Now we are going to the West Lake. Hangzhou is called a paradise on earth, and the beauty of Hangzhou mainly lies in the West Lake. In fact, the West Lake is the most difficult part to introduce, because it is different from Lingyin Temple or tea garden. Because it is a feeling, not a fact. Once, my friends and I will discuss how to show beauty to our guests. Finally, we come to the conclusion that the best way is. The best way is: Ladies and gentlemen, the beauty of Hangzhou is beyond words. So I'm sorry I can't make any introduction. Please keep your eyes and enjoy your beauty!
Well, that must be the easiest way for me! If my father were the boss of my company, I would do so, and I would never be fired. ...
Ok, let's see what we can do in the West Lake. What can we see over there? Here I will sum it up with one, two, three, four, that is, one lake, two bogados, three causeways and four islands.
First, a lake. West Lake. In fact, there are 36 lakes named "West Lake" in China, but the most beautiful one is here, in Hangzhou. If you have been to the Summer Palace in Beijing, you will find that Kunming Lake there is very similar to the West Lake, because Kunming Lake is a replica of the West Lake. Before the Summer Palace was completed, the emperor came to Hangzhou. He was impressed by the scenery of the West Lake, so he ordered his painters to draw it (because they didn't have a camera at that time, or a good camera). When the Summer Palace was completed, those paintings became part of the blueprint.
Second, two pogado. One is very slim, the other is very strong. So people in Hangzhou compare them to slim girls and strong handsome men respectively. They stood face to face on both sides of the lake, but they could never reach each other. Of the two pogados, the strong one is more famous in China. In fact, what we can see now is a new building. The original one collapsed 80 years ago. Shortly after the pagoda collapsed, the government wanted to rebuild it, but many locals said, no, we can't do that. Why? I'll tell you later.
Three dikes. These three dikes are artificial. They divided the West Lake into several parts. Each dike is named after three local officials in ancient Hangzhou, because these three officials have made great contributions to Hangzhou. Hangzhou people call these causeways lovers causeways. Why? Because they are long, about 2.5 meters long, and there are flowers and trees on both sides, the atmosphere is very romantic. If a boy can hold a girl's hand and finish a road at night, it means that he has won the girl's heart 99% successfully.
Four islands. One is natural and three are man-made. Man-made one is the largest, and its name is "Gushan", which is located in the north of the lake. Three artificial people gathered in the middle.
In addition to this "1234", the West Lake has a very special place. Do you have one yuan RMB? Ok, what can you see on the back of it? Three small stones! This is the most important part, the symbol of the West Lake, and even the symbol of Hangzhou! It is so famous in China that it is even printed on the bill! Let's see who was the first person to discover this place later.
