In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years since the last time I visited the “Shenzhou Base”. As the temperature in Hangzhou rises, amazing sunsets appear from time to time, so I couldn’t help but come to the “Shenzhou Base” Here, prepare to wait for the sunrise of the West Lake which has not been seen for a long time. 
Because I live far away, and the summer sun is always too diligent, so when I go out, the sky is still hanging With the bright moon, there are not many stars, the best and most obvious one is the North Star. When we arrived at the destination at exactly five o’clock, the sky was just beginning to be bright, but it was no surprise that there were many people on the “T”-shaped walking trail along the lake, and this “Internet celebrity” attraction was already quite lively. Chatting with the people around me, I learned that some teachers actually started to squat at three or four o’clock. 
When the light dawn turns purple to red, except Several egrets and cormorants were startled, which also caused waves of admiration from the shore. Probably because of the frequent rains during this period, compared to the past, the entire West Lake and the sky seemed to be much more transparent and beautiful. 
The reason why it is called “Shenzhou” Base”, these small boats moored here all year round are the reason. With its increasing popularity, many friends from other places will also come here to take pictures. For example, during my trip, I met an uncle from Beijing who claimed to be here for tourism, but kept asking about other places to take pictures by the West Lake. Attractions, obviously are photography enthusiasts! Fortunately, I didn’t need to answer. The enthusiastic local teacher sent the answer. After a long chat, I immediately made an appointment to meet Pinghu Qiuyue the next morning. The friendship between these photographers is so simple, direct and efficient. .

To say who was the first to work in West Lake, besides the photographers, it was probably the sanitation cleaners and security guards. Ensuring the sanitation of West Lake is not only about sweeping the road and cleaning the green belt, but also a considerable number of cleaning boats. They are often half an hour earlier than the handboats and cruise ships in operation, cruising in all corners of the West Lake, cleaning up the garbage and litter floating on the water. When the sun rises, they are often the first to bathe in the sparkling waves, becoming the earliest cultural landscape of West Lake. 
To be honest, the morning I came here, the sunrise was not perfect, because the sky above the city was so big that it even looked a little dark, and the sun only showed its face intermittently a few times, Soon it was completely lost in the clouds that were white but not white and black but not black. During this period, I took a close-up with a telephoto lens. When I “showed off” on the Moments, I was praised by several people as the “Eye of Horus”. After reminding me like this, I became more and more alike. What does it feel like? 
There are many places in Hangzhou suitable for watching the sunrise, and “Shenzhou Base” is one of the more classic ones. It’s just that the traffic in the early morning is not very convenient, so if you want to see the sun here, it is best to drive by yourself (you see a lot of cars temporarily parked on the side of the road, it should be fine) or ride, there are already clear marks on the map, directly Navigation is enough. If you usually want to punch here, you can take bus No. 194 or No. 318 to Dingjiashan Station, and then walk 231 meters in the direction of West Lake.
