Taoran Pavilion is one of the four famous pavilions in the Qing Dynasty. It is named after Bai Juyi's poetic style of "waiting for the chrysanthemum and Huang's family to brew well, one drunk and one happy". On the night of the Mid Autumn Festival, I have a seat in the famous pavilions in the garden. Whether it's a drink in the 'drunken man Pavilion', or a talk about calligraphy in the 'Orchid Pavilion and goose pond stele Pavilion', it's very interesting. The island in the center of the lake is located in the west side of Taoranting West Lake. It is surrounded by water on all sides and can only be boarded by boat.

The temple of heaven, built in the Ming Dynasty, was used by the emperors to offer sacrifices to the emperor and pray for abundant grain. Looking at the moon from the rooftop, the Danbi bridge is located in the south of the hall of praying for new year. Standing on the Danbi bridge, you can see the rising moon, and you will feel nostalgic for the past.
