West Lake is the “golden signboard” of Hangzhou, a tourist and leisure city, and it is also the top 5A-level scenic spot in China. Especially when you visit here, you don’t need to buy tickets for a circle around the lake. If you bring your own water and dry food, It can even achieve zero consumption, so almost every month, every week, every day of the year, it maintains an endless stream of people coming and going. As the temperature rises, although Hangzhou is also very hot, there are still many friends who come from other places to escape the summer, and the scenic spots around the West Lake have become more and more lively. As for which time of day is the quietest, it is only in the early morning. Most of the people who go to the scenic spot during this time are locals, either exercising or hiking. Of course, there are also some photographers who will go out of their way to get up from morning to night just for the sunrise or sunset. 
In order not to waste equipment, occasionally I will go to the West Lake to keep watch from dark to dawn, especially when Hangzhou falls into the abyss, this is often the case. It is also the most “cool” time of the day, and the body feels quite comfortable. Some time ago, I went to the “Shenzhou Base” to check in, and I took aerial photos by the way. Although I didn’t encounter an amazing sunrise, it was quiet and not lacking in beautiful scenery. ! 
“Shenzhou Base” is no stranger to Hangzhou people who like to take pictures. This boat is famous for this boat. After listening to an elderly photography teacher beside him complaining: “One of the boats sank for some reason, and they are not picked up”, I noticed that this small pier was missing a corner. So regardless of camera or aerial photography, compared to before, the photos taken will feel a little less, and I feel the same way, but unfortunately I don’t come here to play, it seems that there are no good works left, I can’t help but feel deeply sorry, only I hope the scenic spot will restore the sunken ship to its original position as soon as possible. 
The real big pier is just across the bridge, the big one in the West Lake. Some of the rowing boats are docked here. Before dawn, some small boats have already started to “leave the port”. It can be seen that although there are very few tourists in the early morning, there is still business to do.
along this section of Yanggongdi On one side, the Shenzhou base, the hand rowing pier, and the Guozhuang and Quyuan Fenghe are in order. It is suitable to follow this line in summer. As long as you pay a little attention, you can see “the lotus leaves are boundless green” everywhere along the way. , the lotus flowers are different in the sun”. 
Facing these two piers, on the other side of Yanggong Embankment is the Maojiabu scenic spot with Hangzhou characteristics, not only the natural scenery Beautiful, cultural landscape is also unique. Because the West Lake Scenic Spot is too big, you may not be able to complete the tour for the first time. When you come to the second and third time, I personally recommend visiting here. 
The advantage of aerial photography is not only that it can change the angle of view, but it can also make people walk a lot less and use a small plane as a means of transportation. ”, Su Causeway, who used to “walk off a broken leg”, is just around the corner, the “Jade Belt Bridge” in the distance is clearly recognizable, and the Gushan Gem Mountain in the distance is a little hazy because of the fog. Overlooking the Su Causeway, as always, it is as lush and vibrant as spring. If you are familiar with “Spring Dawn at Su Causeway”, you will naturally hear all kinds of birdsong. This phenomenon is somewhat similar to “Wangmei to quench thirst” 
After five o’clock, the sun will come as promised, and slowly stick your head out. This is also the best picture of the day. Because the clouds over the city are too thick, I am actually not satisfied. Such a sunrise scenery is really not ranked in Hangzhou. Since I was going to go on a business trip after dawn, I started to close the booth and prepare to go to the meeting point.

Because the time is still early, the degree of freedom of flying “airplanes” here is OK, plus I have at least six drones (Not counting those who flew far), occasionally “passing by” at close range, and they would greet each other as a warning. (Although it is theoretically not allowed to fly around the West Lake, or even the height is not limited, but for safety reasons, some scenic spot staff or local police station police will still come forward to dissuade them, so everyone must pay attention to safety when taking aerial photos here, and it is recommended to keep a low profile as much as possible. some oh).
