West Lake: Gu Shan Island
by cheezecake_deli
Gu Shan ("Solitary Hill"), the only natural island in West Lake, is a wonderful retreat, connected to mainland by Bai Causeway and Xiling Bridge. It is hilly, and its hilltop provides breathtaking views of the lake. On the island are some interesting sights, including the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, Xiling Seal Engravers' Society compound, and the Autumn Moon of a Calm Lake pavilion (built by the Qianlong emperor). Also on Gu Shan is Louwailou, a famous restaurant. Boats for rent also depart from the island. Entry to the island is free.
