Of course, Hangzhou is going to the West Lake, but you are very nervous after only half a day. If you have nothing to do in Shaoxing, you might as well go to Hangzhou. Since then, Hangzhou has a rich nightlife. You can even visit the West Lake at night, which should be cool. Hangzhou is too hot during the day.
If you are in Hangzhou, you can go to Where Street or something in the evening. Go to the West Lake the next day. If you don't have much time, you can start directly from the broken bridge. There are many attractions there. Yuemiao, Quyuan Fenghe, Pinghu Qiuyue and Lingyin Temple are all in this half.
The southern part is mainly Nanshan Road, and there are Leifeng Tower and Taiziwan Park in the middle of the park outside the West Lake. Nanshan Road is characterized by night tour, which is a bar street with more style in architecture and decoration.
Generally speaking, Hangzhou is more playable. Hangzhou City Station Railway Station is not far from the west, and there are many hotels at a distance from Hangzhou City Station to West Lake.
Therefore, if the main purpose of coming to Hangzhou is the West Lake, it is best to take the train to Huochecheng Station. It's convenient to go to the West Lake from here. The k7 bus from the railway station goes to the West Lake Scenic Area. In addition, He Fang Street is also very close to the city station.
Sorry, the train ticket says go to Hangzhou. Then stop at the train city station. If it is a ticket to Hangzhou South, it will be far away. It's Xiaoshan Railway Station, and it takes about an hour to get to the city by bus.
If you take a bus from Shaoxing to Hangzhou, it seems that you get off at Jiubao Passenger Transport Center, which is not close to the urban area, at least for more than an hour. Even Hangzhou South Railway Station is not far from the West Lake. If you go to Hangzhou West Railway Station, it will be closer to the West Lake.
Generally speaking, it is still the city station, and the railway station is closest to the West Lake.
