Xihu Resort Introduction

The West Lake Resort, which emphasizes a romantic European style and natural leisure, is rich in natural resources, covering approximately 60 hectares. Within the large park, there are the Victoria Pavilion featuring local specialty souvenirs, the Versailles Garden, the Herb Café, an 18-hole mini-golf course, a forest barbecue area, hiking trails, a celebrity performance square, a jungle ecology classroom, the Lingshan Cave Blessing Tunnel, a wilderness playground, the Lakeside Pavilion, and Lakeside Café. Thanks to the continued dedication and efforts of the management team, the West Lake Resort has been recognized as a "Top Quality Amusement Area" by the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation for eighteen consecutive years. Notably, the West Lake Resort is conveniently located next to the Sanyi Interchange of National Highway No. 3, allowing you to embrace freshness and leisure without having to trek far. Upon entering, you will be greeted by beautiful forests, a romantic Happiness Square, and a European-style garden, featuring elegantly shaped human sculptures, lively artificial fountains, and tens of thousands of colorful flowers, creating a picturesque romantic atmosphere that immerses you in the tranquility of a European manor, completely forgetting the hustle and bustle of the city. The refreshing natural scenery is complemented by the meticulously planned landscapes of the park. One of the most talked-about natural beauties at the West Lake Resort is a natural lake next to the park, which can rival Hangzhou’s West Lake—"West Lake". Covering an area of 10 hectares, West Lake is surrounded by mountains, its surface shimmering with light, and teeming with rich ecology, presenting a breathtaking view. Strolling along the lakeside, drifting along the willow shore feels like stepping into a landscape painting, and you can’t help but be immersed in the calm and serenity of the surroundings. If you're interested, don’t just stand by the lakeside; enjoy a swan boat ride around the lake. If you’re lucky, you might encounter the resident mallards, allowing for a closer experience of the leisurely charm and natural beauty. Known as the "Hometown of Tung Blossom," the West Lake Resort becomes a popular destination during the tung blossom season from April to May, with fallen flowers resembling snow, attracting numerous visitors. Spending the night at West Lake provides the best opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the blossoming tung flowers; in the early morning, the ground is carpeted with beautiful tung blossoms beneath the sunlight, which playfully dances through the treetops, making the entire forest appear covered in snow, showcasing delicate spring colors. Alternatively, you may climb to the Lakeside Pavilion for a distant view of the white-capped mountains or visit the lakeside to enjoy a boat ride, experiencing the beautiful snow-like reflections on the lake. Various delightful ways to enjoy the tung flowers are well worth experiencing. Top 10 Must-Visit Attractions in the Park: 1.
