A brief introduction to the scenery of Hangzhou West Lake (1)

Yunxi Zhujing Scenic Area

Wu Yunqi, located at the southern foot of Wuyun Mountain, is a wooded mountain dock landscape, surrounded by bamboo forests and gurgling streams, which is extremely cool. The 1-kilometer-long Yun Qi Bamboo Trail is surrounded by green bamboos, winding and deep. The gurgling stream flows down the small runoff, and charming and beautiful birds are singing in the forest. The whole environment is quiet and cool. Compared with downtown, it makes people feel just right and relaxed.

Manguilong language

Visit the West Lake in autumn, enjoy the moon during the day and at night. Nanshan Manjue Dragon is the most prosperous place to enjoy Guangxi. Osmanthus fragrans is the city flower of Hangzhou. Osmanthus fragrans has been planted in the West Lake since the Tang Dynasty. In the early poems of the West Lake, laurel trees were often used as poems, and temples in Lingyin and Tianzhu areas of the North Mountain of the West Lake were planted. It was after the Ming Dynasty that Osmanthus fragrans was enjoyed in autumn. Manjuelong, also known as Manjia Lane, is a valley at the southern foot of Nanfeng. During the reign of Wu Yueshi, there were many small Buddhist temples here, including a Yuanxing Temple, which was later changed to Manjue Temple. This land was named after a temple, and the flowers were planted by monks, which gradually became a grand view.

Osmanthus fragrans, scientific name "Osmanthus fragrans", is a small evergreen tree, which likes humidity. Manjuelong is surrounded by two mountains, with lush trees and abundant underground water, and the environment is suitable for osmanthus growth. The mountain people here take planting osmanthus and selling flowers as their main sources of income, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and finally created this "golden millet world". Now every household is planting sweet-scented osmanthus, in front of and behind the house, outside the village, all over the hillside, on both sides of the road, in clusters, layer by layer, everywhere. Every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are several golden winds and cool rains, and the autumn sun returns, and the osmanthus trees are full, stretching for ten miles and penetrating the heart, just as Zhang Xie 'ao's seven-character quatrain "Pin Gui" in the Qing Dynasty says: "The West Lake is clear in August, where is it fragrant? There are golden millet beside Manjue Dragon, and the wind blows Shan Ye in autumn. " Osmanthus fragrans includes Jingui, Yin Gui, Dangui and Sijigui. In bloom, small flowers bloom like thick dew, often falling with the wind, as dense as raindrops, bathed in "rain", fragrant among osmanthus trees, which has a special interest. After "Manguilong Rain" was shortlisted for the Ten Scenes of the New West Lake, Manjuelong Village, with the support of relevant departments, held the West Lake Golden Autumn Osmanthus Festival in September and 10 every year. In the Nanshan area, traffic and water are blocked, and the autumn tour of the West Lake adds another big affair.

Hupao Spring

The scenery of the West Lake is beautiful, and the lakes and mountains are interlocking. The closely connected "emissary" is the lush spring in Yunxi Mountain in Sannan. Tiger Running Spring, located at the foot of Daci Mountain, is the best spring in the West Lake. The name of Tiger Running Spring originated from Buddhist myths and legends. In fact, it is a secular reflection of the development, protection, utilization and even preservation of the famous spring of West Lake in history, which is closely related to the rise and fall of Buddhism, Taoism and temples.

Hupao Spring is a fissure spring formed by groundwater flowing through joints and crevices of rocks. It seeps out of seasonal sandstone and can't even dissolve ordinary acid. Its water quality is pure, the total salinity is low, and the radioactive rare element radon content is high. It is a high-quality natural drinking mineral water suitable for drinking and has considerable medical and health care functions. Therefore, it is called "West Lake" together with Longjing Tea.

Long Wen Jing cha

Longjing, Yi Long Red Yi Long Autumn, is located in Fengling Mountain in the southwest of West Lake. Longjing Temple was built here in the Five Dynasties, and Longjing became a tourist attraction in the Northern Song Dynasty. Su Dongpo, a poet, often recites poems here, and once praised the poem "People say that the mountains are good and the water is good, and there are thousands of difficulties and dangers under the Jiaolong Lake". According to legend, Longjing is connected with the sea, so it is named because there are dragons in the sea. And the water in Longjing is also very strange. When stirring, there will be a watershed on the water surface, swinging like a hairspring, and then slowly disappearing. Longjing spring is clear and sweet, and it is also called the three famous springs of West Lake with Tiger Run and Yuquan. Longjing tea is more famous. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty came here to pick and grow tea, and the old Longjing still has the remains of "eighteen imperial teas". Ganlong also inscribed the five characters "the best lakes and mountains" as "Eight Scenes of Longjing", passing through Xiting, Di Xin Pool, Yiyun, Fengling, Fiona Fang Temple, Long Hongjian, Shenyun Stone and Cuifeng Pavilion. Ten Scenes of the New West Lake rated it as a new scenic spot of "Longjing Tea Question".

