3: Three Pools Mirroring the Moon You can take a boat to the island to admire the three stone pagodas in the lake. When the lights in the pagodas light up at night, it has a unique charm. 🎈Check-in Point 4: Leifeng Pagoda At sunset, the silhouette of Leifeng Pagoda is particularly enchanting, and you can overlook the entire beautiful scenery of West Lake. Thanks to the recommendation from a local Hangzhou resident, their Hangzhou cuisine is super authentic: Discovered a must-eat Hangzhou cuisine restaurant by the West Lake. It's impressive to treat friends here, the environment is comfortable, and the key is that Wu Ji Restaurant's Hangzhou cuisine is super authentic, with a genuine Jiangnan flavor. √ Iron Pot Baked Prawns A signature dish that every table must order. Each fresh prawn is covered with garlic, emitting a fragrant aroma. The prawn meat is bouncy and flavorful, perfectly blending with the garlic, making it delicious and hard to stop eating. √ Ice Cream Crème Brûlée The crème brûlée is covered with butter, looking very appetizing. It tastes soft and sweet, paired with cool vanilla ice cream, offering a rich texture and sweetness that reaches the heart. √ Crispy Duck Roasted to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just right. The duck meat is firm, with two dipping sauces to choose from, each flavor is delicious, and every bite is filled with happiness. Finally, I recommend a travel route for everyone: West Lake is very large, and walking the entire 10km route is particularly tiring. Especially for family trips, bringing parents or girls with poor stamina, it is recommended not to walk the entire route. Since the West Lake sightseeing car travels clockwise, I have summarized a walking + cycling + sightseeing car + boat route for everyone to easily check in the ten scenic spots of West Lake. Exit from Longxiang Bridge Exit C ➡️ Zhiwei Guan Breakfast ➡️ Orioles Singing in the Willows ➡️ Three Pools Mirroring the Moon ➡️ Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor ➡️ Evening Bell at Nanping Hill ➡️ Leifeng Pagoda in the Sunset ➡️ Dawn on the Su Causeway ➡️ Quyuan Fenghe ➡️ Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake ➡️ Broken Bridge Remnant Snow ➡️ Wulin Night Market Dinner Summary: As a landmark scenic spot in Hangzhou, West Lake is incredibly beautiful, but it also requires adequate preparation. Sun protection, hydration, mosquito repellent, and cooling measures are small details that can make your trip to West Lake more enjoyable and comfortable!

In Hangzhou, one must visit Quyuan Fenghe to admire the lotus flowers during the summer

As one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake, Quyuan Fenghe is famous for its lotus flowers, and the charm of its lotus breeze and lotus rhythm is undoubtedly unparalleled. The lotus flowers here include red lotus, white lotus, double-deck lotus, spotted lotus, and twin lotus, among others. It is said that there are hundreds of varieties. The lotus flowers are everywhere, displaying various postures. In some places, the lotus leaves are densely packed, while in others, they are sparsely scattered. The density of the lotus flowers is just right, making them a beautiful embellishment. It is expected that the peak blooming period of the lotus flowers will last until early August this year.

Hangzhou's West Lake (Quyuan Fenghe)

Quyuan Fenghe is located within the Hangzhou West Lake scenic area and is one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake. The garden is quite large and has a tranquil environment. The park is filled with lush flowers, plants, and trees. The quaint and elegant courtyard architecture complements the lake surface, creating a delicate and elegant picture scroll of the Jiangnan region. When I visited Quyuan Fenghe, it was springtime. Although I couldn't see the gently swaying and dancing lotus flowers, fortunately, the plum blossoms were in full bloom. Although there were only a few scattered trees, they were very beautiful! Transportation: You can take bus No. 277 to Yuefen Bus Station, and then walk more than eighty meters to reach the destination.
