Xixi National Wetland Park is well known as the "Three Xi’s (West) of Hangzhou" (short for the three landmark attractions in Hangzhou) along with West Lake (Xihu) and Xiling Seal-Engravers Society. Covering an area of 10.08 square kilometers, Xixi National Wetland Park is located in the west part of Hangzhou, less than 5 kilometers away from West Lake.
