West Lake, Hang Zhou, China 西湖 杭州
This is one of my favorite cities. I’m glad it made its way to the UNESCO list!
“The West Lake has influenced garden design in the rest of China as well as Japan and Korea over the centuries and bears an exceptional testimony to the cultural tradition of improving landscapes to create a series of vistas reflecting an idealised fusion between humans and nature.” — unesco.org
