The Hangzhou West Lake Cultural Landscape consists of West Lake and the hills surrounding it on three sides, and has provided inspiration to famous poets, scholars and artists since the 9th century. It includes numerous temples, pagodas, pavilions, gardens and ornamental trees, as well as causeways and artificial islands. These additions were created to enhance the landscape to the west of Hangzhou city and to the south of the Yangtze River.
