Last weekend, Hangzhou was blessed with clear skies and bright sunshine. Bathed in the warm glow of winter sun, the West Lake was transformed into a dreamy winter wonderland.

The Chinese parasol trees lining Beishan Street, Gushan Road, and Yanggong Dike were ablaze with golden leaves. The sunlight dappled the ground through the leaves, creating a stunning mosaic of light and shadow and turning the area into a scene from a romantic movie.

To preserve the enchanting winter scenery, the West Lake Scenic Area has designated specific areas where fallen leaves will not be swept. Daily clean-up operations will focus on removing litter, ensuring a clean environment while preserving the seasonal charm.

Don’t miss the limited-time opportunity to embrace the winter magic of the West Lake while the weather is perfect.
