The hiking route in Xiang Lake, Hangzhou, offers a stunning view that is no less beautiful than West Lake.

West Lake in Hangzhou is beautiful, but it is always crowded with people, which takes away the fun of sightseeing. So I prefer its sister lake - Xiang Lake. Today I will share three hiking routes in Xiang Lake. Climb to the top and enjoy the panoramic view. The scenery is no less beautiful than West Lake! - 1️⃣Lao Hu Dong Mountain (Pictures 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) Drive directly to Lianhua Ancient Temple and start climbing from the temple. It takes about half an hour to reach the top. You can also start hiking from Long Hu Dong Village at the foot of the mountain. After reaching the top, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Xiang Lake. The view is excellent. - 2️⃣Xian Zhao Zen Temple (Pictures 5, 6, 7, 18) You can drive directly to the top of the mountain, or you can climb along the road next to Kaiyuan Senbo Resort at the foot of the mountain, or you can climb along the mountain trail next to Xiang Lake Financial Town Slow Life Block. The view here is very good, suitable for watching the sunset or sunset glow. You can also watch the sunrise in the morning. - 3️⃣Chengshan Ring Line (Pictures 15, 16) Start climbing from Chengshan Square, pass through the ruins of King Yue City - King Yue Terrace - the ruins of Wo Xin Chang Dan, and finally descend from the bamboo forest. The whole ring line takes about 2 hours. It is more suitable for hiking. The view of Xiang Lake from the top of the mountain is average, but there are buildings and ruins along the way, which are also worth seeing. -
