We paddled our boat on the West Lake. The water in West Lake looks really shallow, so shallow that the oars can almost touch the bottom of the lake, but definitely not; The water in West Lake is so clear that you can see the emerald green water plants at the bottom of the lake, and the fish swim freely around.

The West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with clear blue waves and excellent natural conditions. There are many strange peaks on the mountains around the lake. Look, those pair of peaks soar into the clouds, like axes and knives cutting from the foot of the mountain to the top. The clouds and mist at the top of the mountain are shrouded, as if we have arrived in a fairyland. Looking down, it's really frightening. This is the famous "You Feng Tiao Yun" among the Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake!

However, some mountains are very gentle, like graceful young girls, with dense bamboo forests and clear springs among them.

There are also some famous ancient temples and pagodas on the mountain. Climbing to the top of the mountain, the four photo rooms offer a panoramic view of the wonders of the inner and outer lakes.

And there are islands in the lake, and Xiaoyingzhou (Three Pools Reflecting the Moon) with lakes in the islands is a great place to enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains. From here, you can overlook the mountains of West Lake and see their expressions under various climatic conditions.

There are many famous scenic spots and historical sites around West Lake, such as Lingyin Temple, Huanglong Cave, Yanxia Cave, and Fanghe Pavilion. In history, famous poets Su Shi and Bai Juyi both served as officials in Hangzhou. They are very fond of the scenery of West Lake and have built the picturesque Su Causeway and Bai Causeway shores, as well as the tomb of Yue Fei, who was fortunate enough to bury loyal bones in the green mountains, and the tomb of the late Qing democratic revolutionary Qiu Jin.

All of these have added countless charm to the scenery of West Lake.
