In Hangzhou, there are folk proverbs that "you can't visit the West Lake without going out of the building" and "Tianxiang Building in the city, building outside the city". When it comes to representative restaurants in hangzhou dishes, we have to mention the century-old shops outside the building. Louwailou was founded by Hongduantang on 1848. He and his wife are good at cooking fish and shrimp. Considering there is no restaurant in Xiling Bridge, they opened a pub in Gushan, which was originally located in the east of Lou Yu.
At that time, the owner asked Yu Yue to name the pub. Yu Yue said with a smile, "Since your restaurant is outside my Yulou, call it Wailou." But now it is more said that the name of the store is taken from the outer building of Qingshan Building outside Lin 'an Fushan Mountain in Lin Sheng of the Southern Song Dynasty. There are endless castles in the green hills.
The existing building outside the building is 1978, which was built according to Premier Zhou Enlai's request that the whole West Lake scenery and isolated mountain environment should be taken care of, and the house should not be built too high and too foreign, but should have national characteristics.
