It's my first time visiting West Lake. What's the best way to spend the day in the most efficient way? What's a good time to arrive in the morning?

If you're visiting West Lake for the first time, we recommend arriving before 7 AM! This way, you can avoid the crowds and enjoy the breathtaking view of the lake shrouded in the morning mist. Recommended route: Broken Bridge → Bai Causeway → Calm Lake Autumn Moon (perfect for photos) → Su Causeway (walk or bike) → Flower Harbor Fish Viewing. Have lunch at Lakeside Yintai, and then ascend Leifeng Pagoda for panoramic views in the afternoon. This way, you can visit all the classic attractions in one day without feeling tired!
