东湖 East Lake

Guess most of us would had been to 西湖 west lake...East Lake is located at 绍兴 , if you read chinese, more info can be found here : http://www.sxdh.com/

In brief, it is located near the city of shaoxing. Present day Shaoxing sits on the site of the ancient capital city of Kingdom of Yue from Spring and Autumn Period.










Many famous characters from the chinese history had set foot upon this place. You can choose to take a boat ride from to and fro throughout the lake or you can opt to drop off at the far end and walk back.

Basically the boat ride brings you close to the cliffs and have a closer look. some cliffs looks like a bell while another looks like a trumpet. Did not show those photos here as the photos could not bring out the effects.
