Illuminated West Lake in Hangzhou

You cannot afford to miss a trip to West Lake with whatever the modes of travel - strolling, biking or boating. In addition, West Lake shows itself beautifully different with different times a day and different seasons a year.

For me, West Lake is at its best when it is brilliantly lit in the evening on weekends or national holidays. People are intoxicated by the neon-lit boats plying on the lake, the firy pagodas, the illuminated mountains, the starry causeways and dream-like lakeshores.

The musical fountains on the east lakeshore highlight the evening beauty of West Lake, attracting a consistent flow of visitors every evening.
