Beautiful scenery of west lake

The West Lake is a poem, a natural picture and a beautiful story. People who have lived here for many years, or travelers who pass by in a hurry, are fascinated by the beautiful scenery of a Chinese Odyssey. In the spring of March, Fei Ying grass begins to grow. The two dikes are plain white, and the peaches and willows sandwich the shore. There are waves and cruise ships on both sides, and empty mountains and green waters in the distance. Walking on the embankment at this time, you will be amazed at the scenery in front of you, even ecstatic, and wonder if you have entered the fairyland.

The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is not only unique in spring, but also meets the lotus flowers in the sky in summer, the moonlight-soaked Santan Yinyue in autumn night, the red plum in the shadow after the winter snow, and the willow cage screen window and the songbirds on the balcony in the misty rain-no matter when you come, you will appreciate the unusual style.

The Ten Scenes of the West Lake were formed in the Southern Song Dynasty, basically distributed around the West Lake, and some were located on the lake. Su Causeway Xiao Chun, Quyuan Fenghe, Pinghu Qiuyue, Broken Bridge Canxue, Liulang Wenying, Huagang Fish Watching, Leifeng Sunset, Twin Peaks Inserting Clouds, Nanping Night Bell, Santan silver moon, all ten scenic spots of the West Lake are good at winning, which together can represent the essence of the ancient West Lake. So both Hangzhou locals and foreign tourists are saying that it is better to swim first.

1985, Hangzhou citizens and people all over the country actively participated in the selection of the ten scenic spots of the new West Lake, which was determined after repeated deliberation by the expert selection committee. They are: Yun Qi Bamboo Trail, Manlong Guiyu, Tiger Run, Longjing Tea, Jiuxi Tobacco Tree, Wushan Tianfeng, Soft Shield Huanbi, Huanglong, Jade Emperor Feiyun and Gem Liuxia.

Su causeway

Su Causeway starts from Nanping Mountain in the south and ends at Qixia Mountain in the north, with a total length of nearly three kilometers. It was dredged by Su Dongpo, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, when he was the magistrate of Hangzhou. Later generations named Su Di to commemorate her achievements in managing the West Lake. The waves lying on the long embankment connect the north and south mountains, adding a charming scenery to the West Lake. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiao Chun, Su Causeway was listed as the first of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, and in the Yuan Dynasty, it was also called "Liuqiao Willow" and was listed as the ten scenic spots in Qiantang, which shows that she has been deeply loved by people since ancient times.

After the cold winter, Su Causeway is like a graceful messenger of spring. The willows on the shore are brilliant, the peaches are bright, and the lake waves are like mirrors, reflecting beautiful images and infinite tenderness. The most touching thing is that at dawn, the western hills are sinking, the breeze is blowing slowly, and the willows are floating on the embankment, which is fascinating.

Many ornamental flowers and trees, such as Magnolia, Cherry Blossom, Hibiscus, Osmanthus fragrans, are also planted in Su Causeway, which are colorful all year round. Time series changes, the morning is dark and sunny, the atmosphere is different, and the scenery is different. The picturesque scenery makes Su Causeway a place that people can enjoy all the year round. During the Southern Song Dynasty, a lake market was once formed here. "Old Wulin" recorded Tomb-Sweeping Day's grand tour around the lake and wrote: "In Su Causeway area, peaches and willows are dark, red and green are interlaced, and rope walking, riding a title of generals in ancient times, flying money, throwing balls, kicking wood, throwing sand, swallowing knives, spitting fire, jumping circles, fighting and various games of birds and insects abound." There are also trading fairs, fragrant teas and fruits, and wine. Now there are cosmetic puppets, lotus boats, war horses, gongs and drums, and trivial playthings on the market. "

Su Causeway's long causeway extends and six bridges fluctuate, providing a leisurely and changeable tour route for tourists. Walking on the embankment, walking on the bridge, lakes and mountains are picturesque, and thousands of customs are for everyone to enjoy.

