🌟Highlights: The Three Pools Mirroring the Moon is one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake in Hangzhou, China. It is the largest island in West Lake, covering an area of 60,000 square meters, also known as Xiaoyingzhou. There are three stone pagodas on the southern lake of the island, each 2.5 meters high, with 2 meters above the water surface. They consist of a base, a cylindrical body, a canopy, a hexagonal pavilion, and a gourd-shaped top. The pagoda body is spherical and hollow, with five small round holes around it, decorated with relief patterns. The stone pagodas were originally boundary pagodas built by Su Shi in the Song Dynasty and were rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, evolving into landscape pagodas. On clear nights, the lanterns lit inside the pagodas reflect the moonlight, creating a particularly beautiful scene, known as 'One moon mirrored in each of the three pools, one wave casting a circular shadow'. 🕐Opening hours: Open all year round, daily from 07:00 to 18:00 Ticket price🎫🎫🎫: 45.00 yuan (including West Lake boat ride and Three Pools Mirroring the Moon Island ticket)

After several visits to Hangzhou, I finally went to Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. You need to buy a boat ticket to get to this island, or you can take a small boat to view it from a distance. This island is shaped like the Chinese character '田'. There are three stone pagodas built in the southern lake of the island. It is said that on a moonlit night, the lake surface will reflect many moons. The small island has bridges and pavilions, with a scenic view at every step, making it perfect for photography enthusiasts.

I found the origin of the character 'Hang', and you can also watch the most beautiful sunset. Surprisingly, I found the origin of the character 'Hang' in Hangzhou here, and you can also watch the most beautiful sunset. The right half of the Hangzhou logo, the character 'Kang', implies one of Hangzhou's famous attractions, 'Three Pools Mirroring the Moon'. Also known as Xiaoyingzhou, as one of the ten sceneries of West Lake, it is known as 'the best scenery of West Lake'. The origin of 'Three Pools Mirroring the Moon' is also extremely elegant. Three stone towers are like three gourds growing on the sparkling water. And there are five evenly distributed small round holes. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people light candles in the round holes of the stone towers, paste the holes with thin paper, and many small moons will be reflected in the water.

It is very lively inside, but it is not as noisy as other night markets, full of barbecue smoke, and it is very comfortable to stroll around here. The dinner was at a barbecue restaurant on Wulin Night Market, called Le House Barbecue. The store is quite large, with a theme of local tyrants, which is very interesting.
