Hangzhou Ruan Gong Islet Submerged in Greenery,Ruandun Huanbi

This attraction locates on a small green islet in the West Lake. According to the historical records, the islet was built from lake – bottom silt in 1880 under Zhejiang Provincial Governor Ruanyuan during the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the islet was named as "Ruan Gong Islet" to commemorate him. It is one of the three famous islands in the West Lake. It stood for more than a hundred years as a wildlife refuge since the soil was too soft to support the buildings. Some bamboo halls, pavilions and a paved road were built on the islets. A fishing terrace was opened to the public later on. This islet features the complex of all-bamboo buildings surrounded with varieties of trees and flowers. Therefore, this spot is named as "Ruan Gong Islet Submerged in Greenery".
The whole islet is covered with woods, just like a piece of jadeite in a jasper plate. It appears unique yet natural with all the green willows, bamboos, camphor trees, osmanthus trees and roses. Walking along the islet, you will immediately find yourself in a place like Shangri-la. Looking back from a rowing boat, you will find the islet like a fairy islet with its distinct reflection in the clear water.
