By Fat man who eats and walks around |

It was already past four o'clock, and a group of old, weak, women and children were shouting that they couldn't go any further. Now it seemed that they could only take the bus to Hangzhou Baiwei in Lakeside.



It happened that Huagang Fish Viewing Park was just in front, so I took my friends there and played for a while. The children found the excitement of the day - feeding the ducks, and they immediately came back to life.



After walking around for a while, mainly around the red fish pond, I left Huagang Fish Viewing from the side of Yanggong Dike and waited for the bus at the bus stop.



There were so many people waiting for the bus that I had to wait for 3 buses before I could get on one—and it wasn’t a direct bus.



Flower Harbor Fish Viewing is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. It is located on the west side of the southern section of Su Causeway. It has five areas: Red Fish Pond, Peony Garden, Flower Harbor, Large Lawn, and Dense Forest.

Across the street from Taiziwan Park, one of the most beautiful places in Hangzhou West Lake is the famous "Ten Scenes of West Lake" - Huagang Fish Watching. The park is located west of the southern section of Su Causeway and is a great place to watch fish in West Lake. In spring, the flowers are red, the willows are green, the birds are singing, and the forest is quiet, making it a good place for spring outings and flower viewing.

Actually, I have always neglected Huagangguanyu because it is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake and is often visited by tourist groups. Since it is close to Yuhu Bay and Taiziwan Park, I included it in the flower viewing itinerary. Unexpectedly, Huagangguanyu brought me many surprises.

If you like quietness like me, then I strongly recommend that you enter the park from the south gate of Huagangguanyu, which is the gate closest to Taiziwan Park, and your journey will be smooth.

Huagangguanyu is a scenic spot featuring flowers, harbor and fish. It is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. It is located on the west side of the southern section of Su Causeway.

The whole park is divided into five scenic areas: Red Fish Pond, Peony Garden, Flower Harbor, Large Lawn and Dense Forest. It faces Leifeng Pagoda and Jingci Temple across Su Causeway.



The Red Fish Pond is located in the south of the central part of the garden and is the central area for sightseeing in the whole garden. The bank of the pond is naturally winding, and there is an island formed by piled soil in the pond. A curved bridge is built over the pond. When you lean on the bridge and look down, you can see thousands of golden-scaled red fish swimming in groups, splashing and playing in the water.

The Flower Harbor and Fish Viewing on Su Causeway is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. It is a scenic spot composed of flowers, harbor and fish. The park has red fish pond, peony garden, peony garden, Yanggong Causeway Pavilion, jungle area and other scenic spots, covering an area of ​​20 hectares! No tickets are required here, and there are many tourists, especially the red fish pond. Qianlong once wrote a poem: "Flower Harbor flows under Huajia Mountain, flowers are on the fish's body and fish suck flowers."

It was still quite early after we finished dinner at Zhiweiguan on Yanggong Dike, and we found the entrance to Huagangguanyu Park right next to it, so we went in for a walk.

I remember that the last time I came here seemed to be many years ago. I have been here more than once, but the feeling is different every time I come here. After all, the park is large and I only walk through a part of it every time. This time, we came out of the gate at Su Causeway. There was a cruise ship at the door, but we didn't take it.

"Flower Harbor at the foot of Huajia Mountain, flowers are like fish, and fish are sucking flowers"

------乾隆(清)



Huagangguanyu is a scenic spot featuring flowers, harbor and fish. It is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake and is located on the west side of the southern section of Su Causeway.

In the 38th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Emperor Xuanye visited West Lake and inscribed "Watching Fish at Huagang" on a stone tablet built beside the fish pond. Later, when Emperor Qianlong visited West Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, he inscribed a poem on the back of the tablet. The tablet is divided into two sides, positive and negative, and the words were written by Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, the grandfather and grandson, respectively. This is the only one in the history of the Forest of Steles in my country.

