Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 30.281555, 120.171955 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The main subjects are the beautiful lake of the west with its pagodas reflecting on the water, the plantations of te and the skyline of the city of Hangzhou ultramodern. You can climb up the hill and Leifeng Pagoda from which you will enjoy a beautiful view of the lake and the city. Also recommended is the Lingyin temple and Te plantations of the Dragon pit village about 10 km from the city centre. Everything is easily walkable by renting a bicycle.

Recommended equipment : Recommended equipment is definitely a fairly pushed wide angle (14-16mm) for cityscapes and a medium wide angle (24mm) for photos of the lake (ideal a 24-105 or 120 for some detail.)

Best months : All periods of the year are certainly recommended, I think autumn is the best time because of the foliage on the shores of the lake and its colors.

How to get there : Hangzhou is equipped with a convenient and close to the international Airport Center, there are otherwise the super fast trains that come from Shanghai and take about an hour to reach the city centre.

Visits : There are no access tickets to the lake (actually this is a huge city park) or to the plantations of you. You only pay access tickets to the beautiful Leifeng Pagoda (about 5 euros) or to the great Lingyin Buddhist temple (about 10 euros).
