West Lake
西湖

West Lake is Hangzhou’s pride and symbol. Lush willow trees, pagoda-topped hills, and man-made islands surround the freshwater lake. Take in the serene atmosphere at any of the Ten Scenes of West Lake, such as Dawn on the Su Causeway in Spring, Curved Yard and Lotus Pool in Summer, and Moon Over the Peaceful Lake in Autumn. These spots give you the greatest views of the landscape! Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, West Lake has greatly inspired poets and painters throughout Chinese history—the most notable being Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo when he compared West Lake’s splendor to Xi Zi, one of the four ancient beauties of China.

Singapore Botanic Gardens
The almost-200-year-old Singapore Botanic Gardens is home to well over 10,000 species of plants. With 2,000 species of orchids, it is considered one of the top tier orchid research centers in the world. Kids will love running around the lush greens, but be cautious of the meter-long monitor lizards roaming around. They’re pretty harmless, but the sight of a giant reptile might cause a fright.
