A diary : A Visit to Hangzhou

On 4th of July last year, I, together with my parents, paid a visit
toHangzhou, the most beautiful city inChina. Of the places I visited
there, theWesternLakeand the Leifeng Pagoda which are closely related
to the Chinese legend “The Tale of the White Snake” interested me most.
TheWesternLakecovers an area of about 300 square km. On the bank
of the lake, there are green meadows, tall trees with green leaves
and beautiful flowers with different colors. The water of the lake is
clear, almost without any pollution. People can see golden fish
swimming freely in the lake. On the water surface, passengers are
cruising either in yachts, or boats with different shapes. On one side
of the bank we saw Duan Qiao, the so calledBrokenBridge
where according to the Chinese legend, the ancient Chinese lovers the
White Snake and Xu-xian met and were engaged.
The Leifeng Pagoda is located by the side of theWesternLakeand
was built about 1000 years ago on a terrace of about 30 meters high.
The pagoda itself is about 60 meters tall and is in the shape of octagon.
It has 8 flying eaves, each is covered with red glazed tiles which are
shining in the sun. Inside the pagoda, the pillars and beams are
all marvelously gilded and the inner walls are painted with beautiful
pictures. All these pictures are telling the story that these two places
are closely related to the story of the White Snake.
I was amazed by these two places of beautiful scenery and ancient
relics. If I have time this year I’ll go there to visit the places again.
