Golden Hour at West Lake 🌅 – A Must-See in Hangzhou

#chinatravel Watching the sunset at West Lake, as the sun slowly dips behind the distant mountains, the entire lake turns into a shimmering canvas of gold, pink, and deep blue. It’s peaceful, poetic, and absolutely breathtaking. 📍 Best spots to watch the sunset: • Su Causeway (苏堤) – Ideal for a lakeside walk with a panoramic view. • Yue Fei Temple area – Less crowded and very scenic. • Leifeng Pagoda – Watch the sun set behind the pagoda for that classic postcard view. • Music Fountain area near Hubin – Great if you’re staying in the city center and want convenience. 💡 Tip: Arrive about 30–45 minutes before sunset to find a good spot and take in the changing colors. If you’re lucky, you might catch the lake wrapped in a light mist, adding a dreamlike touch to the view.
