    The ice on west lake is a little thick.

    Early in the morning on Monday, a Mr. Chen living in Zhao Hui Road in Hangzhou climbed onto the Ha Ma Hill of Bao Shi Shan from a slippery ghat and made photos for the snowy scenery of the West Lake. The snow melt very fast and after few hours, the shooting amateurs who wake up late are unable to snapshot the beautiful snowy scenery. Yesterday in the “Shooting Amateurs” circles people are all sad about losing the chance to make photo for the snowy West Lake, someone begging depressedly, “I want to make photo for the snowy scenery of West Lake, also want to snapshot the icy scenery, who can help to tell me where I can go?”

    A person called Uncle Zhou disclose the fact for us, “up to 11 o’clock in the noon, more that 80% of the lotus area that is on the opposite of the scenery spot named “Moon over the Peaceful Lake in Autumn” was icebound and 60% of the lotus area of Xi Ling Stage was also icy.”