The six arch bridges on the Su Causeway are named InBev, Suolan, Wangshan, Dike, Dongpu and Yuehong from south to north. As you can see at the bridge head, each is leading the way: Yingbo Bridge is adjacent to Huagang Park, with rain hanging from the trees and smoke swaying; Suolan Bridge is close to Zhou Xiaoying and far from Bao Shu Tower, close to reality and far from emptiness; Looking west on the Wangshan Bridge, Dingjiashan is lush, with two peaks towering into the sky; Dike Bridge is located in a prime location between the north and the south of Su Causeway. In the old days, it was also a waterway for lake owners to travel west. "Su Causeway Xiao Chun" Jingbei Pavilion is just south of the bridge. Dongpu Bridge has reason to suspect that it is the myth of Pu Shu Bridge, and it is one of the best places to watch the sunrise on the lake. After crossing Hongqiao, over the rainbow flies after the rain, and the lakes and mountains are like fairyland.

From the north side of Gushan Temple to the west side of Jiating, the lake is just level with the embankment, with low clouds and waves on the lake.

Several early orioles raced to the sunny tree, and their new swallows were carrying mud in their nests.

Colorful spring flowers will gradually fascinate people's eyes, and shallow spring grass can barely cover the horseshoe.

I love the beauty on the east bank of the West Lake, and I can't get enough of it, especially the white sand embankment under the green poplar.

Breweries and lotus ponds in summer

Quyuan Wind Lotus, with the theme of lotus viewing in summer, inherits Su Causeway's spring dawn and ranks second among the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. "Qu Yuan" was originally a brewing workshop opened by the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court. It is located near the Hongchun Bridge on Lingyin Road, near the shore of the West Lake at that time. Lotus was planted on the shore of the lake. In summer, when Xu Lailiang blows gently, the fragrance of lotus flowers and wine is everywhere, which makes people drunk without drinking. Wang Yan, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, once said in a poem: "Looking for summer is cold in spring, and the pier is cold in the evening. Ai Quxiang array is far away from people, and you can buy a boat after Gao Qiao. " After that, Qu Yuan gradually declined and was abandoned. After Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty wrote Ten Scenes of the West Lake, a Fenghe Pavilion was built in Qu Yuan on the Su Causeway opposite Hongqiao. All that remains is a small courtyard, with a small lotus flower on the lake in front of it. Today, Quyuan Fenghe is a large park gradually built from 1983. The whole park is divided into Yuehu Garden and Penny Garden. Five scenic spots: Fenghe, Quyuan and lakeside dense forest. There are Yuefei Tomb Temple, Guo Zhuang and Hangzhou Botanical Garden around the park. , combined into a perennial tourist hotline on the north line of West Lake.

Qu Yuan's wind load, the most striking thing is to enjoy the load in summer. Hundreds of varieties of lotus are cultivated in the lotus ponds of all sizes in the park, among which the wind and lotus scenic spots are particularly charming. Here, the water surface is dominant, and there are red lotus, white lotus and heavy lotus. The lotus is especially enchanting when it is sprinkled with famous varieties such as Jinlian and Bingdilian, and beside the lotus leaf field. Small bridges of different shapes were set up on the water, and people walked across them. For example, walking in Holland, people lean on flowers, flowers reflect people's faces, and flowers fall in love with people.

Yingxun Pavilion is a good place for tourists to enjoy the scenery. When you board the pavilion, you can see the beautiful scenery of "infinite green leaves in the sky and different red lotus flowers in the sun". Xu Lai, the breeze in the lotus fragrance, is refreshing and worrying. Your Excellency Ying Xun has set up a Dutch culture showroom to show people the noble virtues of "a gentleman in a flower" and all kinds of excellent literary and artistic works that reflect people's value orientation, aesthetic photos and moral pursuit.

Yuehu Scenic Area preserves the small courtyard of the monument "Qu Yuan Feng He" inscribed by Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, which is one of the only two original monuments left in Kangxi West Lake. Bamboo Garden Scenic Area was only opened in recent years. It used to be one of the famous West Lake gardens in the early Qing Dynasty, with bamboo and stone pavilions, winding water, quiet and elegant.

