Hangzhou Western Lake

Long ago, before the Mongol invasions, Hangzhou was the capital of Chinese emperors. Imperial gardens included Western Lake, or Xihu, a tranquil and blissful place at the time. There is no trace of any imperial palaces now, but the lake is there and it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in China. Crowds of Chinese tourists invade the place and look for a trace of that famous blissful tranquility.
