There are many pavilions by the West Lake. If you walk along the Beishan Road, you will see a pavilion after a few steps.

P1-P2 shows the pavilion hang plaque with the words “秀撷”.

"秀撷" is taken from the phrase "采秀撷群芳,争储百药良", in the poem named "Dragon Boat Poetry" by Su Shi, which means the custom of hanging calamus during the Dragon Boat Festival.

P3 shows the pavilion that is a niche Internet celebrity attraction on Beishan Road. Every year in late autumn, the pavilion is particularly beautiful under the red maple tree.

There’s a plaque on it with the words "绿水芙蕖", which means wealth and auspiciousness.

Coming out of Qiu Jin's tomb and returning to the lake, we passed a pavilion, but I can not find an introduction. The pavilion is made of stone, and the style is not like southern-style architecture of China, but has some taste of Western-style architecture.

Walking further along West Lake, I saw the teacher taking a group of children to do extracurricular practice. The teacher is introducing the children to the difference between wild ducks and mandarin ducks.

The pavilion where they are located is the "云亭 Cloud Pavilion", which is built in 1920.

Furthermore, behind the pavilion there is a spring called "Cloud Spring", still providing clear spring.
