This famous beauty has been symbol of Hangzhou. For centuries, Chinese poets made innumerous famous lines praising its supernatural charm. Famous Song dynasty poet-Sushi once compared the lake to beautiful women. The lake is 3km long and 3 km wide, comprising a number of sights, some with such romantic names Autumn Moon on a Calm lake, Three Pools Embracing the Moon?-A stroll along any portions of the lake's shore or along the either of the two causeways-Bai Causeway, Su Causeway in autumn sunshine is delightful. For those who do not want to walk too long, Tourist buses No.1 and No 3 running between sights in the West Lake scenic area are good options.
