Script 3: A Deep Dive into West Lake

Updated on 2024-12-23 GMT+08:00

West Lake of Hangzhou, boasting dainty landscape of lakes and mountains as well as many places of historic interests, is considered A Paradise on Earth. As part of the World Heritage List, the West Lake not only has natural beauty, but also is a symbol of the Chinese garden art and historical culture.

Dainty landscape of lakes and mountains

The beauty of the West Lake lies in the harmonious co-existence of mountains and waters. The lake is rippling and the mountains are mysterious, with different sceneries in four seasons. In spring, peach blossoms and willows thrive. In summer, the fragrance of lotus flowers is everywhere and lotus leaves are so dense that they look like piling up to the sky. In autumn, the peaceful lake reflects the soft moonlight and the fragrance of cinnamon flowers is everywhere. In winter, bridges covered by snow give a different kind of feeling.

Long history

The West Lake has such a long history that it was recognized as one of the ten most beautiful places in China as early as in the Southern Song Dynasty. The scenic spots are natural and historical, such as Leifeng Pagoda, Baochu Pagoda, Yuewang Temple, and Lingyin Temple. These monuments have witnessed Hangzhou's long history and diverse culture.

Culture and art

The West Lake is not only a scenic spot of natural beauty, but also of magnificent culture and art. It inspired many famous poets, such as Su Dongpo and Bai Juyi, who created literary works that would be remembered by the future generations. In particular, the poem of Su Dongpo perfectly describes the charm of the West Lake.

Garden buildings

The garden buildings of the West Lake are also amazing. Sudi and Baidi are two major causeways of the West Lake. They not only separate the lake, but also connect the small islands in the lake and the scenic spots along the lake. In spring, peach blossoms and willows make the causeway a must-go place. In addition, there are many pavilions around the West Lake, such as the Huxin Pavilion and Wanghu Pavilion, where you can enjoy a perfect view of the lake.

Modernized scenic spot

The West Lake has also been better protected and developed in the modern times. Public facilities, such as walkways and bicycle lanes around the lake, make the travel easier and more comfortable. The intelligent lighting project also offers a brand-new visual experience in the evening.

Positive impacts

The West Lake is not only a symbol of Hangzhou, but also an important part of the global culture. It has huge impact on many aspects.

  • The West Lake serves as a bridge that connects the Chinese culture with other cultures. International cultural festivals, art exhibitions, and cultural exchange activities are held at the West Lake, where artists, scholars, and tourists around the world gather together to get inspired from each other.
  • The West Lake plays a significant role in the tourism and economy of Hangzhou and the whole Zhejiang province. Hotels, restaurants, and transportation benefit from the arrival of tourists, and a large number of jobs have been created for local communities.
  • The beautiful scenery and culture of the West Lake make Hangzhou more attractive, not only to tourists, but also to businesses and investors worldwide.

Protection and inheritance

Protecting the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the West Lake is one of the priorities of Hangzhou.

  • The government has taken a series of measures, including limiting industrial emissions, controlling water pollution, and restoring and protecting wetlands.
  • Historic buildings, monuments, and gardens around the West Lake have been renewed and protected.
  • Laws and regulations have been formulated for the protected areas of the West Lake to crack down on activities that may damage the environment and cultural heritage.
  • People are encouraged to contribute to the protection of the West Lake. The government has made effort to raise the public's awareness of environmental protection and cultural inheritance.
  • Technologies such as the geographic information system (GIS) and drone have been used to monitor and analyze the natural environment and cultural heritage of the West Lake in real time.
  • Educational and promotional activities enable more people to understand the value of the West Lake. In doing so, the young generation becomes more interested in traditional culture and its protection.

Summary

West Lake of Hangzhou, with its unique natural scenery, brilliant culture, and perfect convergence of the ancient and modern worlds, has become a treasure of the global culture. A trip to the West Lake not only means a visual feast, but also a good chance to dive deeper into the Chinese civilization. The doubled effort of protection and development will make the West Lake a better place, attracting more tourists from all over the world with its unique beauty.
