Sun Shines On Trees On An Island In A Lake In Guilin.
An island in a lake in Guilin was planted with trees amongst which was a pavilion where people might sit and dream. The lake island would be a safe place to visit and escape any evil spirits that had been following you. You reached the island by crossing the zig zag bridge, an action that the evil spirits could not perform. This is a belief attributed to Feng Shui so the zig zag bridge is seen in gardens and parks where there is a need to get to an island in a lake. To reach the famous Tea House in a lake in Shanghai a zig zag bridge is used. To reach a Pavilion in the Grand View Gardens in Beijing, a zigzag bridge is used to cross the water.

In the height of summer there might not be a better place to spend your time than relax in the Guilin island in a lake.
** Natural lakes on Earth are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing or recent glaciation. Other lakes are found in endorheic basins or along the courses of mature rivers. In some parts of the world, there are many lakes because of chaotic drainage patterns left over from the last Ice Age. All lakes are temporary over geologic time scales, as they will slowly fill in with sediments or spill out of the basin containing them. ** Src: Wikipedia.org |
