Liulang Wenying (Orioles Singing in the Willows)
柳浪闻莺
A willow park on the southeastern shore of West Lake, with wide lawns. It is a good place to watch the sunset over the lake and see Leifeng Pagoda.
Liulang Wenying is one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake. It was once the Jingci Garden, an imperial garden of the Southern Song. Willows line the lake, and in spring the 'willow waves' flutter and orioles sing. The park has large lawns and gentle lake banks, offering distant views of Leifeng Pagoda and the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. Sunset here is very popular. The park also contains Wenying Hall and the Qian King Ancestral Hall. Admission is free. It is about 1.5 km from the Lakeside Pedestrian Street and a walk along Nanshan Road will take you there.
