On the mountain ranges, building complex designed in the style of Tibetan temples look magnificent and dignified. At the foot of the mountain, limpid water of the lake follows the wavy terrain and becomes a serene river flowing east.

Viewed from the Pavilion of Buddhist Incense, West Causeway, which was constructed in imitation of Su Causeway on the West Lake, looks like a green ribbon winding from south to north on the green and rippling Kunming Lake. Each of the six bridges on the West Causeway has its own form and each is graceful in its own way. Like a rainbow, the Seventeen-arch Bridge is captivating, lying on the lake in the mists.
