[West Lake, Hangzhou] Avoid the crowds and stay in West Lake with your mom and kids.

People always ask me why there are no people in my West Lake photos. It's because I stayed in West Lake! 🏨 Hotel: Wangzhuang Hotel. You can take photos of Leifeng Pagoda and West Lake without leaving the hotel. The hotel has a long lakeshore, which makes for great photos. The hotel also offers free boat rides on West Lake. 🚣‍♀️ West Lake: I bought a green car ticket, so I could get on at any stop as long as there was a seat. It's so nice to tour West Lake without walking, especially on a nice day! Here are some West Lake stops that kids will love: 1) Hubin Qingyu: A great place to feed pigeons and squirrels. It's not too crowded. Bring some corn and nuts for a great experience! 2) Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor: You can feed fish here. Kids love it! 3) Quyuan Fenghe: You can feed fish here too. It's a great place for a stroll. 🍚 Finally, go to Hangzhou Restaurant for authentic Hangzhou cuisine. Get a number in advance if there are a lot of people, or you won't be able to eat during meal times!
