West Lake: Lying on the west edge of Hangzhou city, the beautiful West Lake covers a total area of 6 square kilometres with an average depth of 1.5 metres. Embraced by mountainous hills on three sides, the Lake contains glittering blue water with Baidi and Sudi Causeways lying calmly in it. Here, one's poetic sentiments are inspired. The surrounding hills miraculously shaped peaks and serene forests and springs, providing scenes to supplement those of the Lake.

Yellow Dragon Cave: Yellow Dragon Cave is nestled among the dense forest and tall bamboos at the foot of Qixia Hill north of West Lake. It is a scenic spot known for its artistically arranged rockeries and beautifully pebbled pools. As one of the New Ten views of the West Lake, it is called Yellow Dragon Cave Dressed in Green. The gardening of the spot is characterized by the desired concentration in this limited space of flowing water and clear pools, pavilions and verandas, pines and bamboos. Within the garden green pines and bamboos, it is perhaps the best place to enjoy bamboos. In recent years, Yellow Dragon Cave has introduced a human theme of folk culture. The theme features LUCK, which is reflected through such activities as Guide to Luck, Congeniality, Auspiciousness, Inquiry about Your Marriage Fates and Earn Good Luck. Complementing the theme are local operas and the string and bamboos – wind music of the South. Graceful performances and picturesque music present beautiful folk tales about LUCK, including the God of Marriage and Yellow Dragon, and the eternal love between Yellow Dragon Son and his Bride.
