A stroll along the banks of Xihu feels like stepping into a watercolor painting, lulling you into tranquility and peace. If you are interested, don’t just stand by the lakeside gazing; consider taking a swan boat for a spin. You might get lucky and encounter some ducks gliding nearby, allowing you to enjoy the leisure and natural beauty up close. Known as the "Hometown of Tung Oil Flowers," Xihu Resort attracts numerous visitors during the Tung oil flower season between April and May, when the falling flowers create a stunning scene resembling snow. Staying overnight at Xihu offers the best opportunity to witness the beauty of blooming Tung oil flowers; in the early morning, the ground is blanketed with beautiful flowers, while sunlight dances through the treetops, casting playful shadows across the forest floor, making it look as if covered in pink spring hues.
