A Lake That Shaped Chinese Painting

West Lake has been landscaped and re-landscaped since the 9th century, and its composition — causeways, islands, pagodas at measured intervals — became the template for garden design across East Asia. UNESCO listed it in 2011 for exactly that influence.

The clock: Hangzhou keeps UTC+8. Marco Polo described it as the finest city in the world; at the time it may have been the largest, with over a million residents.
