 ◆ Fuchun River

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.
