Refreshing Natural Scenery In addition to the carefully planned landscapes within the resort, the most fascinating natural beauty at Xihu Resort is undoubtedly the natural lake adjacent to the area – "Xihu" (West Lake). Covering an area of 10 hectares, Xihu Lake is surrounded by mountains, with shimmering waters and rich ecology, offering picturesque scenery. A stroll along the lake's edge feels like walking into a traditional Chinese landscape painting, immersing visitors in tranquility and comfort. If you're interested, don’t just stand by the lakeside gazing at Xihu; rent a swan boat for a ride and, if you're lucky, you might even encounter friendly mallards gliding by, allowing you to enjoy the leisurely pleasures and rugged beauty up close. Known as the "Hometown of Camellia Flowers," Xihu Resort attracts countless visitors during the oil tea flower season from April to May, when fallen blossoms create a snow-like carpet. Spending the night at Xihu allows you to fully appreciate the beauty of the camellia flowers in bloom; in the early morning, the ground is sprinkled with beautiful petals while sunshine dances playfully through the tree canopies, making the entire forest resemble a snowy wonderland in soft spring hues. Alternatively, you can climb to the Lake Viewing Pavilion for a panoramic view of the majestic mountains; or visit the lakeside to paddle on a boat and behold the stunning scenery reflecting on the water. There are various delightful ways to enjoy the camellia blossoms worth experiencing. Top 10 Must-Play Highlights in the Park: 1.
