Kunming Lake
Kunming Lake is designed to represent the traditional Chinese gardening practice of "one pond, three hills" (). Like the islands in Hangzhou's West Lake and the Forbidden City's Taiye Lake, they were intended to represent three islands of the immortals mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas": Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang. Kunming's three are named "South Lake Island" ( ,  , "Nánhúdǎo"), "Round Fort Island" ( ,  , "Tuánchéngdǎo"), and "Algæ-view Hall Island" ( ,  , "Zǎojiàntángdǎo")
