What travelers say:

20230924 Morning: 1. Yongjin Pool is located in Yongjin Park in the West Lake of Hangzhou, 5A Scenic Area. 2. Yongjin Park is named for Yongjin Pool. Wu Yue Qingtai during the five generations of the ten kingdoms for three years (936), and the second generation of Wu Yue Wang Qian Yuanyu was in the process of leading the West Lake into Hangzhou City. Here, the name of the pool is derived from the allusion "Golden Niu Out of Water", that is, the ancient name of West Lake is Jinniu Lake, which is passed down in the Han Dynasty. Every time the West Lake dried up, there were golden cattle, spit water filled the lake, officials to please the emperor, drained water to catch cattle, and spit water under the anger of the cattle. There is: ① West Lake Poetry Stele Gallery: The length is not long, and the number of calligraphy works is not too much. ② Yongjin Square: The middle is a World Heritage Site, a bronze green bronze money-shaped sculpture. ③ Yongjinmen Site: One of the west gates of the ancient city of Hangzhou, Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty in 28 years (1158) strengthened the expansion and changed the name to Fengyumen, and changed it back to its original name at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Forty years (1701), Kangxi Emperor Kangxi took a boat tour of the West Lake from the water gate, demolished in 1913, and there is currently a famous stone monument. ④ Yongjin Pool: The purple and red lotus flowers in the pool are in full bloom, and a golden cow on the west side is exposed to the water; On the east side, there is a sculpture of Zhang Shun, who is a 30-ranked star in the four famous books "Water Margins", nicknamed "White Strip in the Waves", in the novel, he plans to sneak into the city from the Yongjinmen Water Gate to meet outside, unfortunately was shot by a random arrow outside the Yongjinmen.
