People have too much imagination about the west lake. Many scholars have praised the beautiful scenery of the west lake since ancient times. The most famous sentence is su dongpo's "if you want to compare west lake to west lake, it is always appropriate to put on makeup". The west lake is gentle and charming. In the project of vanke xucun, we borrowed half of the west lake to integrate the extreme Oriental beauty into the zen life of zheyun. We hope that in the hustle and bustle of the city, busy people can get a little peace and tranquility in this piece of bamboo, water, zen, moon and tea. Xu cun is located five or six miles east of hangzhou linping core area. The geographical features are changing from hill to plain. The landscape is vast and flat. We take hangzhou's west lake, which is rich in eastern implication, as an element to create a modern style of new Oriental beauty. Want to speak of jiangnan, can surely remember that a cluster of green and straight bamboo, breeze gently blows the tender leaf that just gives bud, the fragrance that moist soil gives fully after rain, bring a person "green, clear, cool, static" enjoy. The "yunqi bamboo trail", with the theme of "bamboo", has become a mountain path entering the demonstration area. One or two bamboo stands near the window, and three or five bamboo branches are planted. However, hundreds of bamboo trees are planted on both sides of the corridor, just like tall bamboo walls. The bamboo's mood and charm are merged with the modern architectural style, forming a sense of solemn ceremony. South of hangzhou's west lake, there is a paradise of taoyuan hidden in the scenic area, here away from the hustle and bustle of the city, when the golden autumn season, manjuelong road on the more than 7,000 osmanthus flowers, fragrance floating several miles, qinrenxin, this place is called "manlong osmanthus rain". Enter courtyard from this and come, after passing the end of channel of bamboo forest can see, the Chinese style entrance that USES 3 kinds of hues of black and white ash, take stone as ink, the light line line pen, contracted line a stroke a picture all reveal a distinctive new Oriental style. There is always something to be regretted in the short blooming season of osmanthus flowers. Under the background of white wall, a couple of colorful maple trees are planted. The maples with unique shapes look natural and casual, but they look just right. Along the bamboo straight to the Sanskrit buddhist path, the grey granite floor and the lush green bamboo on both sides, when hearing the bird's voice, if the midsummer so far, such as into the cool world, a little turn, the spacious square entrance seems to tell you the incomparable deep rhyme jiangnan memory. Early morning into the temple, early sun gaolin. The winding path leads to a secluded place. The mountain light yue birds sex, image sky heart. This all silent, but yu chiqing sound. -- "the temple behind the temple" chang jian We have been thinking about the origin of the beauty of the west lake. In today's world, the west lake is probably the only place in the city that will not be disturbed. Therefore, for the core courtyard, we created a landscape lake to keep the "lake" in the courtyard. The combination of Oriental aesthetics and zen habits gives people the freedom of thinking and imagination. A pond of pure water reflects the boundless sky, surrounded by black fine sand, a tree standing alone on white stone, and in the water scene is located the device that traces the lines of dry landscape. The view from above is more like a smart Chinese landscape painting, two waves from the heart of silent ripples, boundless water and clouds, in the landscape stretching out infinite reverie. When people come here, they can get rid of the bondage of time, get rid of the noisy secular world, and pursue the eternal of heart in this peace and harmony. Here can not be another heart to retreat from the world, secluded jiangnan yanyu a good place? Get in, get out. It is inevitable that santan yinyue, known as "the first resort of the west lake", will be perfectly interpreted here. We re-interpreted the artistic conception of landscape with modern methods, and set three mountains in the clear lake. The mountain structure looks simple but has some intentions. The steps on the layers are just like the scattered hills. Sunrise, both sides of the sales floor Windows are printed on the grass and trees shadow, the performance of pure natural beauty; Sunset, warm light across the glass to the lake, instant convergence into a set of west lake image. Along the wide corridor along the window, we have to let people walk out and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake in this outdoor garden. In this long and narrow space and connect fully, just visual enjoy printed on scene how can meet the heart, comes to the west lake, many children can then next "longjing tea", whenever the tomb-sweeping day, mist on the hillside, crafted tea plucking female figure looming between green as tea garden, the singing of birds flying, tactfully, corresponding to added a beautiful scenery of a reiki, also is the west lake in spring unique humanities landscape - may spring basin. What is incredible is that we moved a small tea garden from meijiawu and planted dozens of west lake longjing. We hope to perfectly combine people, nature and culture, and reproduce the natural features of "shili meiwu yunxiang tea", bringing every inch of air into the unique tea fragrance of west lake. People who often live here, when the spring breeze comes, follow a wisp of fragrance to enter this tea garden. From the top of the tea tree, a touch of tender green, deep into the tea pot, their life is old. Then they are remodelled in the water.
