As the poem said, "The sun shines into the clouds" , "mountain temple in the month to find the Osmanthus" ... between the mountains and waters, always scattered hazy drizzle, a boat, a pavilion is the impression of Hangzhou. Even to the high-rise today, it still maintains a fairy aura, everywhere is a piece of lakes and rivers and trees.
