Westlake Panorama (3) — Antique Map Print

Hangzhou's West Lake has drawn artists and mapmakers for centuries, its blend of natural scenery and built pavilions, pagodas, and causeways codified as early as the Southern Song dynasty into the famous "Ten Scenes of West Lake." The Qing dynasty's Kangxi Emperor personally inscribed the names of these scenic vistas in 1699, cementing the lake's status as one of China's most revered landscapes. This panorama presents the lake in the sweeping, continuous format that Chinese printmakers favored for capturing its full scenic range in a single image.
