Xijiang Moon under the Windy Mountain Peak
Full of autumn colors, with ten miles of lakes and lakes laid flat. The boat was hindered by the wind and waves, and the waves were blown up by the breeze.
It will be better if the wind returns tomorrow. What's wrong with sleeping out tonight? The palace in the water is like playing colorful plumage, when arrived in Yueyang, the quasi on the Yueyang tower to watch the lake and mountain scenery.
Translation
A boat full of autumn colors is sailing on the vast and flat river. The boat was blocked by the wind and waves, and the breeze blew the scales and waves, causing waves. It will be better if the wind turns downwind tomorrow, so what does it matter if we sleep out tonight? The palace in the water is like playing colorful plumage. When you arrive in Yueyang, you must watch the lakes and mountains on Yueyang Tower.
