Hangzhou's hidden sunset spot, old-fashioned human fireworks||。
||。Hangzhou's hidden sunset spot, old-fashioned human fireworks||🌈I've been in Hangzhou for 7 years, although I often go out to play, I've been to Wushan Mountain many times, but following the leader who grew up at the foot of Wushan Mountain, the feeling is really different.
💕💕💕
I really like this route, half natural forest, half city prosperity, half human fireworks, I saw the daily life of old Hangzhou, drinking tea in Wushan Mountain, playing cards under the tree, cheap and authentic Hangzhou cuisine, refreshing my cognition of Hangzhou's food desert.

Half a day on weekends in the city forest to breathe fresh air, feel the summer wind, watch a West Lake sunset in the evening, and have an authentic dinner in the old Hangzhou alley, this is the weekend in Hangzhou!🌈🌈🌈

Compared to West Lake, I prefer this niche and free route in Hangzhou
When traveling to Hangzhou, I sincerely recommend spending half a day visiting Wushan Scenic Area. Say goodbye to the bustling crowds of West Lake and slowly experience the local life of Hangzhou from Fifteen Kui Alley to Chenghuang Pavilion.
This used to be the 'city center' of old Hangzhou. On one side, you have the bustling life of Dajing Alley and Qinghefang; on the other side, you have the serene temples of Wugong Temple and Yaowang Temple; and in Fifteen Kui Alley, you can follow the trail of 'Tomb Notes'.
❤️ Summarizing the places in Hangzhou related to 'Tomb Notes'.
'I am Wu Xie, living on Hefang Street, near Wushan Residence by Xiling Seal Society.'
'50 years later, at Xiling Seal Society in Hangzhou, my thoughts were interrupted by an old man.'
'I and the Silent Bottle found a window seat at Lou Wai Lou.'
'He had already gone downstairs. I took a few sullen puffs of my cigarette, stood up, leaned against the window, and saw him walking away along Gushan Road.'
'I chased him all the way to Beishan Road, sweating all over but still couldn't catch up with him.'
'We met at a barbershop he often visited by West Lake. Fatty and I sat on a bench by West Lake, opened a beer, and sighed deeply.'
'Or maybe, the little brother really had no money, and he wasn't taking a taxi but walking. If so, it would be good if he had reached Yan'an Road by now.'

📷 Must-Visit Spots
1️⃣ Xiaoxia Lane in Fifteen Kui Alley, the first stop. The alley with blooming trumpet creepers feels like a scene from an anime movie. Standing on the steps of the alley, you can get the popular photo spot of Wangxian Pavilion!
2️⃣ Wushan Residence, located in Fifteen Kui Alley, is Wu Xie's home in 'Tomb Notes'. Many cosplayers gather here, and fans can check in.
3️⃣ Wugong Temple
A quiet little temple dedicated to Wu Zixu, a minister of the state of Wu, with two courtyards and three halls. You can overlook the Southern Song Imperial Street from here!
4️⃣ Chenghuang Pavilion
Located at the top of Wushan Square, it is the best place to capture the panoramic view of Wushan Scenic Area, especially at dusk when the scenery is more enchanting. You can also get unique shots of Leifeng Pagoda!
5️⃣ Wugong Temple
The family temple of the Southern Song emperors, located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by lush summer trees, with a cool breeze, making it a comfortable place to daydream!
⚠️ Notes:
1. Bring mosquito repellent, as there are quite a few mosquitoes on the mountain.
2. There are fewer people on weekdays, and it gets busier on weekends. It is recommended to visit in the morning or evening when the light is more beautiful and there are fewer people.

