The Three Pools Mirroring the Moon Scene is located to the south of the Lesser Paradise Island. 'Three Pools' refer to the three stone towers and their surrounding water area. The three towers were erected during the Tianqi Period (1621-1627) in the Ming Dynasty. They stand at the vertexes of a regular triangle, 62 meters (68 yards) away from one another. They have a height of 2.5 meters (8.2 feet), with 2 meters (6.6 feet) above the surface of the water in usual time. The towers are made up of a stone pedestal, an empty sphere, a round cover, a small hexagonal pavilion, and a pear-shaped top. There are six holes evenly distributed around the sphere. At full moon night, candles are lit in the sphere, and the holes are covered with thin paper. The holes, along with the full moon in the sky, are reflected in the water. It seems as if there were so many moons. That is quite unique! Additionally, the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon can be found on the CNY 1 note.
Apart from the top ten scenes, the lake is surrounded by many attractions worth visiting, including the Tomb of General Yue Fei, Tomb of Su Xiaoxiao, the Six Harmonies Pagoda, the Baochu Pagoda, Zhejiang Provincial Museum, the Underwater World, and Hangzhou Zoo.
