¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡ Wu Hill, a solitary bulk of hills, zigzags its way into the urban center of Hangzhou. It is the last part of the Cloud Hill. For its unique position, traditions, legends and cultural heritage features, the hill became one of the ten new attractions at the West Lake in 1985. The landscape of the Wu Hill has five unique features. The 800-year-old camphor trees and 600-year-old dragon cypresses stand like towers, serving as weathered witnesses to history. Rocks take all kinds of grotesque forms. Some look like animals and some resemble people. Caves and cliffs show their rocky appearances in different ways and colors. It could take days for a tourist to go through a looking journey with all these rock formations. Temples are numerous. The most representative used to be the august-looking Town God Temple, surrounded by towering trees. On the relic site now stands a many-storied pavilion-like structure built to recover its previous magnificence and significance. The building commands a breathtaking panorama of the lake. Many temples resulted in many temple fairs. Festivals used to take place for the sake of folk celebrations that happened to fall on red-letter days in Chinese Lunar Calendar. When such a temple festival took place, visitors were numerous, displaying a picture of ancient customs in local styles. The Wu Hill used to attract great writers and poets since ancient times. They left something behind in memory of their visits. Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Lu You, Xue Wei, Li Yu, Yu Dafu were among the famed literati. Their writings about their visits to the hill are still popular today. The Wu Hill is a good place to look out at the city, the lake and the Qiantang River beyond the mountains. Standing high on the top floor of the town god pavilion or a vantage spot on the peaks and feeling the heavenly breeze touching your face, you can have a wonderful time looking at the lake on one side, at the Qiantang River on the other side. Or you can look at the urban sprawling away or at the green hills.
