Three Pools Reflecting the Moon: It is the famous symbol of the West Lake in Hangzhou.The three lighthouse-shaped pagodas on the lake near the Xiaoying Island were built during the famous writer Su Dongbo as the Northern Song Dynasty official in Hangzhou. In the Ming Dynasty, the pagodas were all rebuilt. Each of them is 2m in height and distributed as angles of an equilateral triangle with every side 62m in length. It is said the pagodas to repel the evil spirits that may be hiding in the bottom of the West Lake. There is a Hangzhou folk legend told that the three pagodas are the three legs of a reversed incense burner, which the body of the burner is below the surface with a big snakehead (a kind of West Lake fish) hooked on it.
Xiling Seal-Engravers Society : It is the earliest and most influential association of artists studying on inscription sculpture. And now the organization has become an international group of people interested in printing and painting. Built at the set of the hill, it mingles the human art with the natural scenery. The layout is extremely exquisite.