Tents, hammocks and bamboo sheds are prepared for tourists in the dense forest scenic area by the lake. You can have picnics, fish, have fun and get together here.

On the north side of the park, near the Yuefen business circle, there are Fenghe wine garden, antique brewery and several unique ethnic restaurants.

Pinghu Qiuyue Scenic Area is located at the western end of Bai Causeway, at the southern foot of Gushan Mountain, near the West Lake. In fact, as one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, Pinghu Autumn Moon did not have a fixed scenic spot in the Southern Song Dynasty. This is not difficult to see from the poems praised by scholars in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties at that time, such as "the moonlight is cold and the spring scenery is sluggish, where there is a boating ode"; Ming Hongzhanzu wrote in his poem: "Autumn Geren climbed the waves and wrinkled, and the fairy mountain castle was dusty in the mirror." In the woodcut prints of the Ten Scenes of West Lake in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, the picture of autumn moon in Pinghu is still dominated by tourists looking up at the moon on the lake boat.

In fact, the location of the autumn moon scene in Pinghu was determined after thirty-eight years of Kangxi. At that time, the original Dragon King Hall here was the Imperial Bookstore. In front of the building, there is a stone platform that jumps over the lake, surrounded by railings, and a water pavilion is built next to it. Hanging on the plaque of Kangxi's imperial title "Autumn Moon in Pinghu", later generations frequently built stone pavilions on its left side.

After the founding of New China, after years of re-planning, reconstruction, expansion and new construction, a long and narrow lakeside garden has been formed here, with flowers and trees in the four seasons and rockery pavilions, which is more suitable for enjoying the moon, drinking tea and relaxing.

The autumn moon night in the West Lake has been recognized as a beautiful scenery since ancient times, full of poetry and painting. Pinghu has a towering autumn moon pavilion in Ling Bo, with windows near the water, a wide platform and a wide field of vision. In autumn night, you can see the bright moon in the sky, the lake is blue, the golden wind is cool, and the water and the moon are integrated. I wonder what night it will be. In fact, the beautiful scenery is not only autumn, but also moonlit night. In the Qing Dynasty, Luo had a couplet: "Wear it, it is winter in Xia Feng, and the shutter will meet the mountain before the month."

Although the scope of Pinghu Autumn Moon Scenic Area may be the smallest among the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, people can still visit and appreciate historical sites and cultural implications here. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Wang Huting was built here. In the Southern Song Dynasty, with the construction of the four sages of Gushan Royal Taoist Temple, the Moon Pavilion was built here. "Looking at the Lake" and "Looking at the Moon", these two "looks" have laid the groundwork for the site selection of Pinghu after the autumn moon. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Li Si eunuch Sun Long spent a lot of money to rebuild the old scene of the West Lake and carried out a large-scale renovation of Wang Huting.

Zhang Dai, a writer, recorded in Dream of the West Lake: "If you build more terraces and luxuries, you can enjoy the romantic scenery, and you can also set up operas every day. The Dragon King Hall will be built today. "

The first floor of Hutian, located on the west side of the scenic spot, was originally the remains of Luoyuan, a private villa of Hatong, a wealthy Jewish businessman and "adventurer" in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and later became the cradle of modern woodcut movement in China-the location of Bayi Art Club. Today, it has become the Xiling Painting and Calligraphy Institute, adding a bookish atmosphere to the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains.

Broken bridge and residual snow

Broken Bridge is located at the eastern end of Bai Causeway. Of all the bridges in the West Lake, she is the most famous. It is said that a broken bridge was built as early as the Tang Dynasty, and the word "broken bridge" is found in Zhang Hu's poem "On Hangzhou Gushan Temple".

