What's on West Lake Island in Hangzhou?

On the West Lake Island in Hangzhou, there is a "Tian"-shaped pattern of "there is an island in the lake and a lake in the island".

It is located in Zhou Xiaoying Island in the southwest of the West Lake and some waters in the south of the island, with an area of about 7.67 hectares, which is the most iconic landscape of Hangzhou West Lake. The three pagodas in the water and Zhou Xiaoying Island are the core elements of the landscape. The theme of appreciation is to observe the mutual reflection of the moon, pagoda and lake on the island under the mountain, which leads to meditation and sentiment.

Zhou Xiaoying Island was formed by digging a lake and piling up soil during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (16th century), showing a "field" pattern of "there is an island in the lake and a lake in the island", which is a classic of water town gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. The island is dotted with pavilions and traditional flowers and trees, forming a colorful landscape, which contrasts with the water and sky inside and outside the island and symbolizes Penglai Fairy Island in ancient China mythology.
