Xiao Chun Su Causeway 1
Su Causeway starts from Nanping Mountain in the south and ends at Qixia Mountain in the north, with a total length of nearly three kilometers. It was built by dredging silt in the West Lake when Su Dongpo, a great writer and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty, was appointed as the magistrate of Hangzhou. Later generations named Su Di to commemorate his achievements in managing the West Lake. The waves lying on the long embankment connect the north and south mountains, adding a charming scenery to the West Lake. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiao Chun, Su Causeway was listed as the first of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, and in the Yuan Dynasty, it was also called "Liuqiao Willow" and was listed as the ten scenic spots in Qiantang, which shows that it has been deeply loved by people since ancient times.
2. Wind load of Qu Yuan
Quyuan Wind Lotus, with the theme of lotus viewing in summer, inherits Su Causeway's spring dawn and ranks second among the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. Qu Yuan was originally a brewing workshop opened by the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court. It is located near the Hongchun Bridge on Lingyin Road, near the shore of the West Lake at that time. Lotus was planted on the shore of the lake. In summer, when Xu Lailiang blows gently, there are lotus flowers and wine everywhere, which makes people drunk without drinking. Wang Yan, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, once said in a poem: "Looking for summer is cold in spring, and the pier is cold in the evening. Ai Quxiang array is far away from people, and you can buy a boat after Gao Qiao. " After the Quyuan gradually declined, abandoned. After Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty wrote Ten Scenes of the West Lake, a pavilion of Quyuan Fenghe Jingbei was built across Hongqiao in Su Causeway. All that remains is a small lotus flower on the lake in front of a small courtyard.
3. Autumn moon in Pinghu
Pinghu Qiuyue Scenic Area is located at the western end of Bai Causeway, at the southern foot of Gushan Mountain, near the West Lake. In fact, as one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, Pinghu Autumn Moon did not have a fixed scenic spot in the Southern Song Dynasty. This is not difficult to see from the poems praised by scholars in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties at that time, such as "the moonlight is cold and the spring scenery is sluggish, where there is a boating ode"; Ming Hongzhanzu wrote in his poem: "Autumn Geren climbed the waves and wrinkled, and the fairy mountain castle was dusty in the mirror." In the woodcut prints of the Ten Scenes of West Lake in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, the picture of autumn moon in Pinghu is still dominated by tourists looking up at the moon on the lake boat.
4. Broken bridge and residual snow
Located at the eastern end of Bai Causeway of West Lake in Hangzhou, the bridge is backed by Baoshi Mountain and faces the downtown area of Hangzhou. It is the water dividing point between Waihu Lake and Beili Lake. The broken bridge has a high potential and a wide field of vision, which is the best place to watch the snow scene of the West Lake in winter. When the snow began to fall, I stood on the gem mountain and looked south. The West Lake is covered with silver and Bai Causeway is covered with snow and ice. The arch surface of the broken bridge is exposed, and the ice and snow melt in the sun, revealing mottled bridge railings, while the two ends of the bridge are still covered with snow. The dimly discernible stone bridge seems to be hidden, but the white snow in the culvert shines brightly, which is in contrast with the taupe bridge deck. It looks like a broken bridge from a distance, so it is called a broken bridge.
5. Liu Lang Wenying
She still takes the green willow color and graceful warbler singing as the keynote of the park landscape, and plants willow with weeping willows, lion willows, drunken willows, sand willows and other characteristics along the lake embankment and the main road of the garden road. In the main scenic spot in the middle of the park, Wenying Pavilion was opened, and a giant cage "Bird Paradise" was arranged not far from Wenying Pavilion, creating a beautiful atmosphere of fireworks, willows flying and warblers in March. In the east of Wenying Pavilion, there is a friendship garden scenic spot with lawns and dense forests, and some Japanese cherry blossoms have been introduced. On the north side of the lawn, there is a stone platform and a monument to "No War between Japan and China". On the west side of Wenying Pavilion, there is a large lawn that was built when Liuyang Wenying rebuilt. The grass color overlooks the green hills of the West Lake, and on the north side of the lawn is the Liuyang Wenying Monument inscribed by Emperor Kangxi, which was moved here. Tall arbor forests are planted on the south side, which form a vivid picture with rich layers and angles with lawns, Liu 'an and lakes and mountains.
