West Lake Scenic Area Panoramic Guide

Real coordinates · smooth curved route
West Lake in Hangzhou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is embraced by hills on three sides and the city on one. The classic route starts at Broken Bridge, follows Bai Causeway past Autumn Moon on the Calm Lake, climbs Solitary Hill, crosses Su Causeway in Spring Dawn to Flower Harbor Fish View, and finishes at Leifeng Pagoda with a panoramic view. Combine walking with boat rides to enjoy the essence of the Ten Scenes in one day.

  2. Autumn Moon on the Calm Lake

  3. Solitary Hill
    about 380 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
  4. Su Causeway in Spring Dawn
    about 820 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    Climb Solitary Hill to visit the Xiling Seal Art Society and Zhongshan Park, experiencing seal carving and cultural heritage; leave Solitary Hill and head south along Su Causeway. Su Causeway was built when Su Shi dredged West Lake; its six bridges, misty willows, and peach blossoms make Spring Dawn the first of the Ten Scenes. About 1 hour. Why this route: Solitary Hill gathers the cultural essence of West Lake, and Spring Dawn on Su Causeway ranks first among the Ten Scenes; the causeway offers a sweeping view across the lake and is the most photogenic stretch of the route.
  5. Flower Harbor Fish View
    about 1420 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
    At Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor, enjoy koi playing in the water and the peony garden in bloom, then head east along Nanshan Road and climb Leifeng Pagoda. From the top, overlook all of West Lake; at sunset the lake and pagoda mirror each other—the classic scene "Leifeng Pagoda in Evening Glow." About 1 hour. Why this route: Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor offers a lively yet restful pause, and Leifeng Pagoda as the finale gives a panoramic view of the lake; the evening glow and the White Snake legend leave a lingering finish.
  6. Leifeng Pagoda Sunset
    about 960 m (straight line) from the previous stop · Sight
