Three Pools Mirroring the Moon– West Lake’s Crown Jewel

#chinatravel

🏆 Why It Reigns Supreme
As the largest of West Lake’s three islands, this UNESCO masterpiece creates a magical paradox:
✓ Lake within a lake – intricate waterways mirroring the sky
✓ Island within an island – a circular causeway framing the pagodas
✓ Garden within a garden – 10+ classical pavilions hidden among willows

💐 Current Highlight: Water Lily Wonderland
The ponds now explode with dreamlike nymphaeas:
- Cotton-candy pinks
- Moonlit whites
- Royal purples
- Sunset reds
(Peak viewing: May-September)
