Attraction Highlight:
If you want to find a way to enjoy West Lake clearly and quickly, Sudi Causeway is your first choice. It shoots across the lake like an arrow.
From Sudi Causeway you can spot the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon(三谭印月) and the Lesser Yingzhou islands, which look like submerged tortoises with trees and temples growing on them. The islands themselves have quaint pagodas and are excellent for viewing the pools. Standing over the lake are towers cut with file holes apiece. During the Mid-Autumn Festival which usually falls around late-September, glowing candles are placed in these niches creating a flickering effect that dances along the lakeshore. For this spectacle, it's best to rent or hire a boat - an old Mid-Autumn Festival tradition where revelers would come to the lake to admire the moon while sipping tea and laughing with friends.
