Tianchi Island
Tianchi Pond is the quarrying relics of Southern Song Dynasty. Hangzhou was made the capital in this dynasty, and Tianchi Pond was thus chosen as the quarry to provide stones for the construction of the palaces. It has now been transformed into a high-grade cultural scenic spot consisting of Bailong Tablet Corridor, Watching Fish at Tianchi, Four-layer Waterfall, Exhibition Area of Stone Culture, Workshop of Stoneware, the Best Waters of the World, and other landscapes. Tianchi Island consists of two parts: stone cultural spots including quarrying relics of Southern Song Dynasty, Watching Fish at Tianchi, Four-layer Waterfall and Longheng House, and bird cultural spots including Parrot Corridor, bird art performance, the largest birdcage of China and Ostrich Park. Here is a place combining recreation and education. Have fun and get learned!
