An astrological guide to Yangzhou

Pisces (20 February – 20 March)

The Slender West Lake

For fishes, what matters most is not where to go, but what scenery they will encounter upon arrival. Hence why Slender West Lake is an ideal spot. It is dotted with Suzhou-style gardens and amazes visitors with its graceful natural beauty and architecture. The lake is also known for its narrow and meandering waterways that connect gardens, bridges and the area's numerous picturesque spots.

Slender West Lake was originally a natural river course leading to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal during the Sui (AD 581-618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties. Its layout was formed during the emperors Kangxi and Qianlong's reigns in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). For the imaginative and adventurous Pisces, the scene is certainly an ideal place to spend an afternoon or two.
