Misty mountains shrouded the rain.”The ancient poet Su Dongpo wrote this and compared the lake to a beauty “who is always charming in either light or heavy makeup”. On three sides it is sheltered by cloud-capped hills， with one side where downtown Hangzhou is situated， so that the waters and hills are snuggling with each other.
