Health and Fitness
The ridges surrounding West Lake are interconnected and the hills are moderate, making them suitable for hiking. Beginning in 2008, the Hangzhou city government fully renovated the mountain roads surrounding the lake, drew up maps, and published a guide to encourage residents to hike for fitness.
In 2011, 15,000 people attended the International Hangzhou Trailwalk Conference, which became an influential public health project in the city.
This track starts from the foot of Laohe Mountain, then passes through the mountains around the West Lake, and finally reaches the foot of Wushan Mountain. The whole journey costs about 7 hours. It is a perfect fitness track for outdoor exercises.
