Hangzhou West Lake Boat Ticket - Three Pools Mirroring the Moon & Xiaoyingzhou Island Landing

Cruise the
Hangzhou West Lake

Board a traditional boat from designated piers around West Lake. Glide across the tranquil waters and take in panoramic views of Leifeng Pagoda, the surrounding mountains, pavilions, and lakeside scenery.

Conveniently choose your boarding point from various piers around West Lake, including Pier 1, Pier 2, Pier 5, Children's Palace, Yue Fei Temple, Yuehu, Zhongshan Park, Huagang Guanyu, and Qianwang Temple, to fit your travel plans.

See Three Pools Mirroring the Moon from the 1 Yuan Bill

Encounter Three Pools Mirroring the Moon (三潭印月), a signature West Lake landscape, from the boat. The three stone pagodas built in the lake are famously depicted on the back of China's 1 Yuan banknote.

Use the provided digital guide to find the best spots for capturing photos that align the banknote's imagery with the actual Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. Bring a 1 Yuan bill or have a photo ready on your phone for a unique travel souvenir.

Explore Xiaoyingzhou Island at your own pace

The boat docks at Xiaoyingzhou (小瀛洲) Island, home to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. Disembark and wander freely through the island's bridges, gardens, and ponds.

After exploring the island, you can take another boat from the designated return pier. You don't have to return to your original boarding point, offering flexibility to choose your disembarkation location based on your next West Lake itinerary.
