⛰️Wushan, also known as Chenghuang Mountain, was once described by the Northern Song Dynasty writer Ouyang Xiu as "Qiantang has the beauty of the world, and this hall has the beauty of Qiantang." 🏯Chenghuang Pavilion is located at the top of Wushan. It is a seven-story ancient-style building with a total area of 3,789 square meters and a height of 41.6 meters. The building is magnificent and combines the architectural styles of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. It offers a panoramic view of the rivers, mountains, lakes, and city of Hangzhou. 🏯Why was Chenghuang Pavilion built? It represents the soul and heart of a city. It is not just a physical building, but also a spiritual symbol, embodying people's longing and wishes for peace and prosperity. 🐲🐲In ancient times, people believed that the City God had the power to protect the city and bless its citizens. Therefore, Chenghuang Pavilion became a major place for citizens to pray and worship. Whenever the city suffered from disasters or foreign invasions, citizens would gather at Chenghuang Pavilion to worship and pray for the City God's protection. Chenghuang Temple became a place for local people to pray for blessings. 👮🏻‍♂️The City God of Hangzhou is named Zhou Xin. He was transferred to Hangzhou during the reign of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty and served as the governor of Hangzhou. During his tenure, he was known for his integrity, fairness, diligence, and love for the people. To commemorate him, a Zhou Xin Shrine was specially set up in Chenghuang Pavilion to honor his noble character. 🏔️Chenghuang Temple was originally located on Phoenix Mountain, but it was moved to Wushan in the ninth year of the Shaoxing period. Because the temple enshrines Zhou Xin, the governor of Zhejiang Province during the Ming Dynasty, it is also called "Zhou Xin Shrine." Zhou Xin was known for his integrity and solving many difficult cases during his tenure, earning him the nickname "Zhou Lianshi" from the people. 🏕️🏕️Walking out of Zhou Xin Shrine, you will find the Ancient Tree Platform, which is home to many ancient trees. Notably, there are two ancient camphor trees here that are seven to eight hundred years old. According to historical records, Wushan once had three major forest landscapes, one of which was: the east of Wushan was dominated by camphor trees, with crowns like clouds. 🏯Chenghuang Pavilion is one of the landmarks of Hangzhou, located at the top of Wushan, with a majestic presence. The flying pavilion at the top symbolizes a phoenix spreading its wings, echoing the folk legend of "dragons and phoenixes flying to Qiantang." Opening hours: All year round: Monday to Sunday 08:00–20:00 Ticket price: CNY 30

When traveling to Hangzhou, I sincerely recommend spending half a day visiting Wushan Scenic Area. Say goodbye to the bustling crowds of West Lake and slowly experience the local life of Hangzhou from Fifteen Kui Alley to Chenghuang Pavilion. This used to be the 'city center' of old Hangzhou. On one side, you have the bustling life of Dajing Alley and Qinghefang; on the other side, you have the serene temples of Wugong Temple and Yaowang Temple; and in Fifteen Kui Alley, you can follow the trail of 'Tomb Notes'. ❤️ Summarizing the places in Hangzhou related to 'Tomb Notes'. 'I am Wu Xie, living on Hefang Street, near Wushan Residence by Xiling Seal Society.' '50 years later, at Xiling Seal Society in Hangzhou, my thoughts were interrupted by an old man.' 'I and the Silent Bottle found a window seat at Lou Wai Lou.' 'He had already gone downstairs. I took a few sullen puffs of my cigarette, stood up, leaned against the window, and saw him walking away along Gushan Road.' 'I chased him all the way to Beishan Road, sweating all over but still couldn't catch up with him.' 'We met at a barbershop he often visited by West Lake. Fatty and I sat on a bench by West Lake, opened a beer, and sighed deeply.' 'Or maybe, the little brother really had no money, and he wasn't taking a taxi but walking. If so, it would be good if he had reached Yan'an Road by now.' 📍 Detailed Address: Wushan Scenic Area, Shangcheng District, Hangzhou 🕒 Opening Hours: 8 AM to 5 PM 🚘 Transportation: Take Metro Line 7 to Wushan Square Station and walk there. 🎫 Tickets: Chenghuang Pavilion ticket is 30 RMB per person, available for purchase on-site or online. 👍 Scenic Route: Fifteen Kui Alley ➡️ Xiaoxia Lane ➡️ Wugong Temple ➡️ Yaowang Temple ➡️ Chenghuang Pavilion ➡️ Wushan Square ➡️ Qinghefang Drum Tower ➡️ Zhongshan South Road 📷 Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ Xiaoxia Lane in Fifteen Kui Alley, the first stop. The alley with blooming trumpet creepers feels like a scene from an anime movie. Standing on the steps of the alley, you can get the popular photo spot of Wangxian Pavilion! 2️⃣ Wushan Residence, located in Fifteen Kui Alley, is Wu Xie's home in 'Tomb Notes'. Many cosplayers gather here, and fans can check in. 3️⃣ Wugong Temple A quiet little temple dedicated to Wu Zixu, a minister of the state of Wu, with two courtyards and three halls.

Bring mosquito repellent, as there are quite a few mosquitoes on the mountain. 2. There are fewer people on weekdays, and it gets busier on weekends. It is recommended to visit in the morning or evening when the light is more beautiful and there are fewer people.

