Brief introduction of autumn moon in Pinghu, Hangzhou West Lake

Autumn Moon in Pinghu is one of the "Ten Scenes of West Lake" in the Southern Song Dynasty. Located in the lakeside area at the southeast corner of Gushan Mountain, south of the western end of Bai Causeway. It is one of the best places to enjoy the panoramic view of the West Lake waters from Hubei Lake.

The landscape of "Autumn Moon in Pinghu" means that whenever the air is crisp in clear autumn and autumn, the surface of the West Lake is as calm as a mirror, the moon is in the sky, and the moonlight and the lake complement each other, which is quite a sense of "one lake is full of autumn", hence the name "Autumn Moon in Pinghu".

There are no fixed scenic spots in Pinghu in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is best to go boating on the lake to browse the autumn moon. In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi, he visited the West Lake and wrote the inscription "Autumn Moon in Pinghu". Since then, the scenic spots have been fixed. Today's Pinghu Qiuyue Scenic Area is located at the western end of Bai Causeway, with its back against the isolated mountain and facing the outer lake.

Since its establishment, "Autumn Moon in Pinghu" has been characterized by lotus flowers in the lake, Haitang in Xifu, osmanthus trees on the shore and weeping willows. Every autumn, the seaside will present a lush vegetation landscape.

The reason why Pinghu Qiuyue is famous:

Located in the subtropical North Park of Hangzhou. Judging from the running laws of the earth and the sun, there are four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Judging from the relationship between the earth and the moon, the hook and string circles are indeed regular. In autumn, the moon is closer to the northern hemisphere of the earth. Judging from the geographical location of Hangzhou, the included angle of the moon will not exceed 60 degrees. Moonlight is the reflection of the sun, soft and cool, which produces a feeling of emptiness and nothingness.

The weather in autumn in Hangzhou is mainly sunny. At night, the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius, the relative humidity is 80%, and the wind speed is three to four meters per second. There are few floating dust impurities in the atmosphere, the moonlight penetration rate is particularly high, the clouds are light and the wind is clear, the sky is crisp and the climate is particularly pleasant.

So the moon you see is especially big, round and bright, clear and bright, so there are sayings that "the moon is good at four o'clock, and the autumn color is the best" and "the moon is particularly bright in the Mid-Autumn Festival".
