湖上春來似畫圖，West Lake in spring is like a picturesque setting 

亂峰圍繞水平鋪。The sinuous mountains surround the jade water.

松排山面千重翠，The dense clusters of verdant pines bathe the mountains.

月點波心一顆珠。and the full moon reflects in the lake like a bright gem.

碧毯線頭抽早稻，The sprouting ears on paddy fields are like lace threads on green carpets.

青羅裙帶展新蒲。The verdant river palms spread like ribbons of hemlines.

未能拋得杭州去，Why do I hate to leave Hangzhou behind?

一半勾留是此湖。Partly because the lake makes me linger on

PS: In these sultry days, how I wish I could stay at West Lake in the springtime.  FYI, the city of Hangzhou will host the Asian Games in September, and I hope the camera will focus more on West Lake besides the games themselves.
