West Lake, Hangzhou

Day 02Hangzhou

Today's tour will cover the essence of Hangzhou. In the morning, you are going to take boat to visit the West Lake, which is the soul of this unsophisticated city. The entire 5.68 square kilometers water area is surrounded by green hills and divided into many scenic spots by bridges, dykes and ancient buildings. For hundreds of years, Chinese refined scholars have written countless poems and essays to admire the beauty of the West Lake. You could visit the Red Carp Pond in the south of the Flower Harbor Park, where over one thousand of red carps are fed. The park, listed in the top ten beauties of the West Lake, harmoniously combines the red pond, zigzag bridge, pavilions and evergreen scenery.

The following destination is the state-level Museum of Traditional Chinese Medicine which is a part of Hu Qing Yu Tang, a time-honored Chinese medicine pharmacy. Here, you could discover the history of Chinese traditional medicine as well as the introduction and producing process of Chinese herbs. Coming to the northwest of the West Lake, you will get to the splendid Lingyin Temple, which was constructed about 1,600 years ago and now is the oldest temple in Hangzhou. Coexisting with surrounding landscape, the temple has five main halls compactly positioned on a rising axis lying on Wulin Mountain. You could step up to see a number of ingenious Buddha statues in the halls as well as pagodas and Buddhist grottoes on the mountain.
