<h2>【West Lake Scenic Area】With West Lake as the core, it has 5 national key cultural relics protection units, 35 provincial cultural relics protection units, 25 municipal cultural relics protection units, and 39 cultural relics protection sites and various special museums, among which the main ones are the Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake and the New Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake. West Lake was formerly known as Wulin Water, Qiantang Lake, Mingsheng Lake, Jinniu Lake, etc. It is surrounded by mountains on the north, west and south, and the urban area on the east. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a city on one side.</h2><h2><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0104k1200099w7s0jC238_Z_1000_0.jpg" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="562"></h2><h2><br></h2><h2>【Lingyin Temple】was first built in the third year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (328 AD), with a history of more than 1,600 years. It is the earliest ancient temple in Hangzhou. It is located in the mountains of West Lake in Hangzhou, with Beigao Peak on its back and Feilai Peak on its front. The two peaks are flat, surrounded by green forests, birds singing in the mountains, and clouds floating in the mist. The founder of the temple was Huili, a monk from Western India. At the beginning of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he traveled from the Central Plains to Zhejiang. When he arrived at the mountains of Wulin (now Hangzhou), he saw a peak and sighed, "This is a small ridge of Lingjiu Mountain in Central India. I don't know when it flew here? When the Buddha was alive, most of them were hidden by immortals." So he built a temple behind the peak and named it Lingyin.</h2><h2><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/10090n000000e2tjiAAF1_Z_1000_0.jpg" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="664"></h2><h2><br></h2><h2>【Sunset over Leifeng Pagoda】is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. Its name was first seen in the poem "Zhongfeng (Leifeng)" by Lin Bu, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty: "A path separates Zhongfeng, winding up into the clouds. The sunset is seen in the village in front, and the autumn waves are heard across the bank. The tall pines are ancient and green, and the sparse bamboos are faintly fragrant. I love the howling of Su Men, and miss the virtuous and unique." Later, Ma Yuan and others from the Southern Song Dynasty court painting academy painted ten landscape paintings of West Lake with their own signatures. Among them, Chen Qingbo painted a landscape painting of Leifeng Pagoda, inscribed "Sunset over Leifeng Pagoda", also known as "Sunset over Leifeng Pagoda". Whenever the setting sun shines in the west, the shadow of the pagoda is across the sky, and the pavilions are golden and green. This landscape is consistent with the name of the inscription, and it has become one of the ten famous scenic spots of West Lake, "Sunset over Leifeng Pagoda", which has been passed down for thousands of years.</h2><h2>Literati and poets of all ages have sung praises of "Leifeng Sunset", such as the poem by Wang Ying of the Ming Dynasty: "The dusk fades into the distant forest, and the chaotic mountains surround half of the lake in the shadow. The pagoda will please the tourists, and hang a touch of gold on the setting sun."</h2><h2><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100a10000000pohju6025_Z_1000_0.jpg" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="664"></h2>
