Gushan is located between the inner lake and outer lake of West Lake. It is the largest island in the West Lake, 38 meters high. Here the blue waves linger and the mountains are lush with flowers and trees. Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty both built palaces and imperial gardens here, occupying most of the Gushan. In 1927, it was renamed Zhongshan Park in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. On the cliff directly north of Gushan, there are two large vermilion characters "Gushan" engraved on it. The characters are 1.5 meters high and in regular script. They were written by people of the Southern Song Dynasty. Gushan, although the mountain is not high, is the best place to enjoy the scenery of West Lake. There is an exquisite small garden in the garden called "West Lake World View". People in the garden feel as if they are at the bottom of a deep valley, achieving the artistic effect of "seeing the big in the small". Among them, streams, ponds, flowers, trees, pavilions, bridges, etc. are arranged in a dense and orderly manner.
The scenery of Gushan has been famous as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, there was Gushan Temple. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the West Taiyi Palace and the Four Saints Yanxiang Temple were built. In the Qing Dynasty, a palace was built here. Kangxi and Qianlong both stayed here during their southern tours. During the Yongzheng period (1727), it was renamed Shengyin Temple, and together with Lingyin, Zhaoqing and Jingci Temples, it was known as the Four Jungles of the West Lake. Gushan is not only a scenic spot, but also a place where cultural relics gather. At the southern foot there are Wenlan Pavilion, West Lake Tianxia Scenery, Zhejiang Museum and Zhongshan Park. On the west side of the top of the mountain is Xiling Seal Society, at the west foot there is Qiu Jin’s Tomb, and on the northeast slope is Fanghe. Ting et al. Among them, the Crane Fang Pavilion at the northern foot of the mountain was built to commemorate Lin Hejing, a reclusive poet in the Song Dynasty. He has the legend of plum wife and crane son. Lin was from Hangzhou and had lived in seclusion in Gushan for a long time. He had never been an official or married throughout his life, so he took plum as his wife and crane as his son. There is a saying that "plum wife and crane son". After Lin's death, he was buried in Gushan. The crane wailed in front of the tomb and died. Inside the pavilion is a stone inscription "Crane Dance Ode". The inscription is a copy of the calligraphy of Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty copied by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Plum blossoms are widely planted outside the pavilion, making it a beautiful place to enjoy plum blossoms on the lake.

In the Ming Dynasty, Ling Yunhan wrote: "The frozen trees smell the tail of the lake in the morning, and the scenery of Gushan is so beautiful." ” is a good sentence. There is a poem from the ancients that says: "Penglai in the world is like a solitary mountain, and it is easy to lean on the railings where there are plum blossoms."

On a sunny day, the mountains, rocks, trees, pavilions and pavilions are just like the fine brushstrokes described in every stroke, and the scenery is majestic and elegant. When it rains, it looks like freehand brushwork with splashed ink, vast and green, and the mountains are a bit mysterious in the sky.
In the solitary lake, a solitary mountain shaped like a cluster of black flowers holds the inner lake and the outer lake. , surrounded by vast clouds and water, misty waves. The lakes and mountains are integrated into one rhyme, and the lightness and tranquility complement each other.

Lu Kai, a native of the Southern Dynasties, once carefully cut plum blossoms in Hangzhou during the flowering season, and specially asked someone to bring them to his friend Fan Ye in Chang'an. He even included a small poem saying: "Flowers cut off to meet the messenger." , sent to the people of Longtou. There is no farewell letter from the south of the Yangtze River, and I want to give you a plum blossom." This poem is as clear as words, and the emotions are contained in it. The concern for friends and the love for plum blossoms are vividly expressed on the paper at the same time.
