Located in the west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, West Lake is the first batch of national key scenic spots in Chinese mainland and one of the top ten scenic spots in China. It is one of the main ornamental freshwater lakes in Chinese mainland, one of the few lakes in the World Heritage List, and the only lake cultural heritage in China.
The West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with an area of about 6.39 square kilometers, a width of about 2.8 kilometers from east to west, a length of about 3.2 kilometers from north to south, and a lake area of about 15 kilometers. The lake is separated by an isolated mountain, Bai Causeway, Su Causeway and Yang Gongdi. According to the size of the area, it is divided into five water surfaces: Waixi Lake, Xili Lake, Beili Lake, Xiaonanhu Lake and Yuehu Lake. Su Causeway and Bai Causeway pass through the lake, while Zhou Xiaoying, Hu Xinting and Ruan Gongdun stand in the center of Waixi Lake. The Leifeng Pagoda in Zhao Xi and the Baodi Pagoda in Baoshi Mountain are separated by a lake, forming one.
Wu Yueguo and the Southern Song Dynasty, which were the most prominent in the history of Hangzhou's development, had the greatest influence on the West Lake. It was in these two dynasties that the West Lake was fully developed and basically shaped. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi, a famous poet, made great contributions to the management of the West Lake. 1 127, after the Southern Song Dynasty made Lin 'an its capital, Hangzhou became the political, economic and cultural center of the whole country, with rapid population growth and economic prosperity, and entered the heyday of development. The name of the Ten Scenes of the West Lake originated from the landscape paintings of the Southern Song Dynasty. Yu Fang Sheng Lan and Wu Meng were recorded in the Southern Song Dynasty, and were also mentioned in literati poems at that time. Ten scenic spots are all near or in the West Lake. In the Yuan Dynasty, the West Lake was still a "golden cave" for singing and dancing. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the West Lake experienced several times of dredging, and the dredged lake mud accumulated two islands in the lake: Huxinting and Zhou Xiaoying.

Translation:
