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.
