An old Chinese saying : "There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below."
This lake and its surrounding is a GIANT scale traditional Chinese garden.
The panorama is just so pleasing. Like Sharon rightly put it - It would be wonderful without the crowd!
The area around the lake was full of people, but the scene of wooden boat against the hazy pagoda and mountain, the willow trees swaying and the refreshing breeze really dazzled me.
Well, we didn't have time to explore the rest of the West Lake, including the Leifengta (The Lei Fang Pagoda) and the shrine to remember the hero General Yuefei. But this may be a good excuse to come back again, next year, perhaps??
