According to the style of the Chu State Yingdu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, East Lake City It embodies the essence of Chu State's high-water city construction. The title "Cheng Chun" is an oracle bone inscription and was inscribed by Hu Houxuan, a scholar of oracle bone inscriptions.
Looking at the fence in the distance, you can see three mountains and two lakes, with green peaks and vast expanse of blue waves. Wuhan Ya, who was brave enough to stand on the tide, chose Chuchengmen as the base for "jumping into the East Lake".

Langting is rarely seen, but it is a rare stone-carved pavilion building in East Lake. The ridge of the pavilion is engraved with cloud patterns, which is antique. There is a hermit temperament from "The Grandmaster", like the legendary opening remarks.
Yuan Shuo, a poet of the Song Dynasty, said: "A wave of smoke surrounds for sixty miles, and there are thousands of young people with a few pairs of jackdaws." The elegance of East Lake became the origin of the name of the pavilion. The waves are still vast, and the love for East Lake remains the same from ancient times to the present.
