The number of people that can be reserved daily is 24,000. Everyone needs to make an appointment including people holding Hangzhou Park IC Card and those enjoying other free policies!

Fudi Causeway (??), Yulin Road (???) and Xixi Sculpture Garden are free tour areas, so no reservation is required.

After the reservation is made, many citizens may have some questions like the following: how do the elderly enter the park without a health code? Are there places to park? Are there any restaurants where we can dine inside the scenic area?

VisitHangzhou is here to answer your questions!

01 Do I need to wear a mask when entering the park? What if there is no health code?

Yes! The epidemic is not over, and everyone entering the park needs to wear a mask. There are three things to keep in mind when entering the scenic area:

Please make a reservation in advance;

Wear a mask and show your green Hangzhou Health Code;

Have your body temperature taken and tour around the scenic area in an orderly manner.

What about those coming from outside Hangzhou, and the elderly and children? They don’t have Hangzhou Health Code. How can they enter Xixi Wetland?

The health codes of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui are universal. At the same time, the park has set up instructions for applying for the Hangzhou QR code at each entrance. You can apply for the Hangzhou Health Code on the spot by scanning with Alipay. The elderly and children need to register their information on the spot.

02 Will the scenic area be crowded with people? How to avoid the peak periods?

According to recent observations, 10:00 and 13:00 are the periods with the most people; especially on weekends, the number of visitors reaches its peak. We recommend that citizens and tourists choose off-peak periods to tour, especially for older citizens who are recommended to make a reservation to tour on weekdays.

Park admission time:

8:00 to 17:00 before March 31

7:30 to 18:00 from April 1 to May 1

03 Is there a parking lot? Is it convenient to take buses to the scenic area?

There are parking lots both at the entrance and exit of the Zhoujia Village (???) and the entrance and exit of the North Gate. The parking fare for cars is 5 CNY per hour and is capped at 30 CNY per day. The Xiyue City (???) parking lot at the entrance to Westbrook (????) charges 6 CNY per hour; If these parking lots are full, you can also choose to park in surrounding areas such as Xixi InCity near Zhoujia Village and Xihu District Cultural Center near the North Gate.

What to See in Xixi?

The Flower Festival is coming, and there are already many flowers blooming on Lvdi Causeway.

However, it should be noted that the East Gate is currently “exit only”. To enjoy the flowers, you need to walk to the western entrance of Lvdi Causeway by way of Fudi Causeway.

Because the park is large, it is recommended to take a battery boat to various attractions to fully appreciate the ecological and cultural beauty of the wetland.

Riding a sculling boat is also a good choice, where you can enjoy the water scenery of the wetland and enjoy more private time.
