What is the commentary of the West Lake in Hangzhou?

International friends of the West Lake is even more memorable. Former U.S. President Richard Nixon came to Hangzhou twice, and he marveled, "Beijing is the capital of China, and Hangzhou is the heart of this country, and I will come back again." Nixon also gave Hangzhou redwood trees produced in his home state of California.

Our boat had started slowly. I'll start by giving a brief overview of the whole lake tour: the attractions around the lake are One Mountain and Two Embankments. A mountain refers to the Lone Mountain, the Lone Mountain scenic area of more than 30 places of interest, along the lake they can appreciate the Xiling Bridge, Qiu Jin's tomb, Xiling Printing Society, outside the building, Zhongshan Park and so on. After the Lone Mountain is the White Causeway, starting from the Autumn Moon of Pinghu Lake and ending at the Broken Bridge, and after the bridge there is the famous Jewel Flow Haze and other landscapes. After enjoying the scenery along the lake, we will go to the three islands in the lake, and the cruise ship will finally dock at Su Causeway.

Now the boat is traveling from west to east, you to the scenery around the Lone Mountain. Lone Mountain west of the west of the Xiling Bridge, east of the White Causeway, 35 meters above sea level, covers an area of 200,000 square meters. The scenery of the Lone Mountain has been famous during the Tang and Song dynasties, and Emperor Li Zong of the Southern Song Dynasty built the magnificent West Taiyi Palace here, and designated half of the Lone Mountain as the imperial garden. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty built a palace here, and Emperor Yongzheng changed the palace to Shengin Temple, which was known as "the four jungles of West Lake" together with Lingyin Temple, Jingci Temple and Zhaoding Temple at that time. Perhaps some friends want to ask: Lone Mountain is the largest island in the West Lake, why the name "Lone Mountain"? This is because the history of this mountain is particularly beautiful scenery, has been known as the lone emperor possessed, so was the lonely mountain. Geologically speaking, Lone Mountain is composed of volcanic eruption of rhyolite, the whole bird is connected to the land, so "Lone Mountain is not lonely, broken bridge is not, long bridge is not long" is known as the West Lake three best.
