West Lake of Zhejiang, China, located in the west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, is one of the first batch of national key scenic spots in China and a World Heritage Site. Famous for its "three cloudy mountains and one side of the city", the lake is divided by natural and humanistic landscapes such as Lone Mountain, White Causeway and Su Causeway, forming the basic pattern of "one mountain, two towers, three islands, three causeways and five lakes". The ten scenic spots (such as the Spring Dawn of the Su Causeway and the Broken Bridge) carry a thousand years of poems, songs and folk legends, and Su Shi's famous line, "I want to compare the West Lake with the West Side", has made it a symbol of the aesthetics of Jiangnan. Nowadays, the West Lake is not only Hangzhou's ecological business card, but also a model of harmonious coexistence between traditional Chinese culture and nature, attracting tourists from all over the world to savor its unique flavor of "light makeup and thick smear".
