Hangzhou’s West Lake night cruise is an important source of entertainment, from mid-April each year to mid-October; a boat trip up the West Lake will fill you with excitement. The West Lake night cruise route starts from the five parks and ends back at the terminal, one round-trip around the lake takes about 50 minutes.
Three boat options are available. The largest are Fang Song (Song dynasty style) boats, which seat 70 to 80 people. On board you can enjoy the charming lake side night, while listening to the zither and other performances while leisurely sipping on a cup of tea. Boarding generally begins at about 18:30 and from 19:00 onward a ship departs every hour. Smaller, recreational boats, seating about 40 to 50 people, leave about every 20 minutes. Finally, the third boat option are the rowing boats, seating about six people, which are great for those that like to be active and hands on.
