Take A Private Tour To The Dreamy And Mesmerising West Lakes Of Hangzhou

China is the definition of classical beauty, and the West Lake is utterly mesmerizing: pagoda-topped hills above willow-lined waters as boats slowly drift through a vignette of charm. With walkways, perfectly positioned benches, gardens, and parks around the banks of the lake that offer many vantage points for visitors to admire the perfect scenery. 

Initially, a lagoon joining the Qiántáng River, this lake didn’t exist until the 8th century, when the governor of Hángzhōu had the marshy expanse dredged. As time passed, the lake was gradually cultivated: gardens were planted, pagodas built, and causeways and islands were constructed from dredged silt.

Opera singing, ballroom dancing, and other activities take place around the lake which your Hangzhou escorted tour guide will show you. This beautiful setting with musical dancing fountains set into action throughout the night and day is fabulous.
