Hangzhou has 10 ancient city gates, and the ancient Qiantang Gate is one of them. After we got off the No.18 bus, we saw it across the road.
Walking along the road, we saw the Lake Viewing Pavilion. This pavilion was built in 964 AD, by the demand of Qian Hongchu, the king of Wuyue Kingdom.
There’re many poems dedicated to Lake Viewing Pavilion. If you wanna to find an ideal place to enjoy the panoramic view of West Lake, the pavilion is a good choice.
Around Lake Viewing Pavilion, there’re several scenic spots, such as Bai Cause Way, Historical Culture Section of Beishan Street, Geling Ridge.
Spring is the most beautiful season of the year. The peach blossoms are blooming and the willows turn green. Furthermore, the temperature is convenient.
We decided to walk beside the lake and saw lots of mandarin ducks paddling on the lake.
