In one of his odes to the West Lake, Su describes the different views during and after a spring rain:
"I'd like to compare West Lake to the Fair Lady West; Whether in light attire or heavily adorned, she shines her best."
It's better to visit the lake on a rainy day than on a sunny day, but it's even better to visit on a clear, moonlit night. Cloaked in winter's snow, however, West Lake reveals a grace no other season equals.
