Maojia Port
Maojia Port is a village of absolute South China style. It makes the scattering villages into a whole through the connection of Wolong Bridge and Yinxiu Bridge on Yanggong Causeway and the water of Xili Lake (West Inner Lake), forming a broad landscape space mainly based on water landscape. There are large mulberry woods and orchard inside of the scenic spot, composing idyllic scenery of the waterside villages in Zhejiang.

Maojia Port has been famous since Song Dynasty. It is behind the Barley Ridge, and under the Huajia Mountain. It is the main channel to Tianzhu and Longjing. The water from Longjing springs on Nanshan Mountain and the water from Beishan Mountain are all into the West Lake from this place. There is a local bridge called Wolong Bridge, which is very famous. The boats and ships can run here. Beside it, there is Yuhuchun Boite, where you can drink a little bit. It is written in Zhu Zhi Ci by WANG Shilu: The oars gathers at dawn at the harbor, and the spring wind blows the make-up smell everywhere. People call each other at Maojia Port, and all people go boating to the third bridge.
