Red Carp Pond, also known as ‘Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor,’ is one of the classic ‘Ten Scenes of West Lake’ in Hangzhou. Originally the garden of a Southern Song dynasty official, this picturesque site has been a source of inspiration for artists for over 800 years. The pond, surrounded by vibrant flowers, offers a serene and visually captivating experience. Today, visitors can still enjoy the tranquil beauty of the pond and its colorful carp, making it a popular destination for people of all ages.
