Autumn Moon on a Quiet Lake
Autumn Moon on a Quiet Lake, Historic garden at West Lake, China.
Located at the southeast corner of Gushan Hill, this lakeside garden spans 0.16 hectares with direct views across West Lake's expansive waters.
The site received recognition during the Southern Song Dynasty as one of the Ten Poetically Named Scenic Places of West Lake, with Emperor Kangxi later inscribing its name.
The location inspired musician Lü Wencheng to compose a celebrated Cantonese piece in the 1930s, combining Zhejiang silk-and-bamboo music with Cantonese traditions.
Visitors can reach the garden throughout the day and experience optimal views during autumn evenings when moonlight reflects on the lake surface.
The garden features a specific vantage point where the moon's reflection merges with the lake waters, creating a mirror effect during fall nights.
