Ink painting of West Lake, a poetic scroll

Stepping into the West Lake in Hangzhou, it feels like walking into a slowly unfolding thousand-year-old ink painting, where every inch of the scenery is tinged with the poetry and tenderness of time. 🌞In the early morning, the lake surface is covered with mist like gauze, lingering lightly, shrouding the West Lake in a dreamlike atmosphere. The mountains in the distance are looming in the mist, just like the eyebrows and eyes of a beautiful woman, with a bit of hazy shyness. The Broken Bridge is like a white jade belt, spanning the lake. Although there is no romantic encounter between Xu Xian and White Snake, the misty fog adds a bit of mysterious charm. Standing on the bridge and looking at the lake, I saw the lotus leaves trembling slightly and dewdrops rolling on the leaves, as if telling about last night's beautiful dream. 🌞🌞As the sunlight grew brighter, the mist gradually dissipated, and the West Lake revealed her bright face. The lake water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the weeping willows along the shore. The slender willow branches hang down over the lake, swaying gently in the breeze, like a girl's hair, stirring the heartstrings of the lake. On the shore, the flowers are in full bloom, red like fire, pink like clouds, and white like snow. They set off the green trees and form a colorful picture. [Awesome][Awesome][Awesome]Walk along the lake and you will arrive at Su Causeway. On Su Causeway, six bridges are connected, like a rainbow lying on the waves. As you stroll through the garden, the breeze blows on your face, bringing you the fragrance of flowers and plants. The peach blossoms on the embankment are in full bloom, the whole tree is bright red, just like the clouds in the sky. Under the peach trees, tourists stopped to admire or take photos, and laughter echoed in the air. The West Lake at this moment is like a cheerful piece of music, with every note leaping with vitality. [Cute][Cute]At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the lake, making the waves sparkle like countless pieces of gold. Leifeng Pagoda appears particularly solemn and majestic under the reflection of the setting sun. It stands quietly by the lake, witnessing the thousand-year changes of West Lake. The West Lake at this moment is like an affectionate poem, every word of which is full of the vicissitudes and heaviness of time. 🌙🌙🌙As night falls and the lights come on, the West Lake puts on another charming look. On the lake, there are many cruise ships with bright lights on. Their lights shine brightly with the lights on the shore, making the West Lake look particularly dazzling. The musical fountain dances to the melodious music. The water columns are sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes slow, and sometimes fast. Under the reflection of the lights, it changes into colorful colors, like a dream. [Smart][Smart][Smart][Smart]Hangzhou West Lake is so beautiful no matter when or from which angle you appreciate it. She is a treasure bestowed by nature to mankind, a poem that can never be finished reading, and a painting that can never be boring to look at.
