Black Rock Peak

Black Rock Peak

The Black Rock Peak (Traditional Chinese: 烏石峰; Simplified Chinese: 乌石峰), or Wushi Peak, is a hill located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, People's Republic of China. It just faces to the Yuquan Campus of Zhejiang University.

Introduction

The peak has an altitude of only 125 meters, which is also relatively high in urban Hangzhou. Because the rocks on the hill are nearly black (seeing faraway), so people gave such name to the hill. It's also called as the Camel Peak by some Hongzhou local elders, probably due to its shape. [ [http://baike.baidu.com/view/564280.htm 乌石峰_百度百科 ] ]

On the huge rocks of the hill, people can see the panoramic West Lake, so it's also one of the ideal sites for viewing West Lake's whole landscapes [ [http://www.jiaodong.net/travel/system/2007/05/30/010025876.shtml 杭州五大经典登山线路(图)-旅游 ] ] . The hill also has several historic sites including the Xiangjie (香界).

Just down aside the hill (about 30 meters southwest), there's one of the most famous parks in Hangzhou - the Quyuan-Fenghe (曲院風荷, literally translation: "zigzaged garden with lotus blooms in wind")
