Walking along the 15-km perimeter of the lake is a delightful rewind. If not strong legs, choose any of the sections for a leisure stroll; or you may easily rent a bike since the area around the lake is very bike-friendly. The lake shoreline is full of well-maintained paths and gardens which are all free including the lake itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The West Lake presents its different picturesque views under different time of a day, different weathers and different seasons. Even in a smog ( not heavily smoggy \u2013 around P.M 120), the West Lake still looks mesmerizing like a traditional water and mountain scroll of Chinese painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The popular tourist West Lake does attracts domestic tourists who come in droves. A bit annoyed by the noisy huge crowds? Well, just mingle with the crowds and people-watch. Many local people do all kinds of impromptu activities like singing, dancing, playing chess, flying kites, taichi, calligraphy with water brushes, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On your <a
