Hangzhou Travel Seasons

No matter what season or weather, you can pay a visit to Hangzhou. West Lake is just like a magician who can showcase its perfect appearance in all seasons and every kind of weather. Why not follow the steps of ancient people and enjoy the beautiful scenery of four seasons here in Hangzhou:

With the gentle wind and intoxicate water, spring is the best time to walk on the Su Causeway and enjoy the beautiful flowers and overlook the peach blossom and willow flowing just like in the mist in Hangzhou. Longjing Tea Garden is full of green tea leaves, it is the busiest and happiest time for tea planters in the whole year.

In the midsummer, people will lose their interest of traveling in the temperature of 30℃ above. However, we cannot miss that lotuses are blossoming in the West Lake under the burning sun. Zigzag Bridge is almost covered by dark green lotus leaves. With the faint scent, you suddenly feel that summer hot is gone. In the bamboo sea of Wuyun Mountain, it is also a cool and refreshing world.

In the cool and sunny day, travelers can smell the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers from far away. Before and after mid-autumn, it is the busiest time for Hangzhou people. They are busy watching the spring tide of Qiantang River in the daytime and enjoying lakes and the moon in the evening. Although they are the same moon and water, one is as spectacle as the thunder and the other is very quiet. How amazing the nature is! Wintersweet can live in the cold weather. One in Ming Dynasty said: West Lake is the best; Yu Lake is better than Qing Lake but worse than Yue Lake and Yue Lake is worse than Xue Lake. None of a season can realize the chilly, solemn and aloof and proud West Lake in winter.
