Glassy water surface like glazed tiles, the boat drifts unknowingly✨
A gentle breeze brushes the lake, startling sandpipers to skim along the shore~

【Legendary Easter Egg】
It is said that when Su Shi dredged West Lake back then,
he piled the excavated silt to form the three stone pagodas🛕
At night, moonlight passes through the holes in the pagodas, casting moon reflections
That’s how the name "Three Pools Mirroring the Moon" came about~
