South Shore of the West Lake


(2003-12-22 10:34:26)

The south shore of the West Lake allows guests to enjoy leisure, vacation, physical exercise, entertainment and sightseeing simultaneously, adding naturally and culturally fresh highlight to the lakeside.

Being so close to water, the scenic south line starts from the first park of Lakeside Road, passes by oriole's willow jungle, twists with tea house-dotted and bridge-lined grassland, lost in fountains, fog forest and birds' chipping.

A lazy walk along the south boundary provides you with views of the statue of arrow-shooting general, a golden pond and ancient shrines. All the 18 places of cultural interest have purified the poetic taste among the natural surrounding here.

Ancient structures make an exotic addition to the area. Zhou's Old House and Hong's Hall from Xi County, An Hui Province, present specially designed hard mountain roof, brick-carving plaque and high wind wall. Passing by the imperial port, visitors are able to see Gratitude Bridge and New Heng He Bridge.

The art galleries and bars along the street seem to gleam with modernity. The coming dust calls upon bars like Dream Paradise or Fire Cicada to shimmer light. The haunting music reminds visitors of those nearby popular destinations. The whole south line is dotted with bar section, culture section, leisure section, food and drinking section, art corridors, fashionable bars and special tea houses.

The south line is also close to the downtown. The local citizens need not walk long to enjoy sipping tea, doing physical exercise, running exhibition or organizing folk performance. It is so convenient that they feel just like at home.

This green line, considered as the golden lakeside tourist attraction, flexibly reconciles the city with the lake.
