The mountains and waters of West Lake, clouds and mist, smoke and willows painting bridges, and ten miles of lotus flowers always inspire poets. 'Scattered shadows slanting horizontally, the water is clear and shallow, and the dark fragrance floats on the moon and dusk'; My favorite is the lack of travel to the east of the lake, with green willows and white sand embankments in the shade; Scattered flowers gradually captivate the eyes, only then can Asakusa have no hooves; Not being able to leave Hangzhou, half of it is this lake Countless literati and ink artists throughout history have devoted themselves to the beautiful scenery of West Lake, creating flowers with their brushwork.

It vividly portrays silk, tea, and the misty rain of Jiangnan, providing a visual experience and spiritual shock!
Visit: [Feilai Peak Scenic Area] (about 1.5 hours) On the hillside facing Lingyin Temple, Feilai Peak has more than 340 Buddhist grottoes statues since the Five Dynasties, which is a rare ancient grotto art treasure in Jiangnan of China and comparable to Dazu Rock Carvings in Chongqing. Su Dongpo once wrote a poem: "Everywhere in the mountains and rivers, you can find a house, but I love to hide my spirit and fly to the peak;
Tour: [Lingyin Temple] If you write a poem for Hangzhou, there is a beginning, a continuation, a transformation, and a combination... then Lingyin Temple is a couplet, or a freehand brushwork, or a scenery, or a book, like the pearl of the Li Long, held and never taken off. Lingyin Temple has inherited the past and present, coming from the prosperous scene of Southeast Buddhist countries and standing in the midst of the turbulent world. Freehand brushwork, it is a Buddhist paradise and one of the "Five Mountains" of Zen Buddhism in Jiangnan. Writing landscapes, it features "two peaks standing tall, towering trees, ancient temples deep in the mountains, and countless clouds and smoke"; Book affairs, it is "a thousand year old ancient temple, a Dharma tower with tall trees, and peace among the people of the sea"; As soon as we enter deep autumn, Lingyin welcomes the most brilliant and colorful season. The leaves have unconsciously turned red, yellow, brown, and orange, and the mountains and forests are like a color palette rendering rich colors! Here, the yellow walls and green tiles conceal the swaying maple shadows, without the desolation of autumn, but with a unique Zen charm. This scenic spot is a seasonal viewing landscape and is greatly affected by weather factors. If you are unable to see the best scenery, please kindly
Tour: [Hefang Street] (free activity for no less than 1 hour), this was once the "root of the imperial city" during the Southern Song Dynasty and also the cultural and economic center of the Southern Song Dynasty. Filled with a strong Han cultural atmosphere, many new shops have opened after renovation. Although this method of renovating old houses may appear rigid and thin due to the lack of cultural heritage accumulated over time, those old brands and houses are still preserved and worth visiting;
