| This is largely thanks to the West Lake (Xihu), a natural lagoon formed some
2,000 years ago as the tidal waters of the Qiantang River gradually silted
up. West Lake is a large freshwater lake, bordered on three sides by hills.
Its banks and islands are blanketed with small gardens and temples. __________Sights Edit This Rajiv Lochn in China Rajiv Lochn in China Mrs. Xiao Hangzhou's most famous individual sights, ranging from the extravagant and historic Yuefei Mu (Temple and Tomb of Yuefei) to the ancient hillside Buddhist carvings of Feilai Feng and its associated temple, the Lingyin Si, one of China's largest and most renowned. Farther afield, beautiful tea plantations nestle around the village of Longjing and the bizarre former home of the disgraced leader Lin Biao, while south down to the Qiantang River are excellent walking opportunities. [Add Sight] Lingyin Si (Temple of Inspired Seclusion) Edit This Buddha's Head Lingyin Temple Buddha's Head Lingyin Temple photo by: Roger Cavanagh Originally founded in 326 AD by a Buddhist monk returning from India, this wonderful temple has been restored and rebuilt no fewer than 16 times over the centuries. The chief attraction is an enormous 20m high Sakyamuni Buddha statue, built only in 1956 but meticulously carved from camphor wood and decorated with gold. The temple's large halls and vast pillars remain awesome. A vegetarian restaurant is situated beside the temple. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] West Lake (Xihu) Edit This There are some 36 lakes across China called West Lake, but Hangzhou's is the finest. The lake is crossed by two cause-ways, the Baidi and the Sudi, where you can sit and watch life go by. Take a boat out to visit the lake's islands, the most serene of which is Santan Yinyue (Three Pools Reflecting the Moon), famous for the romantic atmosphere created by the reflection of the August moon. Larger boats leave from the Hangzhou Overseas Chinese Hotel on Hubin Lu, or you can rent your own boat anywhere along the shoreline. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Mausoleum of General Yue Fei (Yue Fei Mu) Edit This General Yue Fei (1103-1141) was a commander of the Song armies, who succeed against the invaders but was deceived by Qin Hui, a treacherous court official.

The original structure dates from 968 AD, when local courtiers built a pagoda in an effort to ensure the safe return of their local ruler from the Song Dynasty court in Kaifeng. A visit to Bao Chu is best combined with a walk around Xihu, and can be reached from Baidi causeway. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] The Lake Shore Edit This Most of Hangzhou's sights are on or near the lakeshore. An ideal way to get between them is by bike, otherwise you can use the local buses or simply walk. It's possible to walk round the entire circumference in one day, but you wouldn't have time to stop at all the sights en route. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Six Harmonies Pagoda Edit This The 60m high octagonal Six Harmonies Pagoda named after the six codes of Buddhism.
