If there's any place to see and be seen in Hangzhou it's West Lake. This is a magnet for day-trippers from nearby cities and locals alike; this lake impresses with its beauty and atmosphere. Visitors come not only for the scenic views of pagodas and tea plantations but also to snap selfies, shop for souvenirs and even dress up for professional photoshoots. Cruising the lake by boat offers a peaceful way to enjoy distant views of the city — without leaving the serenity of the water. #lake #free #photography #lakeviews
