Besides the variety of sports to spectate, the 19th Asian Games host city Hangzhou has much natural beauty to offer. Take the city's West Lake for example, a cultural landscape that over the centuries has accumulated pagodas, pavilions, temples, gardens with ornamental trees, man-made islands and causeways. Recently, it has been a hive of activity at sunset, as tourists roam its shores or take boats across the sun-kissed waters. The muse of many of China's poets, artists and scholars, the influence of its aesthetics and design has reached as far as Japan and Korea. The scenery at this UNESCO World Heritage Site is set to provide athletes and visitors moments of serenity between sporting events.
