A guided journey through Hangzhou’s UNESCO-listed West Lake is offering visitors an immersive exploration of one of China’s most celebrated scenic and cultural landmarks. The experience blends panoramic viewpoints, traditional boating, and historic walking routes to reveal the lake’s enduring artistic and literary significance.
