1, West Lake: Another name is Xizi Lake, also known as Qiantang Lake. It is adjacent to the urban area in the east, surrounded by mountains in the south, west and north, and dotted with dikes in Bai Causeway, Su Causeway, Yang Gongdi and Zhao Gong. It divides the lake into five areas: Outer Lake, Xili Lake, Beili Lake, Xiaonan Lake and Moon Lake. There are three small islands dotted in the lake: Zhou Xiaoying, Ruan Gongdun and Hu Xinting. According to historical records, in the pre-Qin period more than 2,000 years ago, West Lake was still a part of Qiantang River. With the crustal movement and sediment deposition, the West Lake that we see today gradually formed, which is famous for "one mountain, two towers, three islands, three dikes and five lakes".

2. Lingyin Temple: As the saying goes, if you look at the West Lake, you can look at Lingyin. Lingyin Temple is one of the famous ancient temples in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and it is also one of the top ten ancient temples of Zen in China. It is also said that you have never been to Hangzhou without visiting Lingyin. Lingyin Temple, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located at the foot of Lingyin Mountain in the west of West Lake, with its back to Beifeng and facing Feilai Peak. The two peaks are opposite, the trees are lush, the ancient temple is hidden in the mountains, and the clouds are lingering. According to legend, 65,438+0,600 years ago, Tianzhu Buddhist Monk Association came to Hangzhou, saw the beautiful landscape here, and thought it was "hidden by the gods", so it built a temple here and named it Lingyin.

3. Qiandao Lake: Xin 'anjiang Reservoir, an artificial lake formed by damming around Xin 'anjiang in the late 1950s, is named "Qiandao Lake" because there are more than 1000 islands in the lake, which are dotted and criss-crossed with excellent environment. Among the great rivers in China, Qiandao Lake is unique with its clear and pure water, and is known as "the best water in the world". Because it is connected with Qiantang River, Fuchun River and Xin 'anjiang River, it is more fresh and refined, elegant and beautiful. The color of water, light blue and light green, looks like a deep sea from a distance.
