Introduction of West Lake and Liulang Wenying (Old Ten Scenes)

West Lake Liulang Wenying (Old Ten Scenes) belongs to the famous tourist attraction of Hangzhou cultural landscape.

Now, after nearly 40 years of continuous development and construction, the oriole in Liulang has evolved from the imperial garden enjoyed by emperors in those days into a paradise for ordinary people. She still takes the green willow color and graceful warblers as the keynote of the park landscape, and plants characteristic willows such as weeping willows, lion willows, drunken willows and sand willows 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 birdcage paradise was arranged not far from Wenying Pavilion, creating an atmosphere of fireworks, willow dancing and beautiful singing birds 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 the Japanese-Chinese War stands. 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 lawns, willow banks and lakes and mountains.

The earlier Qianwang Memorial Hall in the north of the park was transformed into a courtyard scenic spot with the style and layout of private gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, and named after Jujing Garden. Gardens, pavilions, fake mountain spring pools, small bridges, flowing water, low walls and leaking windows, and exotic flowers and grasses all have their own places, which makes the whole park winding and secluded, unique.

The southeast of the park has been transformed into a place for mass entertainment activities, and an open-air stage has been built, which has become a good place for Hangzhou citizens and tourists from all directions to do morning exercises, take vacations and celebrate festivals. Every summer and autumn, it is also a night garden to cool off the heat. There are various forms of songs and dances, operas and movies, and various flower exhibitions and lantern festivals are held from time to time, attracting people.
