Yanggong Dike is a peaceful, tree-lined causeway stretching along the western edge of West Lake in Hangzhou. Unlike the more crowded Su and Bai causeways, Yanggong Dike offers a quieter escape with its willow trees, peach blossoms, and gentle breezes. Walking or cycling along the dike, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the lake, the distant hills, and traditional pavilions. The path is wide and well-maintained, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll or bike ride. Along the way, you'll pass the Guo's Villa, a classic Chinese garden, and the Quyuan Fenghe (Lotus in the Breeze at the Crooked Courtyard), which is especially beautiful in summer when the lotus flowers bloom. The dike connects several small islands and bridges, providing a serene experience away from the city's hustle. It's a favorite spot for locals practicing tai chi or flying kites at sunset.
