The brimming waves delight the eye on sunny days;
The dimming hills give a rare view in rainy haze.
The West Lake looks like the fair lady at her best
Whether she is richly adorned or plainly dressed. (Su Shi)

The brimming waves delight the eye on sunny days; The dimming hills give a rare view in rainy haze. The West Lake looks like the fair lady at her best Whether she is richly adorned or plainly dressed.
