Traveler reviews
Jason Ng
★★★★★Edited a month agoXihu Tiandi (西湖天地) is an absolutely incredible place to visit, offering a stunning lake view that captures the true beauty of Hangzhou. I visited this beautiful spot with my wife and my parents back in 2012, and it remains one of our most cherished family travel memories. The integration of traditional architecture with modern dining and shopping spaces right along the water is perfectly executed. It provides a peaceful yet vibrant atmosphere that is ideal for families, couples, and photography lovers alike.

★★★★★8 years agoOne of the UNESCO most important and historical sites. This place is educational. Fun for kids or adults. Nice place to visit with your family on weekends. Don't forget to visit the souvenirs shop. The price is reasonable. On-site staff is nice and friendly. 100% recomended.
