Shaoxing East Lake Journey to the West filming location!

Shaoxing East Lake is a famous scenic spot located at the foothills of Ruozhen Mountain in the east of Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. It is famous for its unique natural landscape and rich cultural connotations. [Star] The location of East Lake was originally a bluestone mountain. After the Han Dynasty, Ruozhen Mountain became a stone quarry in Shaoxing. Because there is a river beside the mountain, the stone can be easily transported by waterway after being mined. In the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su, the Duke of Yue State, began to dig mountains and collect rocks to build Yue City. After thousands of years of digging and cutting, half of the bluestone mountain was removed, forming a cliff more than 50 meters high. Workers generally dig into the ground for more than 20 meters, and some even reach forty or fifty meters. Over time, cliffs more than 50 meters high and clear water ponds about 200 meters long and 80 meters wide are formed. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Tao Junxuan, the 45th generation grandson of Tao Yuanming and a famous Shaoxing village sage, had a unique vision. He built a dike of several hundred feet here, with a river outside the dike, and led the river water outside the dike into a deep pit. That is, the inside of the dike is a lake, with mountains in the lake and caves hidden in the mountains. Mountains, water, stones, caves, bridges, embankments, boats, flowers, trees, pavilions and pavilions are all present, forming a large Jiangnan water and stone bonsai that is beautiful, dangerous, majestic and strange. Therefore, the lake is located in the east of the city, so it is named East Lake. [Star] It is very convenient to get to Shaoxing East Lake from Shanghai.

[GreenHeart] The way to visit the East Lake Scenic Area in Shaoxing is half boat and half walking, that is, go in and take the boat and come out and walk. You can also do the opposite, go in and come out by boat. Another way to travel is to walk the whole way. When you enter, you first climb the mountain and take the mountain road, and then go down the mountain and take the embankment road out. Both of these can well experience the wonders of this landscape, but due to different angles, they have their own surprises.
