Hangzhou West Lake Cruise Ticket (Including landing on Three Pools Mirroring the Moon Island)

Cruise the West Lake by Boat

Hop on a West Lake cruise and take in Hangzhou's representative scenery from the water. Surrounded by green mountains, ancient bridges, pavilions, and pagodas, you'll discover a different perspective than exploring by foot.

Enjoy a relaxing time as you glide past iconic West Lake landmarks like the Broken Bridge, Su Causeway, and Leifeng Pagoda.

Explore Three Pools Mirroring the Moon Island Up Close

The cruise will take you to Xiao Ying Zhou (小瀛洲) in the center of West Lake. Once you disembark, you can freely explore the island's pavilions, bridges, ponds, and gardens at your own pace.

The highlight here is Three Pools Mirroring the Moon (三潭印月), an iconic West Lake scene famously depicted on the back of China's 1 Yuan banknote. Capture a special Hangzhou travel photo with the three stone pagodas rising from the lake as your backdrop.

Return from Your Chosen Pier

There's no strict time limit for exploring the island, so feel free to take your time. When you're done, simply board a return cruise from a designated pier back to the West Lake. Currently, various official piers offer cruises to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon.