nine creeks in misty forest

Jiuxi, commonly known as "Jiuxi Eighteen Rivers". Located in the mountains to the west of the West Lake, under the peak of a cockscomb. Longjing in the north and Qiantang River in the south. Originated at the foot of Yang Meiling Mountain in Wengjiashan, it flows into Qianjiang River through Wanqing, Hongfa, Tangjia, Xiaokang, Shi Fo, Baizhang, Yun Qi, Qingtou and Fangjiajiu streams.

Eighteen streams refer to many streams and flowing springs. Jiuxi and Eighteen met in front of Xixi Restaurant at the foot of Bajiao Mountain. Along the way, the mountains are stacked, the tea gardens are scattered, the peaks are flowing, the running water is pure, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant in the mountains. It's delicious on sunny days and foggy on cloudy days. Zhang Lizan, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, said, "The misty clouds in the spring mountains are low, and the valley struggles for nine streams." Yu Yue, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem after a tour, saying, "Mountains overlap, roads are winding, Tintin caves and springs, and trees fall high." They are all telling the infinite scenery of "Jiuxi Smoke Tree". There are new scenic spots such as Linhai Pavilion, Wangjiang Pavilion, Xixi Xi Zhong and Artificial Waterfall.

Wushan tianfeng

Mountain is the tail of Nanshan in West Lake, which extends all the way to downtown Hangzhou. The Spring and Autumn Period is the southern boundary of the State of Wu, which consists of dozens of hills such as Ziyang, Yunju, Jindi, Qingping, Baolian, Qibao, Stone Buddha, Bao Yue, Camel and Emei, and is called Wu Shan. Wu Shan is not high, but because it is inserted into the urban area, overlooking the streets and lanes in the east, north and northwest, and bordering the Qiantang River and Pingchou on both sides of the strait in the south, Wu Shan still has a feeling of soaring, and can win the victory of the rivers, mountains, lakes and cities in Hangzhou.

Wushan Mountain is not high and has a unique theme. There are abundant forests and mountains extending in all directions. In the Southern Song Dynasty, more and more temples were built. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, commercial shops swarmed in, temples were everywhere, and pilgrims and tourists jostled each other. This is a lively scene. The City God Temple is the largest temple in Wu Shan, which looks like a palace building and its base address can be found. The temple is empty, with towering ancient trees, strict weather and lush camphor trees. In people's minds, the city god temple in those days could not be taken lightly, so that even the name of the mountain was called Huang Chengshan because of the temple.

Ruandu huanbi scenic spot

There are three artificial islands in the West Lake: Zhou Xiaoying (Three Ponds Reflecting the Moon), Huxinting (Beitaji) and Ruan Gongdun. Ruan Gongdun was dredged by Ruan Yuan, the governor of Zhejiang Province, in the fifth year of Jiaqing (1800) and became an island, so it was later called Ruan Gongdun. Because of its soft soil and low terrain, it is often submerged by lake water, commonly known as soft beach. After Ruan Gongdun became an island, miscellaneous trees were lush, overgrown with weeds and innocent.

198 1 year, Huanbi Villa was built on the island. This is a manor garden that imitates the pattern of private villas in the south of the Yangtze River. Its name is Huanbi, which tells people that she has taken advantage of the unique advantages of scenery, lakes and mountains. The village is bigger than the forest, swaying with the wind and quite antique. The manor on the island is surrounded by hedges, and there are huts and bamboo pavilions in the park, and the small buildings are surrounded by blue clouds and water houses, which are light and dexterous. There are Cinnamomum camphora, Pterocarya stenoptera, Cinnamomum cassia, Lagerstroemia indica, Xiuzhu, Banana, Ivy, etc. It is quiet and simple. Near the water on the island, don't set up a memorial pavilion to remember Ruan Yuntai (Ruan Yuan Yuntai) who managed the lake and built the West Lake.

The interior furnishings of the buildings around Bizhuang are simple and elegant. During the day, tourists by boat can drink tea and drinks here; In the evening, the host "Mr. W" led a group of "domestic servants" and "maids" to engage in antique entertainment with tourists dressed in classical costumes.