Huagang Fish Watching. Located 197 meters northwest of Su Causeway Yingbo Bridge, between Xiaonan Lake and Xili Lake, the area is about 0.25 hectares. With flower viewing and fish watching as the landscape theme, you can experience the vitality of nature. In spring, the fallen petals are colorful, presenting a beautiful scene of "flowers on the fish's body and fish sucking flowers". There is actually nothing special about watching fish, but the peacocks on the roadside are amazing.

By Smooth sailing |

It is a super beautiful place to enjoy the flowers. If you want to take pictures, choose to come after 4 pm. It is better than the pictures and is not inferior to Quyuan Fenghe.

By xi-xi |

You can feed the fish here. There are really a lot of fish. Many children brought bread and other things to feed them.

By Star Traveler |

The water in the fish pond next to the stone tablet of Huagranite Fish Watching Outside is not very clear, but the scenery behind it is very beautiful. You must go in, go in!

By Spectral Fujimoto |

A quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, with the charm of West Lake. A small-scale tour to avoid the crowds.

By I am a cloud |

At the end of Su Causeway is "Huagang Watching Fish". This scenic spot is quite lively and many tour groups will slow down here to give detailed explanations.

By Tang Shaolong |

One of the top ten scenic spots in West Lake, it is worth visiting when passing by. There are many goldfish. Don't forget to bring some steamed buns to feed the fish.

By Slow down the journey |

From the entrance of Prince Bay Park, not far away is Huagang Fish Viewing, one of the famous attractions of West Lake.

By Your smile is good weather |

Oh my god, here it comes again. Didn’t I upload it once today?

I went there in my junior year. Hangzhou is a must-visit place.

After passing Fengyu Pavilion, we arrived at Su Causeway. In history, when Su Dongpo was the governor of Hangzhou, he dredged and built a dike for West Lake. Later generations named this dike "Su Causeway" in his memory. The famous Su Causeway Chunxiao and Huagang Guanyu are both on Su Causeway.

"The pond is as green as a mirror, and koi fish swim in the waves." A large group of koi fish swim around the waterside...

By Victor Sweet Dumpling |

The beauty of the gardens at Huagang is different from that in Yangzhou and Suzhou, and its artistic conception is more far-reaching. Unfortunately, it is winter, which is not the best season to watch fish at Huagang.

By Austin |

Jumping into this scene from the crowds of people on the Su Causeway, it instantly became much quieter. But there weren't many fish to be seen. It's really not suitable for viewing in this season and weather.

By Mammoth |

There are too many people here, the scenery is average, there is nothing special, if you bring children, you can come here for a walk, otherwise there is no need

Huagangguanyu is located on the edge of West Lake, surrounded by water on three sides. It is a large park! It is said that the words on the stone tablet were written by Emperor Kangxi himself.

Stopping and walking along the way, admiring the beautiful scenery of West Lake and taking the photos you like, this life is so comfortable~~ But you must remember to spray mosquito repellent, otherwise you will be eaten by mosquitoes!!!

By An Pu Pu |

This is a place where you can take close-up photos of the beauty of West Lake.

Very suitable for taking photos in skirts

The ground is full of little sparrows

The lake is full of small fish

I feel happy after watching it

By Yukidoctor |

Maybe the fish are tired at noon, or they are too full from being fed by tourists, so no matter how much food is thrown to them, they are not interested. You can take a battery car via Su Causeway to Huagang to watch the fish, which costs 10 yuan per person.

More than 20 years later, Hangzhou has changed a lot, but except for some newly renovated pavilions and the addition of some cafes, it still looks the same as I remember. The trees are just older and more dense. It takes ten years to grow trees, and a hundred years to cultivate people.

The water of West Lake is never crystal clear, and the scenery of West Lake is always hazy, like flowers in the water. The so-called misty rain of West Lake is actually the gray scenery of West Lake.

But the essence of West Lake is all in this gray artistic conception, surrounded by weeping willows and green leaves, the artistic conception is absolutely amazing, no wonder the emperors in ancient times liked Nanxun. The lotus flowers here bloom in mid-June, and the scenery becomes even more beautiful afterwards.

Because the environment is so good, there are many small animals such as squirrels and mandarin ducks. You can often see the warm scene of a mother duck taking her ducklings for a walk, or two mandarin ducks relying on each other.

