Wandering in Gushan, Xiling Seal Society leaves its traces at the most beautiful corners

We took a rowing boat on the West Lake. The master discussed with us that the final stop would be Louwailou, so we came to Gushan~

▸ The first stop was the "Xiling Seal Society". Passing through the white wall hole door, it seemed like entering another world, cold and quiet.

After bypassing the stele corridor, you can see the entrance to the mountain. The sun shines through the leaves and casts mottled light and shadows on the stone door engraved with the four characters "Xiling Seal Society". After going up the stone steps to another flat land, you can see the West Lake from a distance at halfway up the mountain, or you can sit in the Four-view Pavilion and enjoy the West Lake from another angle through the window frame.

▸ The second stop is the "most beautiful corner". The bend of Gushan Road facing the lake unfolds a magnificent scene of "the end of the road is the sea" in front of you. The sycamores, willows and benches on both sides of the road together form a very cinematic atmosphere.

▸ The last stop of this trip to Gushan is "Xiling Bridge". Walking on the stone bridge, you can see the Broken Bridge in the east and Leifeng Pagoda in the west. The summer wind brings the fragrance of lotus under the bridge.

Due to the tight time, we only visited these places. In fact, Gushan is far more than these places. Zhejiang Provincial Museum, West Lake Art Museum, Pinghu Qiuyue, Fanghe Pavilion... are all worth visiting.
