Yuhuwan
浴鹄湾
A quiet bay in the southwest corner of West Lake that few tourists visit, with Jihong Bridge, reeds and cedar groves reflected on the water like a painting. Locals regard it as the most beautiful corner of the lake.
Yuhuwan lies on the west side of the southern section of Yang Gong Causeway, with Turtle Pond to the north. It takes its name from the hu birds (swans) that once rested in the bay. It is a wetland landscape restored after the West Lake comprehensive conservation project. Jihong Bridge and Zijiu Hall, which commemorates Huang Gongwang, dot the area, and the water reflects the scenery like a painting. With few visitors, it is regarded by many locals as the most beautiful corner of West Lake. Admission is free. You can walk here from Taizi Bay or Maojiabu and link it into a slow route along West Lake's western shore.
