West Lake






In my hometown,Zhe Jiang ,The most famous place of interests is surely the West Lake .It lies in Hangzhou City in northern Zhe jiang Province. Its famous scenic spots comprise Su Causeway, and Bai Causeway, which have partitioned the Lake into inner, outer and back lakes, The Solitary Hill, Small Fairy Island, Mid-lake Pavilion, mount after a provincial governor Ruangong,etc. In combination with the surrounding hills and streams, they make up the unique and beautiful scenery of West Lake.
The scenic zone is shrouded in trees and flowers and is dotted with myriad of halls, towers, terraces, pavilions, pagodas, grottoes and temples, which were barely visible under the dense foliage of surrounding woods. The lake is embraced by many hills covered with lush forests, grotesque rocks, gullies and intriguing streams. There is a Spring Dawn at Su Causeway.When Spring comes with crimson peach blossoms and green willows; the scenery is really charming. Strolling along the boulevard, one feels as if the West Lake were wakening in dawn mist. Young willows were ethereal, spring breeze so caressing, and birds were chirping in sky.
Another scenery is called the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon.It is one of the Lake's three islands. Buildings on the island include Temple of Outstanding Men, Bridge with 9 Twists, Room of Ushering In Greenness, Pavilion of Wood Fragrance, and Hall of Flowers and Birds. By the side of the island, stand majestically three stone pagodas over the gleaming and rippling lake. There are two-meter high pagodas sit each on a circular stone .A bridge links the southern and northern parts of the island. Pavilions, terraces, rockers and flower gardens scattered around the place. Here blossoms vary with the seasons: magnolia, lilac in Spring; crape myrtle, lotus flower, water lily in summer; chrysanthemum in autumn, and winter sweet in winter.
If you are a person who likes travelling,West Lake is a good place deserves visiting!

Thanks, Bonnie, for the wonderfully detailed description of Hangzhou. I want to visit there as well! How long does it take to go there? How do I get there? Those sorts of details would make a travelogue more informative.
