Visiting West Lake in the New Year, Su Causeway is crowded with people, and the plum blossoms on Solitary Hill are blooming

The beautiful scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou in the Year of the Dragon, the weather in Hangzhou these days is really good, everywhere is filled with the festive spirit of spring warmth and dragon horse spirit, the New Year in Hangzhou is another warm and sunny day, and the air visibility is very good, so I started walking from Bathing Goose Bay, passed through Rainbow Bridge to Yanggong Causeway, from Flower Harbor to Su Causeway, checked in at the six bridges of Su Causeway, walked to Beishan Street, and finally returned after tasting the plum blossoms of West Lake on Solitary Hill, the whole journey is about 5 kilometers, lasting 4.5 hours. The feeling along the way, first of all, the quietness of Bathing Goose Bay and the bustle of Su Causeway form a sharp contrast, I often come to West Lake, but like the second day of the lunar new year, the few people in Bathing Goose Bay still make me happy, as for Su Causeway, the crowded scene of cars and people, and the scene of people full on the bridge, can also be foreseen, because this is a must-visit place for tour groups. For the first time, I checked in at Weilu in Flower Harbor Park. This group of 'scenic waterfront garden buildings' centered on irregular pools is really photogenic, but because it was noon, the light and shadow were difficult to grasp, and a plum tree by the pavilion had also begun to bloom. In addition, a few red flowers had bloomed on an old plum tree next to the peony pavilion in the park, but a large-scale bloom is expected to take another week or two. The most beautiful place for plum blossoms is still Solitary Hill. As one of the three traditional places to appreciate plum blossoms in Hangzhou, the plums on Solitary Hill have always been full of literature and aesthetics. After checking in, I found that the current opening rate of plum blossoms on Solitary Hill is about 20%, and it is expected that it will enter the peak season in another week. The colors of the plum blossoms here are very rich, with yellow wintersweet, as well as red and pink plums. In addition, several green plums also have flower buds. Paired with the landscape of West Lake and the story of 'plum wife and crane son', it is worth recommending to visit Hangzhou in the New Year and appreciate the plums on Solitary Hill.
