West Lake
The West Lake lies on the beautiful and fertile shores of the East China Sea, offering views that have enchanted travelers for centuries. It is divided into five sections by three causeways. There are numerous temples, pagodas, gardens, and artificial islands within the famous freshwater lake.
Three Pools Mirroring the Moon
These three stone pagodas were first built during the Song Dynasty, formed the West Lake’s attractive scene, known as “one moon in the sky, three reflections on the lake”.
Su Causeway
This 2.8 kilometre-long causeway runs south to north across the Lake, lined with trees and flowering plants. An early morning stroll among the peach blossoms and green willow trees during spring is a worthwhile experience.