There is a quip in Amin Wang Keyu's "Talking about Picking Vegetables in Xizi Lake": "The victory of the West Lake, Yang Lake is not as good as Yin Lake, Yin Lake is not as good as Moon Lake, and Moon Lake is not as good as Snow Lake ... How many people in the world can really lead the landscape!" Hangzhou, located in the south of the Yangtze River, has a short snow period every year, especially in heavy snow days. Once the silver makeup is wrapped, it will create a snow lake that is very different from the usual time and scenery.

There are several explanations for the broken bridge. The popular saying is that whenever Chu Qing came to the broken bridge after the snow and looked west and north, the terraced fields in Gushan and Geling were paved with jade, glittering and translucent, with a kind of beauty in Leng Yan.

Some people think that when it starts to snow, Bai Causeway is as white as a chain. Sunrise reflected that the broken bridge melted the snow on the bridge deck, revealing a trace of brown bridge deck, as if a long white chain was broken in the middle, hence the name "Canxue".

Liulang Wenying Park is located in the southeast corner of West Lake, covering an area of about 2 1 hectare. Her predecessor was Ju Jing Garden, the imperial garden of the Southern Song Dynasty, which started from Qingbomen in the old city of Hangzhou in the south, and reached Yongjinmen in the north, with the city wall in the east and the water surface of the West Lake in the west. In addition, it also includes several islands near the lakeshore, such as Liuzhou and Shui Xin Temple Foundation (predecessor of Zhou Xiaoying).

At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Jujing Garden became a "scattered landscape garden", and its southern area was selected as a cemetery by the Hui people who moved to Hangzhou with the Mongolian and Yuan fighters. Among them, the middle part of the land is barren, silted up into scattered swamp ponds, and the original magnificent temples such as Lingzhi Temple and Mingyingguan in the north also died with the landscape. By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, only the magnificent Liulang Bridge and Huaguang Pavilion were left. In the early Qing dynasty, it was a bleak scene. The first half of Zishan's Journey to Youth is about the scene where the grand occasion is no longer there. "The snake is flat, the fox is broken, and the road is completely barren. Swallows fly, peach blossoms are silent, and I have read many vicissitudes. " By 1949, there was only one scenic monument, a monument square, a stone pavilion and an old Shapu tree, an old house in Qianwang Memorial Hall and two ponds in front of the temple. Nearby residents simply call it Fenshan Pavilion.

Now, after nearly 40 years of continuous development and construction, the oriole in Liulang has evolved from the imperial garden enjoyed by emperors in those days into a paradise for ordinary people. She still takes the green willow color and graceful warbler singing as the keynote of the park landscape, and plants willow with weeping willows, lion willows, drunken willows, sand willows and other characteristics along the lake embankment and the main road of the garden road. In the main scenic spot in the middle of the park, Wenying Pavilion was opened, and a giant cage "Bird Paradise" was arranged not far from Wenying Pavilion, creating a beautiful atmosphere of fireworks, willows flying and warblers in March. In the east of Wenying Pavilion, there is a friendship garden scenic spot with lawns and dense forests, and some Japanese cherry blossoms have been introduced. On the north side of the lawn, there is a stone platform and a monument to "No War between Japan and China". On the west side of Wenying Pavilion, there is a large lawn that was built when Liuyang Wenying rebuilt. The grass color overlooks the green hills of the West Lake, and on the north side of the lawn is the Liuyang Wenying Monument inscribed by Emperor Kangxi, which was moved here. Tall arbor forests are planted on the south side, which form a vivid picture with rich layers and angles with lawns, Liu 'an and lakes and mountains.

The earlier Qianwang Memorial Hall in the north of the park was transformed into a courtyard scenic spot with the style and layout of private gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, and was named after the old name of "Jujing Garden". Gardens, pavilions, fake mountain spring pools, small bridges, flowing water, low walls and leaking windows, and exotic flowers and grasses all have their own places, which makes the whole park winding and secluded, unique.

The southeast of the park has been transformed into a place for mass entertainment activities, and an open-air stage has been built, which has become a good place for Hangzhou citizens and tourists from all directions to do morning exercises, take vacations and celebrate festivals. Every summer and autumn, it is also a "night garden" to cool off the heat. Song and dance, opera, movies and various flower shows, lantern festivals and folk performances are held irregularly, attracting people.

