March is a good time for spring outing. Starting from March 11, Hangzhou will have two bus routes around the West Lake: the inner-ring route and outer-ring route around the West Lake. The two ring routes link up various scenic spots of the West Lake as well as the surrounding museums and facilitate spring outing for citizens and tourists. 

Both routes operate on daily basis. Citizens may take a bus to tour around the West Lake during the workdays, when the lake is less crowded.
