★★★★★8 months agoVery scenic. nice trees with red leaves especially if you are lucky to catch the morning sunlight

★★★★★8 years agoSudi is a lovely walkway along the west side of west lake, there's several shops along the way selling ice-cream and beverages, including fresh squeezed juice for hot summer days. It doesn't cost anything, but if you're tired of walking, there are electric carts driving alround all of west lake frequently, so you can pay to ride along with one of those. There's also boats depaeturing from here to the island in the middle of west lake.
