    A VISIT TO QIANTANG LAKE IN SPRINGGushan Temple is to the north, Jiating pavilion west,The water's surface now is calm, the bottom of the clouds low.In several places, the first orioles are fighting in warm trees,By every house new swallows peck at spring mud.Disordered flowers have grown almost enough to confuse the eye,Bright grass is able now to hide the hooves of horses.I most love the east of the lake, I cannot come often enoughWithin the shade of green poplars on White Sand Embankment.
