Walking Hangzhou's West Lake (Day 2)
Walking Hangzhou's West Lake / 西湖 on day 2 included:
- Hiking Precious Stone Hill or Baoshi Mountain / 宝石山
- Lianheng Memorial Hall / 连横纪念馆
- Yue Fei Temple / 岳王庙
The West Lake is a freshwater lake in Hangzhou, China. It is divided into five sections by three causeways. There are numerous temples, pagodas, gardens, and artificial islands within the lake.
West Lake has influenced poets and painters throughout Chinese history for its natural beauty and historic relics, and it has also been among the most important sources of inspiration for Chinese garden designers. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, described as having influenced garden design in the rest of China as well as Japan and Korea over the centuries and reflecting an idealized fusion between humans and nature.
Traditionally, there are ten best-known scenic spots on the West Lake, each remembered by a four-character epithet. Collectively, they are known as the Ten Scenes of West Lake (10 Scenic Spots in West Lake 西湖十景). Each is marked by a stele with an epithet written in the calligraphy of the Qianlong Emperor. They are:
1) Dawn on the Su Causeway in Spring (蘇堤春曉)
2) Curved Yard and Lotus Pool in Summer (曲院風荷)
3) Moon over the Peaceful Lake in Autumn (平湖秋月)
4) Remnant Snow on the Bridge in Winter (斷橋殘雪)
5) Leifeng Pagoda in the Sunset (雷峰夕照)
6) Two Peaks Piercing the Clouds (雙峰插雲)
7) Orioles Singing in the Willows (柳浪聞鶯)
8) Fish Viewing at the Flower Pond (花港觀魚)
9) Three Ponds Mirroring the Moon (三潭印月)
10) Evening Bell Ringing at the Nanping Hill (南屏晚鐘)
攝影師塔可花10年尋遍《詩經》裡的中國 Photographer Taca Spends A Decade Searching for the China in the Books of Odes
80後攝影師塔可，大學在中央美術學院學藝術，後來轉學移居美國，開始攝影。在國外，他關注的重心反而一直在國內，遍讀古籍。 2008年，他花了一整年研究《詩經》，把書裡提到的古地名一一對應到現代，連接成一張路線圖，又用4年重訪了2500年前《詩經》先民生活的遺跡，還用相機把這些地方記錄下來。
Taca, a post-80 photographer, studied art in the Central Academy of Fine Arts and then transferred to another school and moved to the U.S. where he started photographing. Although living in a foreign country, he paid much attention to his hometown, reading lots of ancient Chinese books. In 2008, he read up on the Book of Odes (Shijing) for a whole year, making one-to-one correspondence between the places in the ancient book and their modern positions and drawing a map. Then he spent 4 years visiting the ancient relics referred to in the Book of Odes and recording them with camera.

The Drum Tower of Xi'an in Shaanxi province of China
The Drum Tower of Xi'an (西安鼓楼), located in the heart of Xi'an in Shaanxi province of China, along with the Bell Tower is a symbol of the city. Erected in 1380 during the early Ming Dynasty, it stands towering above the city center and offers incredible view of Xi'an.
The Drum Tower got its name from the huge drum located within the building. In contrast to the Bell Tower, where bell was stricken at dawn, drum was beat at sunset to indicate the end of the day.

Nanjing
Nanjing ( listen; Chinese: 南京; pinyin: Nánjīng; Wade–Giles: Nan-ching) is the capital of Jiangsu province in Eastern China. It has a prominent place in Chinese history and culture, having been the capital of China for several periods. Its present name means Southern Capital and was widely romanized as Nankin and Nanking until the pinyin language reform, after which Nanjing was gradually adopted as the standard spelling of the city's name in most languages that use the Roman alphabet.
Located in the lower Yangtze River drainage basin and Yangtze River Delta economic zone, Nanjing has long been one of China's most important cities. Having been the capital city of six different dynasties since 3 A.D., it is recognized as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China. It was the capital of Wu during the Three Kingdoms Period, and the capital of the Republic of China prior to its flight to Taiwan during the Chinese Civil War. Nanjing is also one of the fifteen sub-provincial cities in the People's Republic of China's administrative structure, enjoying jurisdictional and economic autonomy only slightly less than that of a province. Nanjing has long been a national centre of education, research, transport networks and tourism. The city will host the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.

Lion Forest Garden Tour / 狮子林园 / 獅子林園
The Lion Forest Garden or Lion Grove Garden / 狮子林园 / 獅子林園 is a garden located at 23 Yuanlin Road in Pingjiang District, Suzhou. The garden is famous for the large and labyrinthine grotto of taihu rocks at its center. The name of the garden is derived from the shape of these rocks, which are said to resemble lions. The garden is recognized with other classical gardens in Suzhou as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Of all the famous rock-gardens in history, only one has survived. This is the so-called 'Lion Garden' in Suzhou . The Lion Grove Garden was built in 1342 during the Yuan Dynasty by a Zen Buddhist monk, Wen Tianru, in memory of his teacher Abbot Zhongfeng. At that time the garden was part of the Bodhi Orthodox Monastery (菩提正宗). The name of the garden is derived from the lion-shaped taihu rocks, which in turn were built as a reference to the symbolic lion in the Lion's Roar Sutra. The name also refers to the Lion Peak of Mount Tianmu in Lin'an City, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, where Abbot Zhongfeng attained nirvana. At that time, the garden was 6,670 m2 and was covered in rock and bamboo. After Wen Tianru's death, the garden fell into disrepair, but in 1589 another Buddhist monk, Mingxing, rebuilt the garden. The magistrate of Hengzhou (zh) bought the garden, and his son Huang Xi rebuilt the garden in 1771. The garden's name was then changed to the 'Garden of Five Pines'. Starting in 1850, the garden fell into disrepair once again. In 1917, Bei Runsheng purchased the garden and finished the restoration in 1926. Many buildings and rocks in the garden have been preserved since the restoration. According to official signs posted in the garden, the Bei family donated the garden to the Chinese government in 1949. This words on the signs seem curious because all private property was nationalized by the Communist Party in the same year. The garden was not opened to the public until 1956.
The garden's design attracted the attention of notable visitors, such as the painter Ni Zan, who created the painting Picture Scroll of Lion Grove in 1373. In 1703, the Kangxi Emperor visited the garden, and in 1765, the Qianlong Emperor also visited the garden and left a tablet True Delight personally inscribed by him as a gift. He also had a replica of the garden constructed in the Changchun garden of the Summer Palace and at the Chengde Mountain Resort.
The 1.1 ha garden is divided into two main parts, a housing complex and rockery around a central pond. In addition to the 22 buildings the garden also houses 25 tablets, 71 steles, 5 carved wooden screens, and 13 ancient specimen trees, some dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. The garden is most famous for its elaborate grotto of taihu rocks. This 1154 m2 grotto contains a maze of 9 paths winding through 21 caves across 3 levels. The pond divides the grotto into the east and west sections. The formal entrance to the western section is called the Eight Diagram Tactics located across the Jade Mirror Bridge from the Pointing at Cypress Hall. The taihu stone peaks are located atop this grotto. The most famous attraction in the grotto is the Lion Peak, surrounded by four other stones - Han Hui, Xuan Yu, Tu Yue, and Ang Xiao - which collectively form the Famous Five Peaks. There is a folktale about two immortals, Iron-Crutch Li and Lü Dongbin, who wandered into the maze of the Lion Grove and lost their way, after which they settled in a cave to play chess.
