A very serene and tranquil place to spend for a whole day here
West Lake is famous for its tranquility and landscape views from every corner. There were multiple lists of "The Ten Views of West Lake", you can choose whatever list you like to pursue the views or just enjoy a few of them. We arrived in the morning, and walk along West Lake counterclockwise, starting from its east. It is recommended to plan a whole day if you want to walk along the lake to enjoy these amazing views along the way. The electric minivan is also available to take you if you don't feel like walking that much. The price ranges from RMB10~40 based on the distance you want to travel. Be sure to walk on Su Causeway to recall the past about the contribution of Su Shi, who contributed to the erection of this causeway and the prosperity of Hangzhou. Inscribed as a World Heritage site in 2011, West Lake is definitely a place to visit.

Vast area and UNESCO site
There is plenty of options what do to near West Lake. It is great for taking photos and I stayed until sunset. Took a boat and went to the "Three Pools Mirroring the Pond" Island. Note that not every boat class goes there so ask before booking (plenty of vendors at the lake) if this is on your agenda. You can easily spend a day at and around the lake, Leifeng pagoda and other temples nearby and great family activity as well.
