The work reflects on the beauty and significance of West Lake in Hangzhou, particularly through the lens of the author's personal memories and experiences, interspersed with poetic reflections from various famous poets. The narrative seems to anchor itself in nostalgia and cultural heritage surrounding this iconic location. At the start of the book, the author expresses a deep yearning for West Lake after being away for twenty-eight years. He reminisces about the lake's beauty and the significant sites that once thrived around it, lamenting their decay and the toll of time. Through his reflections, the author draws a comparison between his dreams of West Lake, which remain pristine and evocative, and the stark reality he encounters during his visits, which reveal a transformed and deteriorated landscape. This sets the stage for a series of essays or vignettes that will explore the area's history, poetic legacy, and the author's intimate connection to it.
