West Lake Cultural Landscape is a beautiful and impressive UNESCO World Heritage site, located in the city of Hangzhou in eastern China. This large lake has inspired many Chinese painters, poets, scholars and other artists for centuries, and it certainly inspired us as well! We spent an entire day walking around the lake, exploring the various famed scenes at different points, and soaking in the atmosphere. Let's check it out!
