The riverside Maoxiang is nowadays home to a sea of purple flowers swaying gently in the wind. “Er-yue-lan” (Purple Saxifrage), a messenger of spring, has entered its full blooming period. The flowers on both banks set off beautifully against the waterscape. A stroll across the scenery makes one feel an embrace of spring, as if self-immersed in a fairyland. In recent years, the West Lake cruise route along the Maoxiang area has gained a great popularity, enabling more of us to discover this tranquil and picturesque spot on the western side of the lake.

Apart from Maoxiang, the route along Yanggong Causeway, Wuguitan, and other attractions are also now coated with such a purple sea. Just choose the one as your favorite and go get the bets of spring!
