Santanyinyue Island is one of the few islands in the West Lake that is accessible to visitors, and visitors need to board a West Lake ferry to reach the island.

Show More ReviewsWest Lake is very large, and walking the entire way would be very tiring. Taking the sightseeing bus saves a lot of energy. The bus passes many famous scenic spots along the lake, with picturesque scenery all the way – it's like walking through a painting. You can stop and take photos whenever you see a beautiful view. Overall, it's a great experience and saves energy. I recommend it to anyone visiting West Lake.
