A Hidden Gem Park by the West Lake, Never Get Tired of Visiting It

Looking for a great place to go on the weekend? Huagang Park (Flower Harbor Park) by Hangzhou's West Lake is definitely a top choice! It's picturesque all year round, and it's free, fun, and photogenic. It's a true hidden gem. As soon as you step into Huagang Park, you'll feel like you're far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Red Fish Pond is definitely the most popular spot in the park. The fish in the pond swim in schools, displaying a variety of colors. They either swim happily or forage leisurely. As long as you stand by the pond and sprinkle some fish food, the fish will swarm up, splashing water everywhere. This scene is incredibly healing. In addition to the Red Fish Pond, the area around Wei Residence is also a great place to see fish. There are also a large number of fish here, and they are quite big, swimming freely in the water, making people feel happy. If you come to Huagang Park in summer, admiring the lotus flowers is a must-do. Large lotus leaves huddle together like big green discs, and pink lotus flowers stand gracefully among them. Some flowers are fully bloomed, revealing tender yellow lotus pods; some are still buds, looking as if they are about to burst. The breeze blows, carrying the fragrance of lotus, which is intoxicating. If you get tired of walking, the benches scattered throughout the park are perfect resting spots. Sit under the shade of the trees, feel the breeze on your face, listen to the birds singing, and look at the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains. All the fatigue of the day will disappear. 📍Location: Huagang Park (Flower Harbor Park) 🎫Tickets: Free, enjoy your visit without any cost ⏰Opening hours: Open all day, whether it's the first ray of sunshine in the morning or the sunset glow in the evening, you can encounter different kinds of beauty 🚌Transportation: Take bus No. 318, 194, or 1314, get off at Yuhubay Station, and enter from the west gate.
