A morning mist lifts off West Lake as you step through the carved stone gate of Jingci Temple; incense threads the air and the guide points you toward a parked share-bike. Wheels whisper along Yanggong Causeway, the lake daring you to slow down, while tea-field roads unfurl into low, green hills. You trade asphalt for old bamboo-paths, the trail rising and falling like a quiet conversation as it leads toward Tian'xi Mountain and the layered eaves of Fa'xi Temple.