Huanglong Cui Tu

At the northern foot of Qixialing in the north of the West Lake, in the depths of Maolin Bamboo Cultivation, there is a Huanglong Cave historic site, which is quite blessed by Taoism. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, Huanglong Cave has enjoyed a high reputation and is one of the five dragon gods on the lake. Among the 24 scenic spots in Hangzhou, there is a scene of "Huangshan Gathering Cuisine", which means 1985, Huanglong Cave, which combines religious and cultural connotations with temple gardens, was built into an antique amusement park and was selected as one of the top ten scenic spots in the new West Lake.

There is a long and winding path between the gate and the second gate of Huanglong Cave. If you look down from the air, it looks like an old tree along the road in Youlong, with flowers and plants clearing the pool and low walls leaking windows, and the scenery can be appreciated. It is called "guide" in the composition of temple gardens, just like a prelude, which plays a role in changing from vulgarity to purity, adjusting mentality and gradually gaining better scenery for tourists.

According to the ups and downs of the mountain and terrain, the rockery in Huanglong Cave is built with mud yellow sandstone blocks, or isolated peaks are shaped like boulders or stacked into peaks. Looking from a distance, the stone peaks are like forests, and the mountains are green; It is full of twists and turns, transparent and ethereal, majestic and elegant. This is quite different from the exquisite and typical style of Suzhou garden rockery, which shows the advantages and charm of the gardening art of Shanlin Temple, which is close to nature, integrated with nature, unique and without leaving traces.

Huanglong Cave has a long history of bamboo scenery and a unique bamboo trail. The vigorous and graceful bamboo is more than ten meters high, and the forest meets the sea; Small white bamboo is as short as twenty or thirty centimeters, which is lovely; Purple bamboo with thin and black stems is said to have been introduced from Putuo Mountain earlier. Luohan bamboo, penholder bamboo and jade bamboo inlaid with gold are dotted in rockeries, gardens and other places, which have a cool charm. The most worth seeing is the bamboo of the square bamboo. "The body is like a cut, but the force is equivalent to a column, which is also different." There are many bamboos and bamboo shoots. Every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, light rain begins and warm wind blows on the face. Here, on the wall, along the road, under the mountain and behind the court, bamboo shoots are springing up everywhere, and some are turning over stones, which is unstoppable; Some are clustered in twos and threes, and the competition is fierce. The quiet Huanglong Cave Garden is full of vitality.

Jade emperor flying clouds

Yuhuang Mountain is located between the West Lake and Qiantang River, with an altitude of 239 meters. The sky is abrupt, and the blue sky and white clouds set off, making this mountain look magnificent. Whenever there is a storm, I stand on the top of the mountain and climb the Yunting Pavilion, but I hear the sound of the wind blowing. Sometimes the clouds come and fly away. Mountains and lakes are vast, and rivers are vast and tidal. This scene is called [Jade Emperor Flying Clouds]: It was selected as one of the ten scenic spots of the new West Lake because of its grandeur and lofty height. Yuhuang Mountain is located between the West Lake and Qiantang River, with an altitude of 239 meters. The sky is abrupt, and the blue sky and white clouds set off, making this mountain look magnificent.

Bao Liu Shi Xia

In the clouds on three sides of the West Lake, Geling and Baoshishan form their own schools with unique scenery. Their mountains are all composed of Jurassic tuff, and the most common one is ignimbrite. The rocks here are ochre red, and there are many shiny red pebbles in the rock mass. Whenever the sun shines, the mountains are full of Wei Fen, especially when the sunrise or sunset is red, which is particularly dazzling, as if there are countless gems shining. Baoshishan got its name from this.

The gem is at the top of Shandong, and the Bao Shu Tower stands tall and beautiful. Well, that slim, towering face matches the nickname of Hao [Beauty]. Born in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, this [beauty] was originally a nine-level brick-wood structure. Until the reconstruction in Ming Dynasty, it still maintained this structure with little difference from Pagoda of Six Harmonies and Leifeng Pagoda. The current solid brick style was copied from the Qing Dynasty when it was rebuilt in 1933. Although it can't be boarded, it has become a remarkable landmark of the West Lake with its beautiful appearance and prominent position.

Brief introduction of Hangzhou West Lake scenery

Sudi Xiao Chun

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.

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.

Quyuan fenghe

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 lotus flower on the lake in front of a small courtyard.

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.

By the Light of the Silvery Moon

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.

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.