Huagang Fish Watching Park is located in the west of the southern section of Su Causeway, on a peninsula between Xili Lake and Hu Xiaonan. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yun Sheng, the chamberlain, built a private garden at the foot of Huajiashan, not far from here. Flowers and trees are scattered in the garden, water is diverted into the pool, and five-color fish are raised for viewing. It has gradually become a place frequented by tourists. It is called Luyuan and named Huagang, because it is close to Huajiashan. When the court painter created the group paintings of the Ten Scenes of the West Lake, he included them. In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1699), Emperor Michelle Ye visited the West Lake, wrote books to watch fish in Huagang as usual, and built a stone tablet beside the fish pond. Later, when Qianlong visited the West Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, another poem was engraved on the tablet. There is a cloud in the poem: "There are fish and flowers at the foot of Huajiashan.

Today, Watching Fish in Huagang is a big park covering more than 20 hectares. The whole park is divided into five scenic spots: Red Fish Pond, Peony Garden, Huagang, Big Lawn and Dense Forest.

Red fish pond is located in the south of the central part of the park, which is the center of the whole park. The bank of the pond twists and turns naturally, and the pond piles up soil to form an island. There is a curved bridge on the pond. Looking down against the fence, thousands of red fish with golden scales come and go in droves, splashing. The breeze blew, and the flowers and trees in Chi Pan fell in colors and floated on the water. What a touching picture of "fish with flowers", no one can feel the love of that squid.

At the western end of the red fish pond, there is a peony garden with a high hill and a peony pavilion at the top. Hundreds of peony plants were planted around the exhibition hall, which were divided into more than ten flower border blocks according to different varieties. Every year, around Grain Rain, the king's demeanor is displayed among the flowers, and the country is very beautiful and well-deserved. On the side of the path next to the Peony Pavilion, a Gu Mei tree was planted under the plum tree. This plum shadow pattern was paved with black and white pebbles on the road, which was called "plum shadow slope" by Ma Yifu, a modern scholar.

From the Peony Pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the east, south and north of the park. The trees in the east are swaying, and the lake wave dike marks are connected from a distance. In the south, the lush mountains of Nanping Mountain were "borrowed" into the park. Behind the dense forest, a bay of clear water lingers, arch bridges fly, and the harbor branches connect Xili Lake and Hu Xiaonan Lake, which makes the water features of the whole park more agile, with lush bamboo forests and noisy birds, revealing Shan Ye customs. The lawn in the north has a wide view, and the sparkling mountain shadow of Xili Lake is fascinating. There are bushes and trees on the lawn, which not only increase the level change of the edge line of the spatial forest, but also provide shade and rest place for tourists.

Leifeng sunset

Leifeng, located in front of Jingci Temple, is a remnant vein extending northward from Nanping Mountain. The lake is full of excitement and lush trees. Although it is small and exquisite, its reputation on the lake is one of the best, because there is the Leifeng Tower built by Wu Yueshi at the top of the mountain, which is the most beautiful and romantic tower among many ancient pagodas in the West Lake. Unfortunately, it fell more than 70 years ago, and even the name of the mountain was changed to Zhao Xi.

