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.
