99% of Hangzhou travel guides won't mention these 3 secret springtime havens that you must save

Imagine, in the misty rain of Hangzhou, waiting for the ink painting of Jiangnan in March. Only in the rainy season does Hangzhou reveal its true beauty of 'Ink Wash Jiangnan', like a paradise on earth. Such scenery is usually hidden in three places: ✅【Yu Hu Bay】-The charm here lies in its tranquility🍃 Step into Yu Hu Bay, and you'll be surrounded by a sea of greenery. Distant mountains, lake water, bamboo forests, and vines intertwine in various shades of green, creating an overwhelmingly beautiful scene. Apart from the occasional birds and wild ducks flying by, and the small boats cleaning the lake surface, the Ji Hong Bridge here is a famous ancient photography spot in Hangzhou. During the rainy season, the area is shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland. Here, there is no hustle and bustle of traffic, only peace and beauty. 📍Best Route: Use navigation to 'Yu Hu Bay', follow the stone path deeper to find Ji Hong Bridge, then walk along the lakeside, and you will discover the tranquil beauty of the San Tai Mountain area. ✅【Mao Jia Bu】-The feature here is its wild charm🦆 I remember when I first started learning photography, my teacher took us here for an outdoor shoot. This place is a paradise for spring birds and a haven for squirrels, with February orchids blooming along the roadsides, as well as willows, reeds, and bulrushes. Stroll along the wooden path, wander through the sparse bamboo and reeds, and occasionally you'll find a thatched pavilion. Sit inside, daydream, this place is a springtime dreamland. 📍Best Route: Use navigation to 'Shenzhou Base', enter from the Yang Gong Causeway entrance across the road, walk along the lakeside, and the Dai Se Shen Tian Pavilion is right at the exit. ✅【Turtle Pool】-The highlight here is its beauty💦 I'm not a fan of overly artificial places, but Turtle Pool is an exception. The waters here are filled with natural aura, where water, flowers, water reflections, and tree scenes come together to form a vivid Chinese landscape painting. There are both early and late cherry blossoms, and although it's not as famous as Taizi Bay, it has a more private and romantic atmosphere. Rowboats occasionally pass under the arch bridges, bringing vitality to the calm lake surface. 📍Best Route: Use navigation to 'Turtle Pool', where you can enjoy the early cherry blossoms. For the late cherry blossoms, walk along the river to the opposite side, where there is a large area of late cherry blossom forest and weeping begonia. I hope these can meet your expectations, allowing you to find your own peace and beauty in Hangzhou's spring.
