Although the lonely mountain is called a mountain, it is actually an island in the lake and the largest island in the West Lake. Plum blossoms in Gushan have been famous all over the world since the Song Dynasty, because Lin Bu, a famous generation, lived in seclusion on the island, never married, and indulged in the life of growing plums and raising cranes all day long, so now the crane pavilion on the island comes from this; Crane Pavilion is also the starting point of Gulan Meilin, extending to Xiling Bridge.

In early spring, plum blossoms are in full bloom on the lakeside, and Xixi, Gushan and Lingfeng are also called the "three beautiful scenery" of the West Lake. Xixi Wetland is mainly planted with "green sepal plum" (there are also blindly Chinese medicines), which was called Xixi plum in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is the best among plums. The channel of Xixi is narrow and shallow, so it is difficult for larger ships to pass. So only the boat carries the guests into Xixi. There are reeds on both sides of the river, surrounded by plum and bamboo in the village, fishermen cast nets, and the boatswain sings late, which is an idyllic scenery. For most people, Xixi is a place where dreams can be found and a pure urban land where both body and mind can be liberated. Even if you do nothing but sit by the boat, you will feel as calm as a lake at the moment, and when you come back, you will find that your heart has somehow stayed in the clear water of Xixi.

4. Prunus mume

The plum blossom in the lonely mountain (the picture of the lonely mountain) was very famous as early as the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi said in one of his poems: "I was bored in Yuhang for three years and was drunk by plum blossoms several times." Wuxiang Temple is as snowy as snow, and Gushan Garden is as beautiful as makeup. Lin Hejing, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, chose Gushan as his seclusion place. It is isolated from the West Lake, surrounded by beautiful lakes and blue waves, as well as towering ancient trees. It is really an excellent environment for self-cultivation. Mei's wife, He Zi, has lived in Gushan for 20 years and planted more than 300 plum blossoms. Needless to say, there is still a plum blossom living behind her.

In recent years, people have replanted precious plum products in Gushan, planting red plum, Bai Mei, purple plum, green sepal plum and Yuanyang plum. The land on the island is humid, sunny and well ventilated, which provides a superior natural environment for the growth of plum trees. It is not entirely because of the story of Lin Hejing's wife, Crane, that she visited and enjoyed the plum blossoms in the lonely mountain. The beauty of a lonely mountain is better than lakes and mountains; The meaning of isolated mountain is better than cultural origin. The scenery without culture is pale and powerless, but the lonely mountain has accumulated the essence of history and culture, such as plum, noble and quiet.
