WEST LAKE
( Xihu) Pagoda-topped hills rise over willow-lined waters as boats drift slowly
through a vignette of leisurely charm.
Originally a lagoon adjoining the Qiantang River, the lake didn't come into
existence until the 8th century, when the governor of Hangzhou had the
marshy expanse dredged.
