• West Lake (Xi Hu) - Upon reaching Hangzhou, the first stop is the iconic West Lake, a symbol of Hangzhou’s beauty. With rolling hills as a backdrop, this mirror-like lake is encircled by willows swaying in the breeze and adorned with islets and blooming lotus flowers. West Lake offers stunning photographic opportunities from every angle. The delightful ‘Three Pools Mirroring the Moon’ scene is even featured on the CNY 1 note.

As the oldest temple in Hangzhou, with over 1,700 years of history, it is a treasure of Buddhist culture, housing various historic relics from different dynasties. A unique monk named Ji Gong (1148 - 1209) was ordained here. The guide will share intriguing stories about this famous monk, known for his ragged appearance and disregard for Buddhist commandments.