Because there are no natural enemies, tourists are also enthusiastic about feeding the fish. The fish here are really fat, and it is not surprising that one is as long and thick as a calf. The number of fish in the water is estimated to be tens of thousands of fry alone.

But you can't feed them without permission, fish have special feed.

By Peach Oolong Tea |

The fish watching in Huagang is just average, but the scenery in the garden is still nice.

By Xu Xiang's perspective |

It's a very ordinary place. As I said before, too many people ruin the beauty.

By swallow |

Huagang Fish Viewing is one of the must-see attractions in West Lake. It is worth a visit. There are many fish in it and you can feed the fish.

By Curious Cat Zhao Zhao |

I didn't plan to come in June, but the weekends in April and May were almost all rainy, so I didn't dare to come during the two short holidays. I don't know if it's because the clouds are too thick or it's close to Grain in Ear, but I always feel that this time I am full of the richness of midsummer. I have always known that the lawns by the West Lake are well maintained, but I feel more and more lush. Peonies and peonies have already ended, and I should still be able to see some roses half a month earlier, but this full of greenery, on the contrary, highlights the beauty of the red fish in the pond. There are many places to watch fish by the West Lake, but when you come here, you can't help but check in by the pond and express your non-fish sigh.

Huagangguanyu is also a popular tourist attraction. Maybe I am a solitary person by nature, so I only visited some remote places. It’s a pity that the West Lake is so beautiful, with a true 360-degree view.

By Ivy8166 |

I like the scenery very much. It really inspires me to write poems. No wonder writers like this place.

Continue south to Yingbo Bridge and enter the "Huagang Guanyu" scenic area on the bridge, one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. The scenic spot monument is not far from the East Gate. The four characters "Huagang Guanyu" engraved on the monument are the handwriting of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The traditional Chinese character "鱼" should have four dots at the bottom, but in Chinese characters, three dots represent water and four dots represent fire. Fish are born in water and die in fire. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi changed the four dots at the bottom of the character "鱼" in the inscription to three dots, intending to let the fish live happily in the water forever, to show the emperor's grace and benefit all things.

It's just a tourist attraction. There are flowers and fish here. I think there are a lot of hydrangeas planted here. I also like hydrangeas very much. You can see Leifeng Pagoda from a distance. It's okay.

I took a quick look. Because it was almost noon and the temperature was 36 or 37 degrees, there were still a lot of people. You can find a bicycle or take a sightseeing bus from Huagangguanyu to Sudi. If you walk, it will be very tiring, but riding a bicycle means you have to walk on the main road outside, but it does not affect the view.

By 1983 |

Some tourists were feeding the fish, which attracted the fish to compete for the bait. The scene was quite spectacular, with people and fish getting along well and having a great time.

By Xiaojiu and her seven sisters traveled |

Compared with other scenic spots, you can always find a quiet place suitable for taking photos, daydreaming or quietly enjoying the scenery.

By Dead young man hahaha |

It was actually quite boring. The fish were not as big and red as those in our school pond... But I took a picture of two wild ducks, and it suddenly became lively. The scenic spot is near Su Causeway, so you can take a walk and have a look.

By Watching the clouds roll in and out |

I have been to Huagang to watch fish several times and just passed by again.

The water in the pond is turbid under the big cards, so people are bidding on the cards instead of the fish.

Sitting by the lake and enjoying the breeze is like being in a painting. At this moment, I envy the ancient Jiangnan women, who were lazy and painted their eyebrows, and went boating on the lake. Isn’t it a happy thing?

It was like a big park, with beautiful scenery everywhere. But there were elementary school students on a spring outing, so there were people everywhere.

There are not many flowers in the "Flower Harbor" and the fish in the water are average, but the park still has towering old trees, colorful flowers and green willows, and a lot of tourists. The grass is full of people, and many newlyweds take their wedding photos here.

I personally don't think Huagang Fish Viewing is very interesting. First of all, this attraction is not very distinctive. Although it is called fish viewing, there are not many fish in fact, and it is not pleasing to the eye, so it is rather boring.

