Gushan, which can also be said to be a big island in the West Lake, starts from Xiheng Bridge in the west, and is connected with Beishan Road in the east by Jindai Bridge, Bai Causeway Bridge and Broken Bridge, just like a big ship pulled by two cables, with West Lake and Beili Lake (near Beishan) on both sides. Crossing an antique stone arch bridge with a ring hole, this is Xiqiao Bridge, one of the three "Lover Bridges" in the West Lake (the other two bridges are Long Bridge and Broken Bridge). On the bank of the lake bend, the tall trees and lovers on the benches under the trees are very vivid in the background of the water and sky of the West Lake, forming a warm and touching ink silhouette. We have to admire and admire.
Along the lonely mountain on the path, there is the famous Xiling Yinshe site. According to the interview, this society is an academic group that studies and compiles China. In the 30th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1904), Ding Ren, Wang Zhai, Ye Weiming, Wu Yin and others were founded in Gushan, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and were named after their proximity to Xiling. At that time, the agency had a certain influence on the study of seal cutting calligraphy and painting, and was located in Gushan Scenic Area, so it became one of the famous tourist spots in West Lake.
Although the lonely mountain is not big, it is also dangerous to visit it. Its scenery was famous in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Li Zong once built the West Taiyi Palace here and classified most of the lonely mountain as a royal garden. Kangxi built a palace here in the Qing Dynasty, and Yongzheng changed the palace into a sacred temple, which was called "Four Jungles of West Lake" with Lingyin Temple, Jingci Temple Temple and Zhaoqing Temple at that time.
In history, this mountain has a particularly beautiful scenery, and it has always been occupied by emperors who are called loners, so it is called an isolated mountain. Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty (103 1 ~ 1095) wrote that Lin Bu (a poet and hermit from Qiantang) lived in a lonely mountain in Hangzhou and often kept two cranes. When he was released from the cage, he flew into the sky, circled in the sky for a long time, and then returned to the cage.

After a short rest on the bench by the lake of "Autumn Moon in Pinghu", we came to Gushan again. ?
The lonely mountain is green and the path is winding. In the embrace of the lonely mountain, lies the "scenery of the West Lake". It was in a ravine, and there was a rectangular cornice pavilion. The horizontal plaque on the pavilion read "West Lake is the best scenery in the world". There is an invisible pond in front of Fang Ting, and there are some stones beside it. It is small and exquisite, and it is really beautiful. The whole "West Lake World Scenery" has two high walls, one of which has a dangerous passage, which seems to be at the bottom of a deep mountain. Among them, streams, ponds, flowers, trees, pavilions and bridges are arranged densely and orderly, which has the artistic effect of "seeing the big from the small".
Gushan is the largest island in the West Lake, and its scenery was famous in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, said: "Gushan Temple is in the north of Jiating West, and the water level is low at the beginning." Ling said in the Ming Dynasty: "Frozen wood smells at the end of the morning, and the lonely mountain is picturesque."
To the east of Gushan, there is a double-decked rectangular pavilion "He Fangting", which was built in memory of Lin Hejing, a hermit in the Song Dynasty. There is a couplet in the pavilion saying, "Water bluestone can count fish, but people go to the mountains and empty cranes don't return." And there is "snow outside the setting sun lake outside the mountain, resting in front of the window." And Lin Zexu's "The grass on earth can really be hidden, and the flowers in the mountains are not lonely" is even more profound and thought-provoking. There is a stone carving on the stone wall of the pavilion in the running script of Dance of the Crane. The handwriting is thirty-eight years of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1699). Kangxi came here to copy the calligraphy of Dong Qichang, a calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty. The font is round and elegant, the layout is symmetrical, and there is a seal of "the treasure of Kangxi Imperial Pen".
The ancients had a poem: "Penglai on earth is an isolated mountain, and there are plum blossoms to lean on." The poet lived in seclusion in the lonely mountain of West Lake, devoted himself to farming, planted a large number of plums, and never married. He only likes to grow plums and raise cranes, claiming that he "takes plums as his wife and cranes as his son" and is called "Plum Wife Crane". After his death, the poet was buried at the northern foot of this lonely mountain. Legend has it that the poet's crane also died in front of the tomb, and people buried it next to the tomb and named it crane grave. Lin Bu is famous for his outstanding Yongmei poems. Among them, "Xiao Mei in the Mountain Garden" and "The shadows are shallow, and the fragrance floats at dusk" are unparalleled, which has become the first good sentence of Yongmei since ancient times.
Standing in the "Hefangting", overlooking the West Lake Hà Thu, overlooking the Baoshi Mountain and Baojiaolou, the scenery is quite good. According to reports, Baoshi Mountain is located on the north bank of Beili Lake, a famous scenic spot in Beishan. The mountain is ochre red. Under the sunlight, it looks like colorful flowing clouds and shines like emerald agate, hence the name "Gemstone Mountain". According to records, Baokui Tower was built on the anniversary of the Five Dynasties (948~960), with the original grade of Grade 9, in order to bless King Qian Hongchu of wuyue to return to Beijing from the north. During the Xianping period of the Northern Song Dynasty (998~ 1003), it was changed to level 7. It was built many times in the past dynasties, and the existing pagoda was restored according to the original ancient pagoda in 22 years of the Republic of China (1933).
We took a leisurely walk along the forest path by the lake of Li Xi. It's really quiet here and there are no other tourists around. There are occasional birds singing among the towering trees, which also proves that the name of the scenic spot "Voice of the Empty Valley" is indeed worthy of the name.
Out of Xiling Bridge, go west to Beishan Road, which is Wang Yue Temple. At this time, we saw such an interesting scene on a lawn beside Beishan Road: several foreign children and a China child are playing football happily with a foreign couple!
