Baoshu Pagoda Sightseeing & Photography

Continue your gentle uphill hike to arrive at the stunning Baoshu Pagoda, the iconic landmark crowning Baoshi Mountain and a centuries-old treasure of West Lake. Well-preserved through hundreds of years, this slender and elegant ancient pagoda features exquisite traditional Chinese architectural craftsmanship, standing gracefully atop the mountain ridge and forming the most classic skyline of Hangzhou West Lake. Unlike other towering pagodas, its streamlined and delicate outline creates a soft, poetic Jiangnan aesthetic that charms every visitor. Perched at the hilltop's open viewing platform, you will be rewarded with a 360-degree unobstructed panoramic view of the entire West Lake scenic area—glistening rippling lake water, lush tree-covered islands, winding waterfront causeways, and the harmonious fusion of natural mountain-lake scenery and modern urban landscapes unfold right before your eyes. Your professional local guide will share in-depth historical tales, folk legends and architectural knowledge about the pagoda. Meanwhile, the guide will lead you to exclusive premium photo spots with optimal light and angles, allowing you to capture breathtaking panoramic lake views, exquisite close-ups of the ancient pagoda, and perfect postcard-style travel moments.

Leisure Stroll on Bai Causeway

After completing the mountain hiking and Baoshu Pagoda sightseeing, you will enjoy a pleasant lunch and a short rest to recharge yourselves before continuing the lakeside exploration. Then, take the gentle downhill path down the mountain and head to the stunning Bai Causeway, one of West Lake's most beloved classic waterfront landscapes. Stretching gracefully across the core zone of West Lake, the long causeway is adorned with swaying willow trees and blooming seasonal flowers all year round, presenting a timeless poetic Jiangnan scenery. Visitors can take a casual stroll along the quiet waterfront trail, feel the soft lake breeze brushing the face, and listen to the soothing sound of lapping lake waves, fully immersing in the serene and romantic lakeside atmosphere.

Optional Activity：You can rent shared bikes to ride along the flat and picturesque Bai Causeway, enjoying a relaxed and unique sightseeing method. For specific rental information, suitable riding routes and practical tips, you can consult your professional tour guide at any time.

Broken Bridge Visit

After a full day of leisurely sightseeing and hiking, conclude your wonderful tour at the world-famous Broken Bridge. As one of the most iconic and legendary landmarks of West Lake, this elegant ancient stone bridge features a delicate arch design and picture-perfect lakeside scenery all year round. It serves as the ideal finishing spot for your full-day West Lake exploration, where you can slow down, linger freely, and appreciate the timeless poetic charm of Jiangnan's mountain and lake landscapes. Particularly special is its world-renowned Broken Bridge Remaining Snow scenery. If you are fortunate enough to visit on a snowy day, the snow-covered bridge arches blend seamlessly with the misty lake surface. Part of the bridge appears hidden while the rest is exposed, creating a dreamy, layered snow scene that ranks among West Lake's most famous top ten scenic views, offering an extremely rare and breathtaking visual experience.

After strolling along the broken bridge, you can choose to take our private vehicle back to your hotel or continue to wander around the Hubin Intime for a relaxing night.
