Drinking on the lake when it first clears and then rains
Su Shi [Song Dynasty]
It is good to be clear when the water is shining, but it is also strange when the mountains are empty and covered with rain.
If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always better to put on light makeup and heavy makeup.

After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that of the four seasons.
The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red.
Translation
This is the scenery of West Lake in June. The scenery is very different from other seasons.
The dense layers of lotus leaves spread out, as if they are connected to the sky, an endless expanse of green, and the lotus flowers are particularly bright and red under the sun.
