Nanshan Road
Nanshan Road follows the south bank of West Lake. Along the road are cultural relics and historic sites such as Thunder Peak Pagoda, Jingci Temple, King Qian’s Memorial, and the ruins of a Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) sluice gate. There are also former residences of notable personalities, including Chenglu Villa, Henglu Cottage, Yingbai Mansion, and Goushan Mansion. The China Academy of Art is located here. Both sides of the road are lined with Chinese parasol trees, which are a pure delight for the eyes in autumn. Nanshan Road is representative of Hangzhou streets, which boast historic landscapes and artistic milieus.
