Step into a postcard-perfect scene at Hangzhou’s West Lake, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often called 'heaven on earth' for its dreamy landscapes. But there’s more to this iconic spot than meets the eye—it’s a living museum of China’s history and culture!
From Scenic Views to Ancient Stories
While visitors flock here for the willow-lined shores and lotus-filled waters, West Lake hides centuries of secrets in its pagodas, temples, and stone bridges. Imagine walking the same paths as poets and emperors from the Song Dynasty!
Why This Tour Hits Different
CGTN’s Olivia He isn’t just showing you sights—she’s decoding symbols in ancient architecture and sharing tales of folklore that shaped Hangzhou’s identity. Pro tip: Watch for Leifeng Pagoda, a ruin-turned-landmark with legend status in Chinese literature!
