It
is the upper reach of the Qiantang River in central Zhejiang
Province. The farther you travel up along the river, the
greener the water becomes just like a green bend zigzagging
among mountains and peaks. The major scenic sights along
the river are Crane Hill (Heshan), Heavenly Prince Ridge
(Tianzigang), Tongjun Hill, Fishing Terrace of Yan Ziling,
and Eastern Han Dynasty official who once sought seclusion
in Fuchun River area, Calabash Waterfall (Hulupubu) and
Double Pagodas Piercing Clouds (Shuangtalingyun). Crane
Hill, so named because a rock down the hill resembles
a crane, is enshrouded in green trees. A tower, called
the First Tower in the Fuchen River area, stands on the
hillside facing the river and commands a good view of
the river where junks are sailing along and birds flying
over the water. Tongjun Hill rises abruptly on the riverside
with a pagoda erected in the green woods on the hill.
The hill appears quite lofty when looked up at from a
boat on the river.
