Autumn has arrived, and taking a trip to West Lake to enjoy the scenery is an excellent way to spend the season. It’s so relaxing to be on a boat, drifting along the lake, that you might even find yourself falling asleep. This kind of life is truly something I envy.
Speaking of boat tours on West Lake, I’m going to introduce you to them today. There are many types of boats on West Lake, but they are mainly divided into three categories.
The first type is the boat that only circles the lake without going to the islands. This is operated by Zhejiang Foreign Affairs Seaboat, and there are two types of boats: the ordinary painting boat and the luxury painting boat.
The second type is the boat that can go to the islands. This is operated by Hu Youchuan Company, and the boats can be divided into painting boats, leisure boats, large yachts, self-driving boats, and self-rowing boats.
The third type is the hand-rowing (rowing) boat operated by local boatmen.
But which type of boat to choose ultimately depends on your own arrangement. If you want to go to the islands, choose the second type. If you don’t want to go to the islands, choose the first or third type. Although the third type has its own charm, it might be a bit slow to get to the islands.
