West Lake's beauty has survived any manner of vicissitude. Over more than 2,000 years, more than 20 large-scale projects have been initiated to save West Lake from annihilation. In early 2002, which was the first year of Xi Jinping's tenure in Zhejiang, a comprehensive protection project was officially launched.

"While taking a nap, I dreamed of West Lake's mist and ripples, while punting among the lotus blossoms." The scenery this poet dreamed thousands of years ago can still be seen today. Thanks to every effort that has been taken to protect West Lake, it has become a perfect stage to showcase an open, confident and modest China.
