Crane Release Pavilion

Step into Fanghe Ting (Crane Pavilion) and immerse yourself in the poetic legacy of Song Dynasty scholars! Nestled on Solitary Hill, this iconic pavilion is where hermit poet Lin Bu famously "married plum blossoms and adopted cranes as his children". The panoramic West Lake view from here is breathtaking, especially during spring when plum blossoms bloom. Sip on Longjing tea while absorbing 1,000 years of refined cultural vibes – it's the quintessential Hangzhou experience every traveler craves.