The cost-performance ratio is absolutely amazing for this quaint ancient-style building with a winding path leading to a secluded spot
Hangzhou!! West Lake!! At this moment, 159 for two people, we don't want to check out!! Our fondness for Hangzhou's homestays has skyrocketed!! It's so beautiful it could be legendary! For 159, two people can't believe that this affordable West Lake hotel is right in the city center! The cost-performance ratio is absolutely amazing for this quaint ancient-style building with a winding path leading to a secluded spot, and you'll fall in love with it after just one stay
1 The location has won my heart
Backed by Wushan Tianfeng, one of the new top ten scenic spots of West Lake, it's within walking distance
2 A quiet standalone two-story building amidst the hustle, the homestay is hidden in an old neighborhood brimming with life. The decor, inspired by the Southern Song aesthetic, is fresh and elegant. Open the window, and you're greeted by green trees and blooming flowers, with each of the four small courtyards featuring its own seasonal charm
3 The breakfast is really delicious, with a wide variety, including both Chinese and Western options. Porridge, steamed buns, salted eggs, orange juice, yogurt, salad, bread—there's always something you'll like
The staff, especially the young ladies, are very patient and answer any questions with great care. Seeing a girl with a suitcase, they immediately help to take the luggage to the room
5 Other facilities are also very complete, including a bathtub projector, a bathroom with wet and dry separation, and rooms designed with original wood and Song Dynasty imitation that let you feel the charming allure of the South

You don't have to go to Yunnan; there's a rainforest haven right in the center of Hangzhou
In the West Lake scenic area, there are several well-known spots for capturing the 'Oz-like' greenery, such as Yu Hu Bay, Mao Jia Bu, and even the new Heng River bridge at Liu Lang Wen Ying where you have to queue up to take photos.
However, recently there's a place on Wu Mountain that resembles a tropical rainforest. With dense vines and a broad view, the towering waves of greenery create a sense of mystery, and you can even see the City God Pavilion and the distant high-rises, giving the impression of stumbling into a sky garden.
To capture this secret spot when the City God Pavilion lights up, I went there again with friends yesterday. There were so many mosquitoes at night, so be sure to take protective measures.
Address: Wu Mountain Ji Yi Pavilion, you can park at the Wan Song Academy parking lot, and it's closer to ascend the mountain from the Martyrs' Cemetery across the street.

There are two hiking routes up Wu Mountain in Hangzhou that are particularly characteristic of the city
As long as you stroll around West Lake in Hangzhou, you can always see a building with flying eaves and upturned corners on a distant mountain. That is one of Hangzhou's iconic attractions, Wu Mountain Tianfeng, with the building on the mountain called Chenghuang Pavilion, and the mountain itself is Wu Mountain. Despite being a small urban mountain that is not very tall, it is definitely worth a visit.
Hiking Route 1️⃣:
Hefang Street - Wu Mountain Square - Chenghuang Pavilion - Wu Mountain Zodiac Stones - Jianghu Hui Viewing Pavilion - Dama Alley
Hiking Route 2️⃣:
Drum Tower - Shiwuku Alley - Xiaoxia Alley - Yaowang Temple - Chenghuang Pavilion - Wu Mountain Zodiac Stones
The highlights of both routes are on Wu Mountain, where you can see the full view of West Lake from Chenghuang Pavilion. The nearby Jianghu Hui Viewing Pavilion is also a great spot to admire Chenghuang Pavilion from the side. Be sure to choose a day with good weather to go up the mountain.
⏰Hiking Time
The whole journey takes about 3 hours. Wu Mountain is not tall, and the hike is very easy without any pressure, even the elderly can easily climb it. Taking breaks along the way, 3 hours should be enough.
⚠️Hiking Tips:
1️⃣Wear comfortable shoes. Although the mountain is not high, a pair of comfortable shoes will make it easier.
2️⃣Mosquito prevention. As the weather gets warmer day by day, mosquitoes will also become more numerous.
Besides the attractions on the mountain, Dama Alley and Shiwuku Alley at the foot of the mountain are also worth visiting. Here you can find the most lively street scenes of Hangzhou, as well as various authentic Hangzhou snacks. After climbing the mountain, you can stroll around here and enjoy a different Hangzhou.
