The Ten Scenes of West Lake were formed during the Southern Song Dynasty, mostly distributed around the lake with some located directly on its waters. They are: Spring Dawn at Su Causeway, Breeze-ruffled Lotus at Quyuan Garden, Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake, Lingering Snow on Broken Bridge, Orioles Singing in the Willows, Viewing Fish at Flower Pond, Leifeng Tower in Evening Glow, Twin Peaks Piercing the Clouds, Evening Bell Ringing at Nanping Hill, and Three Pools Mirroring the Moon. Attractions such as the "New Ten Scenes of West Lake" and the "Three-Time Selected Ten Scenes of West Lake" are also located within the West Lake Scenic Area.
