Day Tour: Shanghai to Hangzhou by TTC Travel

Tour Itinerary

Hangzhou West Lake

Hangzhou's fame is largely due to the picturesque West Lake. Lying in the west of the city and surrounded by hills on three sides, the West Lake is 3.2 kilometres from north to south and 2.8 kilometres from east to west with a circumference of 15 kilometres. Its water surface encompasses 5.8 square kilometres, while the islands on the lake occupy 6.3 square kilometres. Its average depth of water is 1.55 metres. Its storage capacity is between 8.5 million and 8.7 million cubic metres.

Linyin Temple

You will find Ling Yin Temple in a long, narrow valley between Fei Lai Feng (Peak lingyin-templeflown from Afar) and North Peak to the northwest of the West Lake at Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province. The temple is without doubt a premier showpiece in the West Lake environs and is notable also as one of the ten most famous Buddhist temples of China. In 1961 the temple was listed for protection as a key provincial historical and cultural site and is considered a leading centre for research relative to Chinese Buddhist culture.
