Three Pools Mirroring the Moon (Santanyinyue) is one of the most iconic sights on Hangzhou's West Lake. The attraction consists of a small island reached by boat, where three stone pagodas rise from the water. On moonlit nights, candles placed inside the pagodas cast light through the openings, creating reflections that appear as multiple moons on the lake's surface. The island itself is a tranquil garden with winding paths, bridges, and traditional pavilions. Visitors can take a boat tour from the shore, explore the island, and enjoy panoramic views of West Lake and the surrounding hills. It's a must-see for its poetic beauty and cultural significance, often featured in Chinese art and literature. The site is especially popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival when the moon is fullest.
