Cause of formation of West Lake in Hangzhou

Xiangxi, west and north are surrounded by mountains on three sides. Bai Causeway, Su Causeway, Yang Gongdi and Zhao Gong dikes in the lake divide the lake into several water surfaces. The outline of the West Lake is nearly oval, and the bottom of the lake is relatively flat. The natural surface water sources of the lake are Jinsha River, Longhong River, Chishan River (Yin Hui) and Changqiao River.

Wu Yueguo in the Five Dynasties, the West Lake has not been repaired for many years and is overgrown with weeds.

During Song Jingde's reign, after the money was returned to Song Dynasty, the soldiers in the lake abandoned and the West Lake was blocked again. Half of the lake is occupied by monks.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were about 250,000 feet (about 4 100 mu) of farmland on the lake, and nearly half of the West Lake was blocked. The river is blocked and six wells are almost useless.

After the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty, the residents of Lin 'an became richer and richer, the river gradually blocked, it was difficult to sail, and the West Lake was silted up.

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty (1723— 1735), the West Lake was seriously flooded. More than 440 mu of the lake was occupied by Tiandang (contract 0.29 square kilometers), and 3 120 mu was silted up into a shoal (contract 2.08 square kilometers).

In the first year of the Republic of China (19 12), the political department of Zhejiang military government presided over the demolition of the walls from Qiantangmen to Yongjinmen and Qiying City, opened up new markets, built lakeside roads along the lake, and set up fences 20 meters away from the lake, which was called lakeside park.

In the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), the Zhejiang provincial government erected a bronze statue of Chen at Sanyuan Wharf. The following year, the Kuomintang Party Department in Zhejiang Province built the "Memorial Tower for Soldiers Killed in the Northern Expedition" at Pier 2.

In the spring of the Republic of China 19 (1930), the Hangzhou municipal government reclaimed the land from the north of Changsheng Road to Qiantangmentou, covering an area of about 2 1 mu, and turned it into the sixth park.

In the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), the Hangzhou municipal government began to build a memorial hall for the fallen soldiers of the 88th Division at the dock of the Fifth Park.

Since 2002, Hangzhou has implemented free opening of scenic spots around the lake.
