Why is Xianghu Lake called "Sister Lake" of West Lake?
If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, light makeup is always appropriate. The West Lake will remain immortal in Su Shi's works and become a resounding city card in Hangzhou. But because of its superior geographical location and pleasant scenery, it is far more moving than here. For local people, instead of going to the crowded concave West Lake, it is better to feast their eyes on Hunan Lake and encounter a quiet landscape.

Xianghu Lake is located in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, with beautiful scenery and is known as the West Lake? Sister Hu? As one of the cradles of Chinese civilization, Xianghu Lake has not so many romantic legends, but it has left its own precious culture in the historical rings. There is a cultural site of the Cross-Lake Bridge, a state-level cultural relic protection unit, where the world's earliest canoe was unearthed. The site of Yuewangcheng, located at the top of the city, witnessed that section of Wang Yue? Sleep on your laurel? Of course, it is also the favorite place of literati, and poets such as Li Bai and Lu You have left immortal sentences here.

As the mother lake of Xiaoshan, today's Xianghu Lake has developed into the first batch of national-level tourist resorts, forming five scenic spots: Bridge Crossing the Lake, Xiangpu, Lake, Chengshan and Yuelou. Among them, the most famous Ten Scenes of Xianghu Lake, Wobo Xiangdi, the cloud in the middle of the lake and Chengshan nostalgia are worth visiting.

When I came to Xianghu, the oncoming autumn wind gently blew me, and the complicated moments of the journey were swept away. It is no better than the West Lake, and there are no noisy crowds, only the quiet beauty surrounded by green shade. Looking around, the blue waves are rippling, and the lake is crystal clear, without a trace of pollution. Looks like I have to wash away all my inner desires. Looking at the lake for a long time, my mood became extraordinarily calm. It is also beautiful to stand like this, blowing the wind and not talking.

The green area of the scenic spot is very large, and the small shrubs have become vivid and lovely after careful carving in the garden style. On the basis of preserving the original features of nature, blending into the artistic atmosphere really makes people linger. Stop-and-go all the way to the bridge across the lake, the ancient stone bridge stood quietly, regardless of the wind and rain, unwavering, witnessed countless spring, summer, autumn and winter. The stone bridge has been slightly mottled under the destruction of wind and rain. With the coming and going of each season, the grass next to it, which was originally a depressed autumn scenery, has become extraordinarily warm because of the sunshine.

Willow trees by the lake dance with the wind. It is hard to imagine that in such a late autumn, you can still see such green wicker, which makes people sigh the power of life. Overlooking the bridge across the lake, it is like a link, pulling people coming and going, and like a white dragon, freely shuttling in the long river of 8,000 years of history and civilization.

After the clouds disappear, when the moon is slanting, the tide falls and the boat is drunk. Because of the time, I can't see all kinds of amorous feelings of the night view of Xianghu Lake, but its picturesque appearance is deeply imprinted in my heart and lingers for a long time.
