This is a beautiful city with praised tourism facilities. Except one or two spots, all of the tourism spots and service facilities such as the toilets around the West Lake are free. Of course, you have to spend some if you would like to rent a bicycle or board a sightseeing boat. We had a half-day's walk there and cost nothing. But, please take enough water and food with you since they may be a little expensive here.
