Hangzhou West Lake is one of China's Top Ten Scenic Spots and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Surrounded by hills on three sides and the city on one, the lake covers approximately 6.38 sq km. Its classic layout features one hill (Solitary Hill), two pagodas (Leifeng and Baochu), three islets, and three causeways (Su, Bai, and Yanggong). The Ten Scenes of West Lake — including Spring Dawn at Su Causeway, Melting Snow on Broken Bridge, and Leifeng Pagoda in Evening Glow — are world-famous. The legend of the White Snake adds romantic charm. A lakeside stroll or boat ride reveals beauty in every season.