Today's broken bridge is an arched single-hole circular stone bridge rebuilt in 192 1 year. It is 8.8 meters long and 8.6 meters wide, and the clear distance of a single hole is 6. 1 meter. It was overhauled years ago, but its simple and elegant style remained basically unchanged. On the east side of the bridge, there is a tablet pavilion with Kangxi imperial theme, and a water pavilion is built on the side of the pavilion. The inscription "Clouds in the Water", green tile bamboo columns and cornices, together with the bridge pavilion, constitute a classical picture in the northeast corner of the West Lake.

Li, a painter in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in "Sleeping Tour Map of West Lake: Broken Bridge in Spring": "I went to the lake and watched my soul break the bridge and died. It is also said that, as far as we know, the lake is like a tree in the morning and the moon is in Lu. Covered with mountains and rivers, there is a huge immersion there, which is not as good as it is. " From this point of view, if you look at the broken bridge, you can get the essence of lakes and mountains, and you can get the remnant snow alone!

Liulang Wenying

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 warblers as the keynote of the park landscape, and plants characteristic willows such as weeping willows, lion willows, drunken willows and sand willows 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. There are various forms of songs and dances, operas and movies, and various flower exhibitions and lantern festivals are held irregularly, attracting people.

Huagang fish watching

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 in the park are sparse, water is diverted into the pool, and five-color fish are raised for viewing, which has gradually become a frequent destination for tourists. It is said that Luyuan is named Huagang because it is close to Huajiashan. The court painter included it when he created the ten scenes of the West Lake. 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.

Leifeng shines in the evening.

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.

Bimodal cloud insertion

The towering Tianmu Mountain faces east, and the other vein meets the West Lake, which is divided into north and south, forming Nanshan and Beishan in the West Lake Scenic Area. Among them, Nanfeng and Beifeng were inhabited by monks in ancient times, and a stupa was built on the top of the mountain, which was far opposite and much higher than the peaks. 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 Hongchun Bridge. At that time, the ancient pagoda of Shuangfeng was destroyed for a long time, so that even the original connotation of this scene once made it difficult to know that those "clouds" were 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.

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 a painting, but a 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.

Nanwan Pingzhong

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, with a height of only 1000 meters, and the mountain extends over1000 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.

Another famous Buddhist temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain was built in the fifth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (1972). This used to be the base camp of Tiantai Sect of Buddhism. Jingci Temple, Xingjiao Temple and nearby small and medium-sized temples have formed another Buddhist temple community on the lake after Lingyin and Tianzhu, with morning bells and drums, burning Buddha's names and cigarette candles. Since then, Nanping Mountain has added the charm of another name,' Foguang Mountain', which has taken shape. The mountains around Nanping Mountain are made of limestone and porous, so the rock walls of the peaks stand like barriers. Whenever the bell of the Buddhist temple rings at night, the oscillation frequency of the bell spreads to the mountains, and rocks and caves are forced to move by it, which accelerates the vibration of sound waves, and the amplitude increases sharply, forming * * * vibration. The rocks and caves then produce a loudspeaker effect, which enhances the sound of * * *. At the same time, the bell flew over the West Lake at the same frequency, reached the other side of the West Lake, and met Geling, which was composed of igneous rocks on the other side, with constant echoes.

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. Seen from the air, the land on the island looks like a giant "field", which shows that there are islands in the lake and lakes in the island. The waterscape is unique among the ten scenic spots of the West Lake, and it is a classic of water town gardens in the south of the Yangtze River in China. In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1607), Qiantang County ordered Nie Xintang to take the silt from the lake and build a dam around the island, which initially became a lake in the lake as a place for release. Later generations built three small bottle-shaped stone pagodas in the south lake of the island, which were called "three pools". In the early Qing dynasty, there were curved bridges and halls on the island, and hibiscus was planted around the inner lake. After Peng Yulin, a retired general in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, built a villa here, Zhou Xiaoying began to take shape.

The three beaches in silver moon are rich in landscape layers, diverse in space and unique in architectural layout. Landing from the north pier of the island, passing through two buildings such as the Pantheon, that is, stepping into the Jiuqu Pingqiao, there are four pavilions with different shapes on the bridge: Wang Kaiting, Pavilion, Kangxi Imperial Monument Pavilion and Me and Ai, which make people stop and go, rest their feet, laugh or take pictures, linger and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

To the east of Jiuqu Bridge, there is a short wall of white powder across the water. The two ends of the wall are not connected and shaped like a screen. However, there are four leaky windows on the powder wall, which are decorated with exquisite flowers. The space inside and outside the wall is separated and infiltrated with each other. Outside the wall, tourists are bustling, but inside the wall, it is elegant and quiet, and it is very different from each other at close range.
