Love the Westlake Youth Hostel
There is heaven where is feeling

I have been thinking that I’m a passer in life, hurriedly traveling a road of life, being used to extravagate along the way but never thinking of stopping my steps here.
She has a dream-chasing name, Westlake. It is a heaven on earth, a place full of love legend, a place of a thousand years in the past but there is still a feeling that makes you must return in your whole life. It seems that the love of preexistence and this life has an involving relation, no matter a romantic or sorrow, with this beautiful mountain and water.
Looking for Westlake Youth Hostel below Leifeng Pagoda, beside Jingchi Temple and near Long Bridge seems like passing time channel. Being with lingering 18 Li seeing off of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtian or in the sorrow love of White Snake and Xu Xian seems like seeing Bai Niangzhi strangling under Leifeng Pagoda. It is such unreal but makes you to look forward to and yearn. Shuttling back and forth in the gentle and beautiful legend of Westlake, After tasting trace of years, looking for pure origin from the old walls, wood windows and black tiles of Westlake Youth Hostel and after bidding farewell to the thousand years, you may not sigh for sorrow loves but love the Westlake Youth Hostel for being rapacious of the lazy sunlight, simple like and quiet moment.
Take a hot bath very happily, drink a cup of hot coffee and have a sleep comfortably accompanied with stars all over the night sky. Or you can rent a boat in the Westlake near the Westlake Youth Hostel and you, yourself, look up the attractive blue sky and listen to the boat lady in the Westlake singing Bai Lady, Xu Xian, Lang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. It seems that a thousand years is present and/or the present is a thousand years before. Looked up the cloud folding and unfolding in the sky and saw flowers in front of the gate blowing and falling you realize that free air and quiet and pure life is most true.
Take a cane chair and sit in it to bask in the gentle music, write down a gossip and be in a daze, the Westlake Youth Hostel will make your feeling a rest...
