Huagang Guanyu (Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor)

Viewing Fish at Flower Harbor, known in Chinese as Huagang Guanyu, is a large landscaped park along the southwestern shore of West Lake, near the southern end of the Su Causeway. It is one of the classic Ten Scenes of West Lake, a set of vistas first celebrated in painting and poetry during the Southern Song dynasty.

The site originated in the thirteenth century as a private garden built by a Song dynasty court official near a freshwater stream running from nearby Huajia Hill. In the late seventeenth century, the Qing emperor Kangxi visited the site and had an imperial stele erected with his four-character inscription, cementing its place among the lake's essential landscapes.

The centerpiece of the park is the Red Carp Pond, where schools of crimson and golden carp gather under arched stone bridges and open pavilions. Surrounding paths lead through shaded tree groves, open lawns, and a traditional peony garden centered on an ornate wooden pavilion.
