Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the calm waters of West Lake toward Leifeng Pagoda from the Bai Causeway or Broken Bridge, showing weeping willow fronds and stone bridge parapets in the foreground, the calm lake water, lotus pads, and causeway in the middle-ground, and the iconic tiered silhouette of Leifeng Pagoda crowning the forested hill against the soft sky in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the lush emerald waters of West Lake, thick weeping willows along the causeways, and forested tea hills of Longjing.
