Black Rock Peak

The Black Rock Peak (Traditional Chinese: 烏石峰; Simplified Chinese: 乌石峰), or Wushi Peak, is a hill in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, People's Republic of China. It faces the Yuquan Campus of Zhejiang University.

Introduction

The peak has an altitude of only 125 meters, which is relatively high in urban Hangzhou. Because its rocks are nearly black (seen from far away), people gave this name to the hill. It's also called the Camel Peak by some Hongzhou elders, probably due to its shape.[1]

On the huge rocks, people can see the panoramic West Lake, so it's an ideal site for viewing West Lake's landscapes.[2] The hill has several historic sites including the Xiangjie (香界).

About 30 meters southwest of Black Rock Peak, lies one of the most famous parks in Hangzhou: the Quyuan-Fenghe (曲院風荷, literal translation: 'zigzagged garden with lotus blooms in wind').

gollark: > have any of the ideologies affected by the things facebook/twitter/whatever do been worth a damn?I don't know. Maybe. I just don't exactly want social media companies having vast amounts of power to control public thought just because they're maybe not misusing it much now.
gollark: I mean, transphobia/fascism/etc aren't really making scientific claims.
gollark: Okay, you are going increasingly far with that?
gollark: Unless their opinions are serious cognitohazards of some form.
gollark: ... sure, ish? The issue is that Facebook/Twitter/whatever control *a whole lot* of speech and stuff now.
