Breeze-ruffled Lotus at Winding Garden

"Breeze-ruffled Lotus at Winding Garden", one of the Ten Poetically Named Scenic Places of the West Lake in the Southern Song Dynasty, is located 22m west of the northern end of Su Causeway on the northern shore, with an area of about 0.06 ha.

It is known for the Winding Garden, the distillery for making government-sold wine in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the lotus pond around it. After the Song Dynasty, the distillery was closed down and the spot declined. In 1699, the 38th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the place was revived thanks to the Kangxi Emperor's travel to Hangzhou. The Winding Garden, which had been built to the northwest of the Kuahong Bridge of the Su causeway, replaced the distillery and became an important scenic place on the west end of the northern shore.
