2-Day Hangzhou Tour | Drifting on West Lake, Enjoying a Leisurely Boat Ride

| Drifting on West Lake, enjoying a leisurely boat ride. With your mention of Hangzhou, I've arrived in true paradise. This summer, let's stroll through Hangzhou and encounter the most enchanting Jiangnan scenery. 🌟 Highlights: 📍Gongshu Canal Sports Park Designed in an irregular oval shape by international teams including ATS from the U.S., the park draws inspiration from the Liangzhu culture's "cong" jade artifact, featuring yellow anodized aluminum and diagonal grid glass curtain walls. The Gongshu Canal Sports Park Stadium, also known as the "Hangzhou Umbrella," mimics the frame of a Jiangnan oil-paper umbrella. Its lightweight and elegant design borrows from the bamboo umbrella concept, with a roof resembling an open oil-paper umbrella, aligning with Hangzhou's umbrella culture. The park's lighting design follows the theme "Rosy Clouds Over Gongshu, A Picturesque Asian Games," with "water" and "shore" as key motifs. 📍Asian Games Themed Light Show The show begins with "Moonlit Osmanthus Rain," using lunar phases to convey the sentiment of "sharing the moment under the same sky" and osmanthus wreaths to bless athletes with "winning the laurel." Subsequently, Hangzhou's three UNESCO World Heritage sites unfold in sequence: the Liangzhu divine beast motif, West Lake's landscapes, and the Grand Canal's scenery trace historical roots, showcasing Hangzhou's natural and cultural beauty. 📍Huanglong Sports Center Located in Hangzhou's Xihu District, Zhejiang Province, and built in 1994, this venue hosts football, basketball, and other events. It serves as the home stadium for the Chinese Super League team Zhejiang Greentown and was a venue for the FIFA 2007 Women's World Cup and the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. For a long time, it was Zhejiang's largest and most comprehensive modern sports facility, integrating competitions, performances, fitness, dining, accommodation, business, and exhibitions. The main stadium is a landmark of Zhejiang and Hangzhou, while the gymnasium's unique architecture expresses its artistic conception. The tennis center features a retractable roof, a first for sports architecture in Zhejiang. 📍West Lake Scenic Area Situated in downtown Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, it is divided into Lakeside, Lake Center, North Hill, South Hill, and Qiantang areas. Renowned for its stunning lakes and mountains and numerous historic sites, it is a famous tourist destination in China and hailed as "paradise on earth." 📍Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor One of the "Ten Scenes of West Lake," it features the Red Fish Pond and the Imperial Stele Pavilion, located west of the southern section of Su Causeway. The garden comprises five areas: Red Fish Pond, Peony Garden, Flower Harbor, Lawn, and Dense Woods. It faces Leifeng Pagoda and Jingci Temple across Su Causeway. The Red Fish Pond, slightly south of the garden's center, is the main attraction. Its naturally winding banks surround an island, with a zigzag bridge offering views of thousands of golden-scaled red fish swimming and playing in the water.
