The next day, Qiao Feng and Li Shishi got on their horses and started touring Hangzhou with Lu Fengbo.

They first rode to West Lake, which was the most famous place in Hangzhou. Su Shi and many other scholars had left their masterpieces there.

For example, Bai Juyi's Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake

To the west of Jia Ting in the north of Gushan Temple, the water was flat and the clouds were low.

Where early orioles compete for warm trees, whose new swallows peck spring mud.

The flowers are gradually mesmerizing, and the shallow grass cannot hide the hooves.

I love the lake to the east is not enough, green poplar shade in the white sand embankment.

Another example is Su Shi's "Drinking on the Lake after the First Clear Rain"

first

At dawn, I welcome guests on the high hill. In the evening rain, I stay in the drunken village.

This kind of meaning is not good for the monarch, a cup should be the water fairy king.

second

The water glistened and the sky was clear, and the mountains were empty and covered with rain.

If you want to compare the West Lake with the West Lake, it is always appropriate to wear light makeup and heavy makeup.

And his "Calming the Storm: The Eternal Heroic Ruan Infantry"

for thousands of years, the heroic Ruan infantry. I've been an official all my life. I love Dongping. I've come thousands of miles away, but I still can't stay. Go home. leaving only air, her charm shines on people's purity.

Pink Honored Warrior was deeply vexed. Xio said. how could I have left so much affection? Remember next year's highlights. We must see. The sound of heartbreak in the West Lake.

They began to stroll slowly along West Lake.

The lake was surrounded by mountains on the south, west, and north sides of the lake. The White Dike, Su Dike, Yanggong Dike, and Zhaogong Dike divided the lake into several water surfaces. The lake's outline was nearly oval, and the bottom of the lake was relatively flat. The average depth of the lake was ten feet, the deepest was about twenty feet, and the shallowest was less than three feet. West Lake's natural surface water source was Jinsha Stream, Longhong Stream, Huiyin Stream, and Changqiao Stream.

broken bridge

The West Lake Broken Bridge was located at the dividing point between Beili Lake and Outer West Lake in Hangzhou. One end of the bridge crossed Beishan Road and the other end connected to the White Cavern. It was said that the Broken Bridge had been built as early as the Tang Dynasty and was called the Blessing Bridge in the Song Dynasty. The name of the Broken Bridge came from the Tang Dynasty. The origin of its name is that the road to the lonely mountain is cut off here, so it is named; Duan Jiaqiao was also called Duan Qiao, which was also known as Broken Bridge. There was a stele pavilion on the northeast side of the bridge, and there was a stele called Broken Bridge Remnant Snow.

leifeng Pagoda

Leifeng Pagoda was also known as the Imperial Concubine Pagoda and the Xiguan Brick Pagoda. It was located on the Lei Peak of Xizhao Mountain on the south bank of West Lake. Leifeng Pagoda was first built in 977 by Qian Hongchu, King Zhongyi of Wu and Yue, to worship Buddha's relics. Because the tower was completed at the time of the Northern Song Dynasty's posthumous title of Qian Hongchu's wife, Sun, who had died not long ago, as the "Imperial Concubine", it was named "Imperial Concubine Tower". Later, because the mountain peak it was on was called Leifeng, it was gradually called Leifeng Pagoda.

sudi

Su Cake was located on the west side of West Lake. It started from the foot of Nanping Mountain in the south and ended at the foot of Qixia Ridge in the north. It was nearly six miles long. When Su Dongpo, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, was the governor of Hangzhou, he dredged West Lake and used the mud dug out to build it. Later generations named it Su Di in memory of Su Dongpo's governance of the West Lake. Along the dike, there were six single-hole stone arch bridges, Yingbo, Suolan, Wangshan, Yadi, Dongpu and Kuahong.

After visiting West Lake, they came to Xixi, which was near West Lake.

There were many small boats on the West River for tourists to visit. The rental fee was sixty taels of silver a day. It was already noon when they arrived at the West River after visiting the West Lake, so the three of them gave thirty taels of silver to the boatman for a half-day tour. Then, the boatman began to row the boat to take them on a tour. There was even a person sitting on the boat explaining the beautiful scenery of the West River to them.

The scenery along the way was pleasant. The boat slowly rowed on the water of the West Stream. The river they passed was wide or narrow. There were reeds on both sides and some trees and jungles. It was like visiting a paradise on earth.

"Xixi is so beautiful!" Qiao Feng could not help but praise.

At night, they returned to the inn together. The next day, they prepared to continue touring Hangzhou.

On the second day, they first came to Hidden Spirit Temple.

The image of "tolerating the world's difficult things and laughing at the ridiculous people in the world" was vividly portrayed. Surrounded by eighteen Arhats, their expressions were also different and vivid.

According to previous records, there were 72 caves in the past, but most of them had been buried due to the passage of time.

Lingyin Copper Hall

In the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats, there was a newly built "Lingyin Copper Hall". It was 40 feet high and was the tallest copper hall.

After touring the Hidden Spirit Temple, they went to Mount Tongjun.

There were Bian Que from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhang Zhongjing from the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo from the Three Kingdoms, Ge Hong from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sun Simiao from the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Weiyi from the Song Dynasty. As a result, Chinese medicine was passed down like a relay race. Hence, later generations called this Tongjun Mountain the 'Medicine Ancestor Holy Land'.

Here, you can enjoy tea, listen to music, hold poetry and painting meetings, hold water weddings, etc. You can also sail and tour Fuchun River at night.

After touring Mount Tongjun, they rode their horses to Mount Nanping.

Nanping Mountain was a branch of Jiuyao Mountain. The mountain peaks were tall and beautiful, with strange rocks and exquisite rocks. The walls and slopes were like a barrier. Because it is located in the south of Hangzhou, there are stone walls like barriers, so it is called Nanping Mountain. Nanping Mountain stretched across the south bank of West Lake. The mountain was no higher than a hundred meters, but the mountain extended for more than a thousand meters. Strange rocks stand on the mountain, and the green trees are pleasing to the eye. On a sunny day, the mountains were covered with green mist and white clouds. On a rainy and foggy day, the clouds and mist covered the mountains. The mountains seemed to dance lightly, ethereal and ethereal.

The main peak of the mountain, Hui Ri Peak, was hundreds of feet above sea level and was composed of Permian limestone. There are many cliffs and caves on the mountain, and there are many stone scenes, especially the scenery of "Nanping Wanzhong" at the northern foot of the mountain. There were many ancient cliff inscriptions and Buddhist monuments on the mountain that had been preserved to this day. The trees are mainly oak and pine.
