Replica wins awards

A REPLICA of the West Lake scenic spot called Fish Viewing at Flower Pond has won 10 awards at the China International Garden Expo in Beijing, including a Special Contribution Award for the Hangzhou government and an Outstanding Construction Award for the West Lake Scenic Area Administration.

The replica also won awards for garden design, construction, planting and indoor settings. The award ceremony was in Beijing on Monday.

Fish Viewing at Flower Pond is one of the top 10 scenic spots around West Lake. The replica, 50 meters by 45 meters, includes an aquarium filled with goldfish from Hangzhou.

The replica was displayed at the expo for six months. Some of its decorative elements were borrowed from the Mid-lake Pavilion, Autumn Moon over the Peaceful Lake and the Qianwang Temple.

The original garden was built during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279).
