Autumn Moon over the Clam Lake

Situated at the west end of the Bai Causeway, it affords the broadest view of the West Lake. Furthermore, it is a nice garden with delicate pavilions, zigzag little bridges, odd-shaped rockery and a rich variety of plants. On the night of Middle Autumn Festival, it would be no better place along the lake side to enjoy a beautiful full moon here. While sitting on the terrace to enjoy the middle autumn moon, you would be really impressed by seeing the reflections on the water, the cloud and the moon mingling with each other, the moonlight and the lake light enhancing each other's beauty. A famous couplet is dedicated to this scene: “The vast, calm lake is bright as a mirror, the year-round moon is the brightest in the autumn.”
