Favor the classic viewpoint looking across the calm waters of South Lake toward the Red Boat moored by Heart-of-the-Lake Island with Misty Rain Tower rising behind it, showing weeping willow fronds and stone lake-shore pavers in the foreground, the calm water reflections, wooden Red Boat, and classical island pavilions in the middle-ground, and the soft, misty Jiangnan horizon fading in the background.

Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick weeping willows along South Lake, lotus pads, and ancient camphor groves.
