For the Mid-Autumn holiday, it's recommended to book three days in advance through the official channels of West Lake Scenic Area: Feilai Peak ¥45, Lingyin Temple incense voucher ¥30, and tickets are tight on the day. If you can't get one, you can switch to Faxi Temple for ¥10, Fajing Temple for ¥20, and Jiuxi Smoke Tree for free—a quieter experience.
Q: Is West Lake crowded during Mid-Autumn Festival? How can I avoid it?
On Mid-Autumn Day and the evening before, crowds are highest at Duanqiao, Baidi, and Nanshan Road. It is recommended to arrive at Duanqiao or Suti South Entrance before 6:30 a.m., and visit Changqiao Park, Yuhu Bay, and Yanggong Dike in the evening to see the moon, as there are fewer people and the view is opener. During holidays and daytime, try to avoid transferring to the subway in the Hubin business district.
