Hangzhou Xuefang | A paradise by the West Lake

Hangzhou Xuefang | A paradise by the West Lake||| Xuefang, a thatched pavilion built by the water. It is a few thatched pavilions I stumbled upon in the Santai Dreamland Scenic Area, with a forest of begonias in front of the pavilion and a clear green pool behind it, quiet and picturesque. At first sight of it, there is a sense of seclusion, sitting here, it is hard not to be moved by the original beauty here. Standing on the Xijin Bridge, you can see a few thatched pavilions by a green pool. At first, I didn't know what this attraction was, so I looked for a way in. About 100 meters ahead, I saw a left turn on an inconspicuous path, so I went in regardless, and I really got to the grass pavilion along the path, and the plaque in the pavilion wrote two big characters Xuefang. As for why the thatched pavilion is called Xuefang, there is no way to verify it, I don't know, maybe it is because the winter snow covers the grass pavilion, and it looks like a white painting boat from a distance. In addition to Xuefang, there are several thatched huts of different shapes, which make people experience the wild interest of 'green bamboo hat, green raincoat, slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return'. Such a shaped thatched cottage, looking at the whole West Lake, you can only see it on Santai Mountain. Xuefang is surrounded by dense woods, and you can't see this hidden paradise-like beauty on Yanggong Dike at all. Looking at the Xijin Bridge on Bapanling from Xuefang, isn't it beautiful. These thatched pavilions are for tourists to rest, living here really has a bit of Tao Gong's 'picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence' mood.
