Ringed by hills on three sides and the city on the fourth, West Lake is known for scenes such as Spring Dawn on Su Causeway and Lingering Snow on Broken Bridge, with isles and causeways dotting the water through the seasons.

Visitors can stroll the Su and Bai causeways, take a boat, or climb Leifeng Pagoda for views; the shore also holds Yue Fei's Temple, Gushan and museums.
