A Secret Place in Jiangnan by the West Lake】A Day Trip to Guozhuang Garden**

**【 Guozhuang, hidden by the West Lake, is a Jiangnan garden that has been treated gently by time. Stepping into the garden gate, pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water unfold slowly in front of you like an ink painting. Passing through the moon-shaped gate, the curved bridge and flowing water are reflected on both sides, and among the green bamboos, there is a lakeside teahouse facing the West Lake. Brewing a cup of Longjing tea and looking at the distant mountains, it seems as if you are in the "Fuchun Mountain Residence". The most wonderful is the "Liangyi Pavilion", which is separated by a window and frames the shimmering waves of the West Lake with the tranquility and elegance of the garden. Sit in the garden in the afternoon, listen to the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves rustling, and occasionally a painted boat passes by the lake, startling a flock of gulls and herons. There is no hustle and bustle of tourists here, only the poetry and leisure left by the literati and scholars of Jiangnan. If you want to experience the artistic conception of "enjoying the beauty of mountains and rivers without leaving the city", Guozhuang is definitely the most hidden paradise in Hangzhou that is worth savoring.