Looking for beautiful scenery in Hangzhou 1. Botanical Garden: There is a stream at the north entrance. The water is gurgling and crystal clear. 2. Hupao Park: Hidden in the mountains between West Lake and Qiantang River, with flowing water and scattered trees, it is a "Wizard of Oz" hidden in an ancient temple deep in the mountains, suitable for playing and taking pictures. 3. The Secret Land of West Lake: The small West Lake cruise line, which takes Maoxiang water conditions as the main line, connects Maojiabu, Turtle Lake, Yuhu Bay and other scenic spots to form a "Wizard of Oz", which is known as the "Secret Land within the West Lake Secret Land" ". 4 Wushan Scenic Area: There is a natural "Wizard of Oz" here. It was discovered by a photographer from an aerial perspective and suddenly became popular. Search for "Xinyi Pavilion" 5 The Orioles in the Willows: The scenery under the New Henghe River Bridge has become popular on social networks because of its verdant green and fairyland-like beauty. Netizens call it the real-life version of the "Wizard of Oz"

In the West Lake scenic area, there are several well-known spots for capturing the 'Oz-like' greenery, such as Yu Hu Bay, Mao Jia Bu, and even the new Heng River bridge at Liu Lang Wen Ying where you have to queue up to take photos. However, recently there's a place on Wu Mountain that resembles a tropical rainforest. With dense vines and a broad view, the towering waves of greenery create a sense of mystery, and you can even see the City God Pavilion and the distant high-rises, giving the impression of stumbling into a sky garden. To capture this secret spot when the City God Pavilion lights up, I went there again with friends yesterday. There were so many mosquitoes at night, so be sure to take protective measures. Address: Wu Mountain Ji Yi Pavilion, you can park at the Wan Song Academy parking lot, and it's closer to ascend the mountain from the Martyrs' Cemetery across the street.

Recently, a friend of mine is planning to travel to Hangzhou, so I compiled a super nice route for her. It is really comfortable and relaxing, and my friends are all praising me. You must visit Qinghefang when you come to Hangzhou. The Drum Tower is the landmark building of Qinghefang! It has traces of history and is full of stories. You can check in and take photos here. Next to it is the Southern Song Dynasty Study, which is very stylish! The wall is full of books. You can sit in the middle of the stairs with a book and immerse yourself in the sea of ​​books. Walk forward and you can see the historical nine-wall art installation. Walk on the stone road and feel the story of the past. Walking through Dajing Lane, you can feel the literary atmosphere. There are many old shops in Hangzhou. There are also many niche but very popular cafes, which are really good to visit. Have a cup of coffee here and spend this afternoon leisurely. Huancuilou also has a market with countless handicrafts and traditional snacks. You can eat authentic Hangzhou snacks. Hu Qingyu Tang feels the culture of traditional Chinese medicine. Recently, it has also crossed over to a cafe. The combination is wonderful. You can experience it. Finally, we walked to the four corners. The red lanterns above our heads set off the pedestrians coming and going on the road. Take a short break here and feel the bustling Hefang Street.

This Hangzhou route is suitable for walking at night. Take the subway to Wushan Square Station, and you will see Wushan Cultural Square as soon as you exit the station. At around 5pm, go to the West Lake to take pictures of the night view of Leifeng Pagoda. There are cruise ships shuttling back and forth. I personally feel that there is nothing much to visit in the West Lake at night, so I walked back to the Wushan Scenic Area, where there is a City God Pavilion. The ticket is 30 yuan, and the night view is very beautiful. You can see the night view of the city from the top. The City God Pavilion itself is also very beautiful, and it is suitable for taking photos and checking in. On the way down the mountain, you will pass by the Hangzhou Museum. Of course, it is closed at night, but you can come during the day. Next is Hefang Street Pedestrian Street. The night market is very crowded and the atmosphere is very good. You can eat, drink, play and have fun all the time. Walk to the end and turn right (see the navigation) to reach Hangzhou Drum Tower. Come back and walk through the Southern Song Imperial Street. You can't finish shopping at all. If you have time, you can go shopping more and visit carefully.

As long as you stroll around West Lake in Hangzhou, you can always see a building with flying eaves and upturned corners on a distant mountain. That is one of Hangzhou's iconic attractions, Wu Mountain Tianfeng, with the building on the mountain called Chenghuang Pavilion, and the mountain itself is Wu Mountain. Despite being a small urban mountain that is not very tall, it is definitely worth a visit. Hiking Route 1️⃣: Hefang Street - Wu Mountain Square - Chenghuang Pavilion - Wu Mountain Zodiac Stones - Jianghu Hui Viewing Pavilion - Dama Alley Hiking Route 2️⃣: Drum Tower - Shiwuku Alley - Xiaoxia Alley - Yaowang Temple - Chenghuang Pavilion - Wu Mountain Zodiac Stones The highlights of both routes are on Wu Mountain, where you can see the full view of West Lake from Chenghuang Pavilion. The nearby Jianghu Hui Viewing Pavilion is also a great spot to admire Chenghuang Pavilion from the side. Be sure to choose a day with good weather to go up the mountain. ⏰Hiking Time The whole journey takes about 3 hours. Wu Mountain is not tall, and the hike is very easy without any pressure, even the elderly can easily climb it. Taking breaks along the way, 3 hours should be enough. ⚠️Hiking Tips: 1️⃣Wear comfortable shoes. Although the mountain is not high, a pair of comfortable shoes will make it easier. 2️⃣Mosquito prevention. As the weather gets warmer day by day, mosquitoes will also become more numerous. Besides the attractions on the mountain, Dama Alley and Shiwuku Alley at the foot of the mountain are also worth visiting. Here you can find the most lively street scenes of Hangzhou, as well as various authentic Hangzhou snacks. After climbing the mountain, you can stroll around here and enjoy a different Hangzhou.
