Tiger-dug Spring (in Hangzhou)

Tiger running spring is a spring source landscape with the theme of "spring", including watching spring, listening to spring, tasting spring and testing spring. It is also a cultural landscape, showing the legendary stories of Master Wukong, Jigong and Hongyi. It is located in Dinghui Temple in Dacishan, south of West Lake. According to folklore, the master of sexual emptiness in the Tang Dynasty visited this mountain, which had beautiful scenery but no water, so he decided to go elsewhere. Suddenly, a man of God told him that two tigers were coming to dig springs. The next day, two tigers came out of the mountain, mellow, pure and barren. Since then, "Longjing Tea Tiger Running Spring" has been called "West Lake Double Unique". There is a famous sentence in Su Song Dongpo's poem about the tiger rushing to the spring: "Taoist priests do not hesitate to step on the water, borrow it and enjoy it freely". After a comprehensive transformation, Hu Run restored Jigong Pagoda and Luohan Hall, and created lifelike "Dream Tiger" and relief of Jigong legend.

Lingyin-Feilaifeng

When you travel to Hangzhou, you can see the West Lake and Lingyin. Lingyin is located next to Feilai Peak in the west of the West Lake, not far from the West Lake, which can be described as "a must".

According to legend, Huili, an Indian monk, came to Hangzhou in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is said that Huili, an Indian monk, came to Hangzhou more than 600 years ago. When he saw the Qifeng here, he thought it was a "hidden fairy", so he built a temple here and named it Lingyin. There is a cold spring pavilion outside the Tianwang Hall of Lingyin Temple. It is said that when Su Dongpo was a satrap in Hangzhou, he often ate and wrote poems in Lengquange. The peaks in Lingyin area are grotesque and the scenery is absolutely different. Huili, an Indian monk, said, "This is the small ridge of jiusan, the transit of Zhu Guoling. Why did you fly here? " Therefore, it is called "Feilaifeng".

Feilaifeng is a rare artistic treasure in ancient grottoes in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be compared with Dazu stone carvings in Chongqing. Su Dongpo once wrote the poem "Xi Mountain is everywhere, and I love Lingyin Feilaifeng best".

1993, the newly opened "China Grottoes Art Collection Garden" in Lingyin Scenic Area has made use of the mountains of Feilaifeng to miniaturize the famous grotto art classic statues in China (such as Leshan Giant Buddha and Longmen Grottoes), which is worth seeing.

Liuhe pagoda

It is located on the Yue Lun Mountain near the Qiantang River, which was built by King wuyue in the Northern Song Dynasty for Qiantang River Town. The tower, with seven sides and eight floors, is 59.89 meters high and magnificent. Climb the tower and overlook the Qiantang River. Now, a new China ancient pagoda garden has been built next to Pagoda of Six Harmonies.

Pagoda of Six Harmonies walked up the hill from the north side behind him, crossed the tower garden, and came to the terrace of the wooden tower in Imitation Ying County. Looking back, Pagoda of Six Harmonies and Qiantang River Bridge are the most satisfying shooting spots.

three pools mirroring the moon

Also known as "Zhou Xiaoying", it is the one with the largest area, the richest landscape and the highest popularity among the three islands of West Lake. Known as "the first scene of the West Lake", it is a masterpiece of the art of Shuiyuan in Jiangnan Water Town. "There is an island in the lake, and there is a lake in the island" is the biggest feature here.

Zhou Xiaoying is shaped like a field. The outer circle and the inner cross are connected by an island bridge, and pavilions are dotted in the middle. The interior is naturally divided into four lakes by the island bridge, and the artistic wall of "bamboo path leading to a secluded place" in the central oasis is full of poetry and painting. In front of the "My Soul Companion Pavilion" at the southern end of the island, you can enjoy the scenery of the three pools and the moon. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, candles are placed in the tower, and the light shines like 15 little moons. At this time, moonlight, lights and lake light complement each other, and the night scene is very charming.

Longjing tea scenic spot

A quiet place to enjoy tea with the theme of "tea" is on the Phoenix Ridge in the west of West Lake. The real name is Long Hong, also known as Long Qiu, and the well is named Spring. According to legend, it was discovered during the Red Wu Period of the Three Kingdoms. Spring water comes from rocks and is always available. This water tastes sweet. Take a small stick and gently stir the well water. The water surface presents a peristalsis watershed, which is quite interesting.

Longjing village, west of Longjing, is surrounded by mountains and produces tea. It is called West Lake Longjing Tea, which is famous for its "four wonders" of green color, strong fragrance, mellow taste and beautiful shape. Yu Ji's tea poems in Yuan Dynasty include "Cook golden buds, don't take Grain Rain. With two or three sons, I can't bear to wash my throat. "

The real Longjing local tea production is very small, and most of them are exported abroad. Therefore, the "sky-high" tea sold in Longjing Village does not look "authentic", but was actually bought in a department store in Hangzhou.

There are six bridges on the dike, namely Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Dike, Dongpu and Guohong, which are simple and beautiful.

The beauty of Su Causeway lies not only in its passing through the beautiful West Lake, but also in the graceful camphor trees and other plants growing on the embankment. It is a long embankment that is evergreen all the year round. Especially in spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom, and trees grow new leaves, which is a vibrant scene. Coupled with the spring breeze and happiness, it is refreshing.

Broken bridge and residual snow

The bridge between the White Snake and Xu Xian, a beautiful fairy tale, is located at the beginning of Bai Causeway. The name "Broken Bridge" comes from the Tang Dynasty. There are doors and eaves on ancient bridges. When it snows, the snow in the middle section is on the eaves at the door, and only the two ends of the bridge are covered with snow. Seen from a distance, this bridge seems to be broken, so it is called "broken bridge".

Pavilions and pavilions on the bridge, facing Lixi Lake, are opposite the Baoshi Mountain and Baoshu Tower on the other side of the lake. The mountains, towers, lakes, pavilions, bridges, peaches and willows by the lake constitute picturesque scenery, which is very charming. Broken bridge is the only way to lonely mountain. Whenever it snows, people go to the broken bridge to enjoy the snow scene of the West Lake. The lonely mountain and Lixihu Lake are wrapped in silver, which is particularly touching, because it is called "Broken Bridge and Broken Snow".
