West Lake Mountain Story

According to the county records of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "... there are three peaks, in which there is a huge lake, which is unfathomable and will not dry up in drought ..." At the turn of spring and summer, the weather is fine, and in the morning, among the three mountains, white fog fills the air and people are misty, like a mirage. In the Ming dynasty, there were poems praising the day;

The dangerous peak is separated from the golden dragon, and it is locked in the daytime. Soak in green and wet, fly thousands of strands, brew cold and sprinkle lightly for two or three times. There are faint high and low trees in front of the rock, and villages far and near outside the bamboo. I want to ask Wang Wei to draw with crayons and draw a picture with Xuan Yin.

This poem vividly depicts the scene of "misty rain", just like a delicate and beautiful ink painting.

There are poems written by Zhou Zhongxin, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, and Xu Ri, a county magistrate, on the West Lake Mountain. There is Baogong Temple on the mountain, which was built in Yuan Dynasty. Dignitaries and ordinary people come to visit, and they often climb mountains to pray. After several times of destruction, it was rebuilt and the former site was permanently preserved. /kloc-rebuilt in 0/2 years, the temple has taken on a new look. There are many human landscapes in the foothills, such as Xianren Stone, Tiger Cave, Biejia Temple (built to commemorate the loyal minister Hou in Jin Dynasty) and Heritage Pavilion (poems by scholars Zhu and Yang Wan Li in Southern Song Dynasty).