This famous mountain on the south bank of the West Lake is peninsula-shaped, surrounded by water on three sides, and once lived in the imperial garden of the Southern Song Dynasty. 1949 years later, a large number of ornamental trees such as Cinnamomum camphora, Liquidambar formosana and Elm were planted on the mountain, and the sunset shone on Lin Tao, and the scenery was still rich. Unfortunately, there is no ancient pagoda, and Leifeng sunset has become an absentee in the ten scenic spots of the West Lake. Leifeng pagoda has too many suffering experiences. His original name was Xiguan Brick Pagoda, also known as Huangfei Pagoda, which was built in the eighth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the pagoda was struck by lightning. After the restoration in the early Southern Song Dynasty, it was reduced to two levels and became a five-level pagoda. This is a pavilion tower with an eight-brick wood structure. The tower core is made of bricks, and the eaves, verandahs and railings are made of wood. On both sides of the inner wall of the tower, the stone carvings of Hua Yan Jing are embedded, and an underground palace is built under the tower to worship the golden cave Lohan. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the wooden eaves gallery of Leifeng Pagoda was repeatedly damaged and repaired. At that time, the painter Chen Qingbo and others painted a picture of Leifeng Sunset Red, and there was an imperial garden under the tower, which was fragrant. As the sun sets, the golden wheel rises, and the dusk scene on the lake is unparalleled. There are naturally good places to go in the Ten Scenes of West Lake. Unexpectedly, during the Xi period of the Ming Dynasty, pirates invaded Hangzhou, and it was suspected that there was an ambush in Leifeng Tower, which set fire to the wooden eaves gallery, leaving only the brick tower, the top of which was also destroyed, and the old trees were dancing. Someone wrote a poem, lamenting that "Leifeng Tower, with only the tower core, is still standing in the air and has defects." Wen Qixiang, a celebrity in Hangzhou in the late Ming Dynasty, once commented on him and the Bao Shu Pagoda on the other side of the lake: [There are two pagodas on the lake, Lei Feng is like an old woman, and gems are like beauty. This statement was called "yes" as soon as it was born. A book written during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, West Lake, praised Leifeng's sunset scene in this way: [The solitary tower is independent, the blue bricks are all red, the vines are pulling, the green is lovely, the sun shines in the west, and the pavilions and pavilions are resplendent with the mountains. If the golden mirror is opened first, fire beads will be attached. Although it is not too much to waste summer in Chicheng.

1 On the afternoon of September 25th, 924140, there was a loud noise on the south bank of the West Lake. [The old woman] suddenly [fell]. In an instant, the dust covered the sky and the birds flew in surprise. There are countless bricks on the top of Leifeng, and many people in Hangzhou come to watch the fun. Many people also took advantage of the chaos of the tower brick pile [Taobao], and some even made a windfall. It turned out that before the tower fell, it was very dangerous for the digger to destroy the remains of the tower brick. Because of folk rumors, the bricks of Leifeng Tower have the [divine power] to destroy evil spirits, so the diggers have been repeatedly banned, which eventually led to great disaster. In the diary of 19 18 on September 29, the romantic poet Xu Zhimo left us something dangerous before he died: [On the way, we visited the Leifeng Tower-the four brick columns in the tower have been dismantled into inverted cones, which is extremely dangerous.

More than 70 years have passed, and the Ten Scenes of the West Lake have been nurtured and developed because of the integration of history and culture into the lakes and mountains. The ten scenic spots of the West Lake are bound to coexist with historical sites, leisure places and lakes and mountains. Lei Feng's afterglow [absence] will still be supplemented by Lei Feng's afterglow.

Shuangfeng chayun scenic spot

The towering Tianmu Mountain moves eastward, and the other vein runs north and south at the intersection with the West Lake, forming Nanshan and Beishan in the West Lake Scenic Area. In ancient times, the southern peak and the northern peak were occupied by monks, and the stupa was built on the top of the mountain, far away from each other and far above the peak. Spring and autumn are beautiful, the fog is white, the spire is in the clouds, and it is hidden from time to time. From a distance, the momentum is extraordinary.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, these two peaks were listed as one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty changed the title to "Two Peaks Inserting Clouds" and built a viewing pavilion next to the Hongchun Bridge. At that time, the ancient pagoda of Shuangfeng Pagoda was destroyed for a long time, so that even the original connotation of this scene was once hard to know. Those "inserting clouds" are all empty talk. It is an expedient measure to set up a monument pavilion here. The floating picture is opposite to Cui Wei, and jade is floating in the air, which is fascinating. Try to look up at Phoenix Mountain, where the sky is high in the south and the smoke is low in the north. This is a poem by Wang Yan, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, which tells people: the landscape of the two peaks in the clouds.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, you could only see it from the Phoenix Mountain. However, Li of the Ming Dynasty advocated going to the third bridge in Su Causeway-Wangshan Bridge to see this scene. He wrote an inscription in the minister's tour map of the West Lake. "The Fog Stopping Map of Two Peaks" wrote: [The Dragon King Hall of the Third Bridge looks at the mountains in the west of the lake, which is quite successful. After the Qing Dynasty, there was no tower shadow at the top of the Twin Peaks, and the scenic spot moved to the lake. Although there was a pavilion in the north of Beijing near the Toona Bridge, visitors only saw the lush trees here, and even the shadow of the Twin Peaks could not be found. It is better to go boating on the lake. Therefore, Chen Can's poem "Twin Peaks in the Cloud" said:

