Shaoxing East Lake

Shaoxing East Lake is one of the three famous lakes in Zhejiang Province, located in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. Since the Han Dynasty, stone workers have successively carved and quarried in Qing Shi Mountain, forming dangerous cliffs and deep pools. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tao Junxuan, the 45th generation descendant of the famous scholar Tao Yuanming from Kuaiji, built a dike around the lake to form East Lake. After several generations and more than a hundred years of decoration, East Lake has mountains, water, stones, caves, bridges, dikes, boats, flowers, trees, pavilions and buildings, becoming a garden in the south of the Yangtze River that combines beauty, danger, majesty, and wonder.
