At the western end of the Bai Causeway, Solitary Hill Island (Gu Shan) has a long imperial tradition and offers a number of worthwhile attractions as well as being a great place to find a shady spot to soak up the fine views over the lake. First favored during the Tang dynasty, the Qing emperors Kangxi and Qianlong also enjoyed time here and the Autumn Moon on a Calm Lake Pavilion in the southeast of the island is a testament to their fondness for the area.