The red characters on the front of the stone tablet of Huagang Guanyu were written by Emperor Kangxi, and the white characters on the back were written by Emperor Qianlong. The Red Jade Pond on the side of the Leaping Fish Stone is where Huagang Guanyu is located. There is also Jiangzhuang in the Garden in the Garden, the villa of Nanjing bibliophile Jiang Su'an, but the house structure is quite similar to the former residence of Jiang's family in Xikou. After strolling for about an hour, I came out and went to the white stone tablet on Su Causeway.

Occasionally you can see a cruise ship halfway through the journey. Take a boat to slowly tour the West Lake and get off at the pier near Leifeng Pagoda.

Huagang Fish Viewing is on the south side of Su Causeway. It is a 10-minute walk from Nanshan Road into Su Causeway, or you can get there from Three Pools Mirroring the Moon to Huagang Fish Viewing Pier. The scenery of Huagang Fish Viewing is generally good. However, it should be noted that you should try not to go there on cloudy or rainy days, because the water in the pond is too turbid at that time and you may not be able to see the fish. If you are a photography enthusiast, try to bring a CPL polarizing filter, which can eliminate the reflection on the water surface and allow you to take clearer photos of the fish. Try not to feed the fish, because the fish in it have already eaten enough. Well, that's about it.

By I only care about you |

The most noteworthy thing in the entire scenic area is the four big characters written by Emperor Kangxi himself, "Huagang Guanyu". If there is a tour guide nearby, you can go up and listen to the story.

By Kathy Lee |

Huagangguanyu is a garden park. If it is spring, there should be many flowers in full bloom.

There are more green plants during this season.

Since it is a free attraction, there are many people bringing groups to visit, so we decisively gave up going in and walked around the entrance.

By Sh1na |

The attractions in the park are easy to find. Go to the most crowded places.

It was winter when we went there. There were no fish to be seen at Huagang Fish Viewing, but there were some flowers. Haha, the tour guide said that the weather was too cold and the koi were all underwater and couldn't come out.

It is worth visiting. The scenery is very beautiful in spring. You can play for a long time, but there are a lot of people.

By Clear Moon |

There is a small pond with many carps, and the children are happily feeding the fish. The greenery here is very good, and there is a small pond with cherry blossom petals falling on the water, which is quite charming.

By Lu Aben 🎈 |

There is a small park opposite here. It is really beautiful in April. You can take a hand-rowed boat on the West Lake here. You can join together for 310 yuan. It can seat up to 6 people. You can see the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon and the beautiful scenery on the lake. I personally think this is the best place to take a boat. In addition to the beautiful scenery on the lake, you must always see the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. Boats from other docks cannot be seen, which is a bit regrettable. The boating brother is also very cool, and he often tells jokes, which is more detailed than what the tour guide said~

By scsc_xoxo |

The Huagang Fish Viewing is the one I am least interested in.

I have been here for spring and autumn outings more than a dozen times since I was a child.

People are playing with fish on the bridge

Fish in water don't want to pay attention to you

But I didn't expect that there would be changes

Red Fish Pond moved to a new location

Connected to Sudi

The surrounding scenery is much better

There are also peony gardens, etc.

I think the flowers will be very beautiful when they bloom in full bloom.

Of course, you can't miss watching fish when you come to Huagang. As one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake, the Red Fish Pond is located in the south of the central part of the park. It is the center of the whole park. From a distance, you can see large groups of red fish shaking their heads and tails in the water. If you are lucky, the koi will jump out of the water. In addition to watching fish, there are many other places to visit in Huagang, including the Peony Garden, Peony Garden, Cangshan Pavilion, Jiangzhuang, etc.

By /tx/tp Old Naughty Boy |

Take a taxi to the "Huagang Guanyu" scenic spot. This is a park and no entrance fee is charged. It can be said that this is a more exquisite scenic spot beside the West Lake.

As we walked, we arrived at Yanggongdi Huagang to watch fish. The water was still not very clear, not as clear as the one I saw at Baotu Spring.