6. Watching fish in Huagang
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Yun Sheng, the chamberlain, built a private garden at the foot of Huajiashan, not far from here. Flowers and trees in the park are sparse, water is diverted into the pool, and five-color fish are raised for viewing, which has gradually become a frequent destination for tourists. It is said that Luyuan is named Huagang because it is close to Huajiashan. The court painter included it when he created the ten scenes of the West Lake. In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1699), Emperor Michelle Ye visited the West Lake, wrote books to watch fish in Huagang as usual, and built a stone tablet beside the fish pond. Later, when Qianlong visited the West Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, he wrote a poem in the shadow of the tablet. There is a cloud in the poem: "There is a flower harbor at the foot of Huajiashan, and there are fish and flowers."
7, Lei Feng sunset
Leifeng, located in front of Jingci Temple, is a remnant vein extending northward from Nanping Mountain. The lake is full of excitement and lush trees. Although it is small and exquisite, its reputation on the lake is one of the best, because there is the Leifeng Tower built by Wu Yueshi at the top of the mountain, which is the most beautiful and romantic tower among many ancient pagodas in the West Lake. Unfortunately, it fell more than 70 years ago, and even the name of the mountain was changed to Zhao Xi. This famous mountain on the south bank of the West Lake is peninsula-shaped, surrounded by water on three sides, and once lived in the imperial garden of the Southern Song Dynasty.
8. Twin peaks in the cloud
The towering Tianmu Mountain faces east, and the other vein meets the West Lake, which is divided into north and south, forming Nanshan and Beishan in the West Lake Scenic Area. Among them, Nanfeng and Beifeng were inhabited by monks in ancient times, and a stupa was built on the top of the mountain, which was far opposite and much higher than the peaks. Spring and autumn are beautiful, the fog is white, the spire is in the clouds, and it is hidden from time to time. From a distance, the momentum is extraordinary. In the Southern Song Dynasty, these two peaks were listed as one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty changed the title to "Two Peaks Inserting Clouds" and built a viewing pavilion next to Hongchun Bridge. At that time, the ancient pagoda of Shuangfeng was destroyed for a long time, so that even the original connotation of this scene once made it difficult to know that those "clouds" were empty talk. It is an expedient measure to set up a monument pavilion here. "The floating graphics are opposite to Cui Wei, and the products are green and floating. Try to look up at Phoenix Mountain, where the sky is high in the south and the smoke is low in the north. "
9. Nanping Night Clock
The night clock in Nanping is perhaps the earliest of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Zeduan, a famous painter, painted the Night Clock Map of Nanping. Although this painting is far less famous in painting circles than his Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, it was recorded in Tianshui Iceberg Record in Ming Dynasty. Nanping Mountain spans the south bank of the West Lake, with a height of only 1000 meters, and the mountain extends over1000 meters. On the mountain, there are strange rocks and beautiful trees. On a sunny day, there are blue sky and white clouds all over the mountain, and the color is delicious. On a rainy and foggy day, clouds cover the fog, and the mountains seem to be dancing lightly, ethereal and ethereal. In the first year of the Later Zhou Dynasty (954), Qian Hongshu, the Lord of the State of Wu Yue, built a Buddhist temple at the foot of Nanping Mountain-Huiri Yongming Courtyard, which later became Jingci Temple, one of the two major Buddhist Dojo in the West Lake, alongside Lingyin Temple.
Yin Yue Santan 10
Santan silver moon Island, also known as Zhou Xiaoying, together with Hu Xinting and Ruan Gongdun, is called the Three Islands on the Lake. Including the water surface, the whole island covers an area of about seven hectares. There are curved bridges connecting the north and the south, and bridges connecting the east and the west with earth dikes cross each other, dividing the water surface of the island into four parts, and the periphery of the water surface is a circular dike. Seen from the air, the land on the island looks like a giant "field", which shows that there are islands in the lake and lakes in the island. The waterscape is unique among the ten scenic spots of the West Lake, and it is a classic of water town gardens in the south of the Yangtze River in China. In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1606), Qiantang County ordered Nie Xintang to take the silt from the lake and build a dam around the island, which initially became a lake in the lake as a place for release. Later generations built three small bottle-shaped stone pagodas in the south lake of the island, which were called "three pools". In the early Qing dynasty, there were curved bridges and halls on the island, and hibiscus was planted around the inner lake. After Peng Yulin, a retired general in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, built a villa here, Zhou Xiaoying began to take shape.
