About this route
Plan around the Xihu lake, thought to visit the most important monuments and streets. Intense visiting, is not meant to be for entering every one of the buildings on the list, there is time enough for some of them though. Circular route, can be started anywhere around the lake and come back to the same place at the end.
The day, hour by hour
Arrival and departure times worked out for Saturday, 31 October 2026 using each place's opening hours. When we do not know the hours, we say so.