【 North and South peaks are high in the sky, and the two peaks are not connected. The new rain comes late and it doesn't rain, so the four mountains lock at two o'clock. Later, Zhong Yulong also pointed out in "Talking about Hangzhou": [When it rains, the four mountains are overcast and the north and south peaks are high, so it is still exposed. This is a distant view of the lake. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was the bank of the Spring Bridge to find a monument. The scenery in the lake became the scenery on land. Although the place and way of viewing the Party have changed frequently since ancient times, the North-South Sandao Peak is a famous peak in Yaoshan Mountain of West Lake, but it has not changed so far. Nanfeng is near the West Lake, with a peak height of 257 meters. On the way to climb the mountain, the steep rocks are exposed and the cliffs are towering. Climbing to the top of the mountain and overlooking the east, the panoramic view of the West Lake is vivid, not painting, but better than painting. Beifeng, 3 14 above sea level, is located on Lingyin Temple Mountain. Climb up a thousand steps from the west side of the temple, around 36 bends, with clear mountains and rivers and overlapping trees along the way. The ancients had a poem praising: [It's raining all the way, and there are castles in the air]. On the Shandong side, there is the West Lake Bayi manned cableway, with a total length of more than 60%. It only takes six or seven minutes to go up and down the mountain.

The night clock in Nanping is perhaps the earliest of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Zeduan, a famous painter, painted the Night Clock Map of Nanping. Although this painting is far less famous in painting circles than his Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, it was recorded in Tianshui Iceberg Record in Ming Dynasty. Nanping Mountain spans the south bank of the West Lake. This mountain is only 100 meters high, but it stretches for more than 1000 meters. On the mountain, there are strange rocks and beautiful trees. On a sunny day, there are blue sky and white clouds all over the mountain, and the color is delicious. On a rainy and foggy day, clouds cover the fog, and the mountains seem to be dancing lightly, ethereal and ethereal. In the first year of the Later Zhou Dynasty (954), Qian Hongshu, the Lord of the State of Wu Yue, built a Buddhist temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain-Huiri Yongming Courtyard, which later became Jingci Temple, one of the two major Buddhist Dojo in the West Lake, alongside Lingyin Temple.

three pools mirroring the moon

Santan silver moon Island, also known as Zhou Xiaoying, together with Hu Xinting and Ruan Gongdun, is called the Three Islands on the Lake. Including the water surface, the whole island covers an area of about seven hectares. There are curved bridges connecting the north and the south, and bridges connecting the east and the west with earth dikes cross each other, dividing the water surface of the island into four parts, and the periphery of the water surface is a circular dike. From the air, the land on the island looks like a giant "field", showing the characteristics of an island in the lake and a lake in the island, and the water features are famous. It is unique among the ten scenic spots of the West Lake, and it is a classic of China Jiangnan Watertown Garden.

The predecessor of Santan silver moon Island is Shuifan Baoning Temple. There is a sentence in the poem "Send Monks to Baoning Temple" by Qin Guan, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty: "The West Lake is surrounded by dikes, and the pavilions are like lying. Baoning is in the best place, and the combination of water and light has no clue. The car dust does not come to the horse, and sometimes the sea and the moon depend on each other. " It can be seen that the island has enjoyed the moon for a long time.
